Great gameplay and solid mechanics! Definitely one of my top picks for this jam. Congratulations on completing the game!

Thank you! Means a lot :D

I think this entry is my favorite. Great game, fun, good use of space and keeping things readable. The almost invisible shoes are a cute touch. Well done :)

Developer

Wow, I'm stunned! Thank you!

Submitted

Loved playing this! 

Developer

Thank you!

Had an absolute blast playing your game =)

Really cool execution and interesting level design. I think it fits the low resolution very well.

Great jam entry you have here. Love it!

I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you!

Escape games have always had their own charm, but this puzzle perfectly combines both the personal concern for the escapees and the scale of a large‑scale planned escape!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Super happy to hear that.

this game unlocked some core childhood memories for me. i immediately thought about lemmings, but your game is still it's own unique experience. there should be more games with this formula because it's just fun. had a blast. great job!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! That is what I tried to emulate, I'm glad it worked!

As a huge early lemmings fan who spent countless hours in the early 90s playing that game, I was not disappointed with your entry! Really flawless execution and really fun to go through all the levels! My only complaint is that I hit the R key a few times instead of the E key and ended up restarting the level when I was trying to rotate some equipment - finally figured out that I could also use the space key :)

Love the HR option :)

Developer

Thank you! That cheeky R key got me a few times too :P, I wasn't sure on what other key would make sense.

Nice!!! Really recreates the fun from Lemmings. “Solves HR problems” had me literally lolling. :)

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad to hear that Lemmings are still remebered well. :D

Dang! Great art and the concept is very unique! I also really liked the sound effects and the unique menu screen!

Developer

Thanks!

Developer

Thank you! More levels are to come! (hopefully)
