Clones
Easily the best game i’ve ever created :)
I really enjoyed the 2-player mode of Lemmings for the SNES growing up. Years later when i started LAN gaming i wanted to relive that gameplay but sadly discovered that there was no networked (or even modern) version available - so i decided to create one and convinced a friend to help.
Clones is our tribute to the Lemmings-style, with modern features like leaderboards, map editor, various gamemodes, team multiplayer, and co-op for singleplayer puzzles. Multiple checkpoints can be set so you can explore different solutions to the puzzles without having to do parts of the level over again. I prefer the the multiplayer for the strategy and quick thinking - just like the old days! :)

Well, with almost a 100 hours playing this I can say I got a very good deal for the little money I paid for the game. It was pretty entertaining for a long time. But, and that’s a big BUT, you must consider that nearing the end of the game there are some very, very obscure puzzles and… yeah: zero clues. The developers kinda had their fun providing solutions for the very easy ones but nothing for the hardest, which is kinda a nonsense and the biggest flaw in my view. To make things worst, there’s zero help on their website, other than cute coments, and found nothing relevant around the net.

Dwarflings
This is a really likeable tactical puzzle game with oldschool taste which feels like the mix of Lemmings and Commandos. Here’re some reasons why you would like it (without particular order):
1. Art is simple, but very nice and with great attention to details, and quite a lot of them make you smile.
2. Rules and controls are very easy to learn, you do not really question how to play the game, you just play.
3. Levels are well-thought and each built around its own idea. There’s no complexity for the sake of complexity. Many of them will make you scratch your head, but once you get it right you go through. It never gets too long to bore you. Harder levels are sometimes followed with the easier to relax a bit, and then there’s a new puzzle.

Do not buy this, it is a terrible excuse for a game. It says it is “Lemmings meets Lost Vikings” but both of those were clever, well thought-out games that were fun - this is definitely not. Add in the covert in-app purchases and I think you have the measure of its design.
In short, you click one of a few icons to get the dwarf you are controlling to do something. The game has no charm, subtlety or depth. I am fairly sure that very few people continued far in, judging by the % ratings on each achievement. It only appears that I have played it for 11 hours because I idled it for the cards. I will now be uninstalling it and not wasting any more time on this poor effort.

Dumb Little Creatures
Really funny! Interesting gameplay. It’s not as easy as it sounds and it takes some time to understand, but really fun to play. Both frustrating and satisfying at the same time

Flockers™
Flockers bases on the Lemmings' game concept, but you should not expect an alike experience.
The nature of the sheep forces them to rely on the fancy abilities rather than tools that they have learnt throughout the long-term service for the worms, though there are placeable blocks they can climb. Frankly saying, the abilities are very few and the utilities too little to create diversity, but the environment makes a creative use of them, patching up a possibility of repetitiveness.
Flockers will challenge you with 66(!) levels, many of which players may find too demanding. The traps are countless, and some puzzles will keep you awake at night in search for the solution. The difficulty is especially visible when you aim to max out the game - you might start struggling at the beginning already. Because of that, I’d gladly see some saving feature, that could allow to correct mistakes or find out what contraptions do without pulling your hair out. The pause is much of help while in such trouble, unfortunately it’s far from perfect. You can’t place blocks or assign abilities while it’s active. Sometimes you have to pick a certain sheep among of an accumulated herd and if you happen to pick wrong, the whole run may go to waste.

Fresh take on Lemmings :) Think Worms Landscapes that are more diabolical, and Lemmings type of Game Play.
I loved playing lemmings when I was a child, this is the more grown-up version of it, with sheep instead of little pixilated men! Can be as gory or non-bloody if you so choose. The new environmental aspects are great, Tellaporters, gravity reversal, mines, sharp bone blades and, Worms driving Death Machines with saw blades and spikes ready to take out your flock without hesitation. Guide your Flock of sheep through the map using ability box’s you either start with or pick up along the way, to the trumpet looking exit vacuum. Making sure to do it as quickly as possible without losing too many of your sheep. Sacrifices are usually a necessity, except for rounds where you only have 1 sheep. Knowing that this game is still in Early Access stage, it’s one of the best functioning “Alpha’s” I’ve played in quite awhile.

Mousecraft is a delightful casual experience. The puzzles are straighforward, but propose a nice, non-frustrating challenge should you decide to get a “Perfect” rating.
I think the game finds a nice balance in its audience as it can appeal to both the young and the “old.” From personal experience, teenagers and overall competitive people will not enjoy the game very much as it is not fast paced and does not rely on skill, but rather your ability to analyze a situation and consider all the elements that are part of it. It does have leaderboards, but the scoring system is a bit obscure, making competition somewhat pointless.

MouseCraft is a puzzle game that should appeal to casual gamers and hardcore puzzle enthusiasts alike. Finding one solution to pass a level is usually trivial, but if you aim to collect every anima shard and get all three mice to the cheese, you might be in for a challenge.
The first stage is relatively simple and does a good job of introducing you to the gameplay mechanics. By the end of stage two though, I found myself genuinely stumped at some of the puzzles. I probably spent a good ten minutes or more figuring out some of those last challenges.

Liberation Mutagenix
Liberation Mutagenix is a fun game that feels reminiscent of the older lemmings games, but stands out with its own identity of a uniquely polished artstyle. I really enjoyed playing through each of these levels and thinking about how to beat it until everything clicks. The game allows for you to trial and error as much as you want with being able to restart levels even with your tools already placed down, allowing you to figure out more complex puzzles levels without having to waste too much time on setup.

Lil Big Invasion
Awesome indie game with way enough content to fit the bill. Its kinda like Pikmin except they are trapped in dungeons and you must find and rescue them.
Really loved the sound and the art-style. Dungeons are getting way harder and better later on and the boss fights are fun. It took me some time to get used to the controls tho. Exploration is great IF you figure out how the moths and the worms do work… which is not part of the tutorial :/
It’s cute but challenging and worth the money.

This is a fun little action adventure game, developed by my former colleague Andreas. It’s so cute, but challenging ‘til the last minute and the sounds are really funny, even if the little fireflies sometimes don’t behave as you want them to. But that’s the trick of the game and you’ll soon know how to handle them right in order to crack some highscores. Overall, an awesome game!

Tin Hearts: Prologue
2 Minute Video Review → https://youtu.be/slPuCooKGbg
Tin Hearts is a lemmings type game. Tiny toy soldiers march forward and it’s up to you to guide their path to the goal.
You don’t control the toy soldiers directly, you need to change other objects to steer them. Starting with just simple blocks to make them turn, but eventually you’ll be manipulating other toys to steer them. And there’s some creative contraptions that get involved as well.
The levels start small, but eventually you’ll need to guide the soldiers through large toy shops.

Experienced on the Oculus Rift with Touch Controllers
The most beautiful VR game I have ever played. Each puzzle room will amaze you with its idyllic charm. You almost forget about the puzzles and just want to look around and play with the different assets. Unfortunately, most of the assets are there just for decoration as you cannot interact with them (outside what the puzzle wants you to interact with to solve the puzzle).
The puzzles follow along the normal Lemming-style puzzle challenges. However, several of the mechanics are done keeping with the toy workshop theme. You can stop time, forward time or reverse time. You’ll use toy blocks to guide your toy soldiers. They will jump on toy drums, take a balloon ride over obstacles, or bounce off a book or toy train. There will be obstacles such as the Jack-in-the-box to avoid.

Tomb Rumble
It’s like a Celeste and Towerfall mixup,
Instead of an strawberry you have to get a crystal, and instead of using arrows to kill others you use traps
Oh, and you can create your own maps, pretty cool

After trying this game out for a short while, I can say two things for sure:
1. While it’s clearly not a Transformice, this game creates a very similar fun and enjoyable vibe
2. I want to actually play Tomb Rumble more!
The pixel visuals fits perfectly for a MMO platformer, and controls are quite good - so far I didn’t had any trouble with movement, which in that kind of game is important. I can’t say much about
I suggest you to try the game yourself, since Tomb Rumble is a free to play title. It doesn’t take much space on HDD, you don’t need to create any external accounts to play it, and each game/level doesn’t take much time. Since Tomb Rumble launched just recently, there are many people playing it online so you won’t get bored.
