The so-called tasking of lemurs will serve you well - that is, you click on a selected individual with the mouse and give him an order such as "break the wall", "build stairs", or "dig up", etc. Your task is to always transport a certain percentage of these unfortunates safely to the exit. Here, however, a problem arises, because lemurs, although cute, have completely lost their minds and thus with a woman right behind her nose, hitting the walls, or falling (word as whip) straight to death. The principle is basically very simple: in a screen full of various platforms, columns, walls, depressions and terrain irregularities, a group of small leopard creatures spills out from above, those driven by mother nature (or whatever) try to get to the exit at all costs and then hurray out (if they knew that only the next level was waiting for them, they probably wouldn't be moving like that).

Well, who wouldn't remember that little blue-green vermin with suicidal tendencies? It's been true for some time since this legend first shone on our monitors, but some games are simply not forgotten, and especially this one. To get an impression of the look of the Pingus game you might want to have a look at some screenshots.Classic, classic, just a classic between logic games and computer games in general. It has also a few new actions, like the jumper which weren't presented in the original game. While Pingus is based on the idea of Lemmings tm, it however doesn't try to be an exact clone, it has included a few ideas of its own, like the worldmap or secret levels, which might be familiar from games the Super Mario World and other Nintendo games. For more information you might want to visit one of the numerous visit Lemmings tm fanpages on the net. The goal of each level is to reach the exit, for this multiple combination of commands are necessary. Since the animals walk on their own, the player can only influence them by giving them commands, like build a bridge, dig a hole or redirect all animals in the other direction. The player takes command in the game of a bunch of small animals and has to guide them through levels. It is a puzzle game developed in 1991 by DMA Design. If you don't know Lemmings tm, here comes a short introduction. In the years it has grown than quite a bit over the original goal and become something more than just a clone, we have original artwork, a built-in level editor, new actions, multiplayer and a few other features. You basically get everything that I used to create this game. The Free means you get the sources and are allowed and encouraged to change and distribute them. Pingus has started at the end of 1998 with the simple goal to create a Free (as in freedom, not as in free beer) Lemmings tm clone. It features currently 77 playable levels and runs under a wide variety of operating systems (Linux, Windows, MacOSX, etc.) The Game Pingus is a free Lemmings tm-like puzzle game covered under the GNU GPL.
