This is another project done by some old college friends and I.
This was created about a year ago for the 2003 IGF. It has many flaws because it was our first major project with the Virtools Development kit, so it was a learning experience all around.
The game is a 3D parody of the old Lemmings titles. Some of the old team members may have posted about the game before, but the installer was probably never posted here.
In this game the Lemmings are swarming over the earth. They swarm through different continents, different timelines, what have you. Your job is to stop them (unlike the original games where you had to help them survive), and you stop them by planting traps in their path.
The current demo features one level from the medieval themed settings. The lemmings are all themed in the same manner as the environments, so instead of the usual lemmings you have knight lemmings, peasant lemmings, king lemmings, and so on.
Game play breaks down into two stages, Planning stage and Action stage. The planning stage gives you a few seconds to look over the layout of the level, survey the possible paths the lemmings will take, and plant a few traps here and there.
Controls for the game are given at the beginning of play, but it will probably take you several plays to get used to them and what the different traps do. The only truly useful traps in this version are the regular mines and cluster mines. The other traps are still fun to play with, but you'll do the most damage with those two.
Many of the traps didn't even make it into this version of the game, so the balance in this demo is *severely* off. The demo itself probably isn't beatable at all. ;)
That being said, below are some screenshots of the game in action, and you can download the Windows installer here. (http://www.creathcarter.com/site_media/mm_demo/setupMM.exe) (38.8MB)
Or here (http://63.247.85.218/~creathc/site_media/mm_demo/setupMM.exe) if the above link is not working.
I recommend having at the minimum a 1.5 Ghz PC with a GeForce 3 or equivalent video card.
ENJOY!!!
