(5 stars) Great re-imaging of a childhood favourite - Lemmings.
LETS GO! ... OH NO! (or.. YIPEE!)
Caveman is a game where the goal is to guide Cavemen to the exit on the level.
:: GAME PLAY
Cavemen enter the level through an open hatch and walk aimlessly to their death or around in circles following the path outlined - specific skills can be assigned to Cavemen to create a new path and help guide the others to the designated exit.
The following skill sets are available:
- CLIMBER: scale those walls
- FLOATER: float down to safety
- EXPLODER: pop!
- BLOCKER: block the path
- BUILDER: build a bridge
- BASHER: bash a horizontal path
- MINER: mine a diagonal path
- DIGGER: dig a vertical path
Each level has a set of requirements to complete where a combination of skillsets may need to be used to solve the level - there is more than one solution available; how many cavemen can you save!
With four difficulty levels (easy, medium, obscure, insane) and 120 levels + hidden bonus levels - this game is guaranteed to bring you hours of enjoyment and gaming addiction!
:: OPTIONS
A number of game play options exist to customize the game play to individual preference; assignment of tools can be via clicking on the caveman, clicking on the toolbar or both. The game resumes play on touch by default but this can be disabled under the options screen.
:: SOLUTIONS
Mobile 1UP has worked very hard to ensure that all levels are solvable; a complete set of solution guides for every level are available on the Mobile 1UP website (high definition video and detailed walk throughts) - of course the challenge is being able to solve them on your own!
:: TIMEWARP
A special "unlock feature" has been provided where unlocked levels can be accessed via a special code; in addition to revealing special secrets of the game engine (easter eggs) - a complete list of the relevant unlock codes are available on the Mobile 1UP website. Some codes change on a daily basis - so be sure to visit often to find all the goodies that are available!
:: CREDITS
Caveman is a game inspired by the classic Lemmings developed by Psygnosis released for Amiga, DOS, et al in 1991. The project started as a port of the game, but due to intellectual property concerns the game was given a new set of graphics, audio and some custom levels to bring the game genre up to the standards expected by gamers in this era. The game was developed by Aaron Ardiri, the graphics provided by Tomas Miller, and the sounds were provided by Michael McGee.

Great little game

If you like lemmings or spirits(another app store gem) then you'll love this game. The gameplay is smooth, sound fx are fun, and the levels are cool & creative. Definitely worth downloading.
Awesome Lemmings derivative

This game is an old school classic with a change of scenery. Basically you solve the puzzle of how best to guide the cavemen to the exit while losing the least number of them. The levels are, I believe, the same as in the original Lemmings. The artwork and music is fresh, however, and the ability to interact with the iPad is a lot more fun than using the mouse back in the day. However, it is also more difficult to select one particular lemming, er, caveman. This is particularly frustrating on some levels where the solution is time sensitive. I can only imagine this may render more difficult levels impossible if you need 100% survival rates. Other than a few minor quibbles, this game is a great puzzler for newcomers and veterans alike.
Solid but blah
mogmios
A solid Lemmings clone but lacks personality. The graphics are well made but the colors are mute and the cavemen are depressing. Would be nice to see a little humor and warmth. Maybe some physics to give the game a little bounce. A little influence from games like World of Goo could make it awesome. And PLEASE make it a universal app.
An amazing ode to Lemmings

As a huge Lemmings fan(I played It on every platform possible), I always wanted to be able to play it on the go on my iPhone and iPad. I know the developer got into some legal issues with Sony when he was working on a port and instead he created his own version from scratch and from the look at it, it is a gret game. The game basically plays like lemmings, if you have played the game you won't be a stranger. The cavemen idea is smart since they are as stupid as lemmings(hehe) and the abilities work just the same. the controls work pretty well, you control both the mouse and the camera which seem to work great. the graphics are pretty very well illustrated and the music fits the setting very well. The game however could still use some improvement but I know that the developer listens to the customers and he is doing all he can to improve the game(not to mention he will be adding more levels with each update) Here are some of the suggestions the game could use: - Camera scrolling could be smoother - Multitasking!!! - Pinch to zoom - Smoother animations maybe? - Some kind of game center integration I think it's a great app as is and with time I think it's just gonna get better with time. Buy it!
Great game!

This is a great game! It's just like the lemmings only with dumb little cavemen to save. I highly recommend this game!
More levels needed!

Had a lot of fun playing through Medium but would like the ability to unlock the higher levels...
Horrible
Noodly Pooh
They promised updates... Nothing came of that. It has been a year since any update. Overpriced and a complete disgrace to the Lemmings!
Update?!?
Katrinabobina
Sooooo... Where are the new levels the game has promised? If you're not going to add more levels, then don't say you will. As a customer, I do not put up with liars. It's been almost a year. Get your act together.
Great throwback classic
Buzzmouse
Fantastic lemmings clone, with gameplay just like the original, a fresh look and feel, and intuitive controls. Why not 5 stars? There is a glitch where the game crashes if you use the builder cavemen off the top of the screen. Where are the hard levels?! Can't wait! ...still no more levels?!
True to the original
wkiraly
If you liked Lemmings, you will like this clone. It is very true to the original. Okay, the cavemen are just a little less cute than the original lemmings but they still explode quite satisfactorily, just in much deeper voices. If fact the gameplay is better than the original because it is properly sized for the screen and the touch interface is better than using a mouse. There are a few other minor differences like the lack of the inset window showing the whole map but the premise is the same and Lemmings/Cavemen is one of the most addictive, fun and challenging arcadish puzzle games ever.
