Great Lemmings clone – Caveman Review

This is a near-perfect copy of the old Lemmings game that I used to play on my SNES years and years ago, but with cavemen instead of lemmings. The eight skills (builder, digger, etc.) are all exactly the same, and indeed the levels themselves are the same, except there are no traps or one-way walls. The addition of the "tag" button, which was not present in Lemmings, is very helpful when you need to single out one caveman from a group. One thing missing is the radar screen; I guess they figured the screen was crowded enough already. Also, there should be a counter that shows how many cavemen are presently on the screen, not just a counter that shows how many have appeared, and there needs to be a "Yipe!" or similar sound when a caveman drops off the bottom of the screen to his death. Developer, please add these features. If you ever enjoyed Lemmings, you'll enjoy this game. I have not experienced any of the problems mentioned by the order reviewers, so apparently those bugs have been fixed. UPDATE: a bug in the game will not let you save your place after level 89! This is extremely annoying. Even if you make it through, say, level 100, the next time you play it makes you start back at level 89. This RUINS an otherwise very enjoyable game, and it does not appear that anyone is ever going to update the game at this point.
