Interesting, and perhaps not surprising considering that Team17 was tasked with the PSP and PS3 Lemmings titles! Indeed, the game looks strongly reminiscent of those, which is no bad thing.

I like the idea of spinning this off from Worms, too.

Harsh to judge the game without playing it, but this is what I gathered from the video (in Lemmings Level Review format for no particular reason :P):



GOOD: I like the mass assignment of skills (everyone under the cursor gets assigned). Could be useful in Lix. The "formations" are a novel idea - it looks like it places a group of cubers (using the Lix terminology) that you can free later using another skill.

Also SUPER SHEEEP! :D


OKAY: I know the gore will appeal to some people, but it doesn't do it for me.


BAAA-D (pun intended): Background looks like foreground in some places (like in Lemmings Chronicles, but worse because it's animated). The moving parts mean you can't judge the level by looking; you have to get on the moving platform to find out what triggers it and where it goes. I groaned audibly when they showed the teleporter, and even louder for the gravity flipper. Time limits exist, which probably means there are harmful ones down the line.

So Flockers has been out since September, has anyone tried it? It really does look beautiful, but I wonder if it's worth the price...

I haven't, I must admit. Whilst I'm happy to see that they do support my chosen OS, the requirement for 8GB of space and the use of Steam are both a no-go for me.

I found this game whilst looking at a video games shop and I thought I'd just post here to see if anyone has tried it. AFAIK, It's a A to B puzzle similar to Lemmings, and you guide the sheep through deadly obstacles inside a factory. The obstacles here are much more dangerous than that of Lemmings. There are 60 levels (with another 6 bonus levels), and many ways to customise your sheep. I heard that the PC version comes with a level editor.

So yeah. Anyone tried this game? And if so, is it worth buying?

There was some brief discussion in this thread. I haven't tried it myself but it looks a bit too chaotic for me. Flashy, moving parts like that bedazzle and confuse me.

Whoops! I didn't notice that someone else posted the same thing. Maybe I can't see threads that start with a lower-case letter? Oh well. I'll close this then.
