Dirt Tribe: A Review

The Dirt Tribe has a frankly ambiguous and undeserved name! Just because the rodents of this tribe live in caves doesn't mean they live in filth!

The lemmings of this clan also enjoy strolls through the meadows, lakes, beaches, and cliffs near the caves where they usually stay. They are formidable dowsers, first-rate paleontologists, and expert hunters of wild animals, especially bears: that explains why there are occasionally bear traps around the places they visit. The problem is that they are usually so absentminded and forgetful that they end up falling into their own snares!

These natural-born speleologists also have other hobbies, such as metrology. They love the Metric System! But you'd better help them get out of their cavern before they try to figure out their total weight with the help of their giant 10-ton scale!

Nice to see this getting started. I voted for:

Spoiler
Watch out, there's traps about -- a memorable level with the difficulty of getting down from the start, plus a nice showcase of the Dirt style's traps

Upsidedown World -- very memorable design, tricky solution, and an interesting challenge to save 100%

Steel Works -- extremely daunting at first, especially since it was unlocked from the beginning and gave you an early taste of how much more complicated the levels would get later

One way or another -- nice gimmick with the choice of route, either choice presenting an interesting challenge

The Far Side -- excellent concept of getting all the way around, and the tight skillset made it tricky

And then there were four -- very cool multi-tasking level where some of the groups can help each other

The Steel Mines of Kessel -- unique level where you have to be efficient to carve a route with bombers

Rendezvous at the Mountain -- visually impressive, nice concept of coming together at the very end, and how can I not love the level that helped me discover this community?

Konnichiwa Lemming-san -- a nice early taste of the kind of level Genesis Lemmings is best known for, puzzles where you have to get the most out of a small number of skills

Temporary peace -- neat misdirection level that might help new players get used to the concept of a backroute and help them start looking out for them in other levels
