★★★★★ This is a wonderful reincarnation of a
90's classic.
★★★★★ 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 interaction by default but this can be disabled under the options screen. Keyboard shortcuts are also defined to
simplify the usage of the game.
:: 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.
