Clones Reviews

This is an okay clone of Lemmings. Honestly I wasn't thrilled by it but I'm sure I'll play it to pass the time on and off. The graphics are a bit mismatched or something and I feel like I'm playing an unfinished game, but it works fine.

Clones is an amazing game, and I will explain why: [h1]The Gameplay:[/h1] Clones is a game based on the lemmings, where you can give morphs to the little clone creatures to help the other clone creatures get to the exit, the game has over 100 levels, and the game is very fun based on the first 20 levels I played. I still haven't completed the whole game, but I just had to make a review since the game is so awesome! [I will update the review once I finish the whole game] Also, there is a multiplayer mode and a level editor, both of which I haven't tried out, but if the main gameplay is anything to go on, it is going to be awesome :D [h1]The Visuals:[/h1] The Visuals are so good, each level has unique visuals, in the sense that it isn't some blocks placed, but each level has a model! and they are very pleasing to look at while experiencing the awesome gameplay. The models of the clone creatures and all of the morphs are very adorable and awesome! and the models and animations of the CloneMasters are very unique and fun! [h1]Overall:[/h1] Clones is an amazing experience, and you definitely should buy it, it has awesome gameplay, awesome visuals, and judging by the creator's comments on negative reviews, the creator is very nice as well, responding to constructive criticism very kindly, and is awesome in total. If the team behind Clones would make a new game, I would buy that game as soon as I possibly can. Overall Rating: 10/10, definitely buy it

Fun game. If you're a fan of Lemmings, at .99 cents, its a no brainer. Btw am I the only one who turns off the game music and puts on the Lemmings PC version soundtrack? :) Still like Lemmings better and would like to see that on Steam one of these days. But this suffices.

READ THE FULL REVIEW (Steam has a word limit) HERE: https://gemsimov.com/game-reviews/f/clones-%7C-a-review -- Simple review details - I rank games on an out of 10 basis, granting up to 3 points in 3 categories, as well as a last, single point from my own self, depending on my experience with it. GAMEPLAY Clones is a puzzle game so reminiscent of Lemmings, that it is almost Lemmings. In it, the Player guides creatures through levels filled with hazards and objects. The key mechanic involves morphing individual clones to perform various actions and managing their activities. The game's complexity arises from diverse terrain types, beneficial and detrimental objects, a limited number of clones, a limited number of possible morphings, and the neat inclusion of Qdots (collectibles) for added challenge. Despite its potential complexity, the game is designed for children, offering solutions within each level. Oddly enough, it also features a battle mode for competition, in which whoever gets through a level faster wins, which does not strike me as very coherent with the way a child would play a puzzle game. While Clones presents cool puzzles and a level editor, it is marred by bugs and peculiar design choices. Overall, it earns praise as a Lemmings-inspired game. 2/3 PRESENTATION Clones is a 2D side-scrolling(-ish) game with similarities to Lemmings, displaying high visual fidelity and intricate details. It is coloful and very inoffesnive, perfect for kids. It even features a number of odd choices that can only be explained as being there for children, such as completely irrelevant animations that introduce cetain entities (that have no bearing on anything) in a manner rmeiniscent of a fighting game intro. Despite its child-friendly content, the user interface appears complex and counterintuitive. The tutorial introduces concepts coherently, but lacks polish, overlooking elements like the pause button. The game's sound effects and music exhibit issues, with a peculiar imbalance in volume between ears. Despite numerous faults, Clones maintains a certain charm that slightly elevates its overall appeal. 2/3 STORY Aside fom a very loose premise, Clones has no story. 0/3 Legendary Point Does this game get the legendary point, so craved and wanted by all and none at the same time? No, Clones does not get it, no matter how funky the level editor is. 0/1 CONCLUSION 4/10. I said it would get the Lemmings score, and it did get the Lemmings score. It's an amazing game for children, and for folks who like to solve puzzles. It'd also be great for older folks, to keep their brains working and perhaps help stave off some of those terrible things that threaten mankind. I will, however, put it in the bag of mediocrity, for there is dust to be gathered. -- READ THE FULL REVIEW (Steam has a word limit) HERE: https://gemsimov.com/game-reviews/f/clones-%7C-a-review

I was expecting a crappy asset flip by the screenshots, but was pleasantly surprised that the game is a very compitent "Lemmings" clone. The interface isn't great, the voice over made me laugh, and the game overall looks very amature, but the core mechanics are definitely there. I haven't played long enough to speak about how the difficulty curves out, but it seems like it has a ton of levels, and has a branching level structure that should help if you get hopelessly stuck on a level. P.S. For those of you born after 1990, lemmings is a puzzle game where you direct helpless little creatures in order to get them home safely. Later levels became very boring because the solution was often to build a bridge over some obstacle, but overall the game was good for it's time.

I was looking hot and heavy for an original copy of Lemmings, like I owned in 1996 or so, on 1.44 mb floppy. It was a fruitless and , at one time, a virus filled endeavor through a disk image of what was supposed to be the original Lemmings install disk. Never again ! Then I found Clones. WOW ! If I were to program a Lemmings replacement, this would be it ! Amazing controls, graphics, puzzles, .... but I digress , I mean fanboy, uh humm. What I meant to say was that I like this game and think everyone should at least try it out, and become a fan as well. Thanks for letting me rant.

Its an amazing game, getting multiplayer to work can be a bit flustering though.

As a lot of people already said, this is a Lemmings clone. A VERY good Lemmings clone (maybe calling the game "Clones" was a joke in itself? I'd love the developers if that was the explanation.), which has multiplayer too, so you can virtually get an infinite bundle of enjoyment out of it. The general look of the game is a little more cold and sterile than good ol' Lemmings, but it's not that bad! Clones make it up a bit with their cuddly cuteness. If you are in search for some suicidal-critters nostalgia without having to deal with outdated graphics and outrageously low resolutions, then this game will be your cup of tea.

Well, with almost a 100 hours playing this I can say I got a very good deal for the little money I paid for the game. It was pretty entertaining for a long time. But, and that's a big BUT, you must consider that nearing the end of the game there are some very, very obscure puzzles and... yeah: zero clues. The developers kinda had their fun providing solutions for the very easy ones but nothing for the hardest, which is kinda a nonsense and the biggest flaw in my view. To make things worst, there's zero help on their website, other than cute coments, and found nothing relevant around the net. So, I must make my recommendation both negative and positive: - I recommend the game for the extensive content and the price. Is funny most of the time and the puzzles are different and mostly fair. Found no bug or crashes. - I don't recommend the game if you want to finish it or if you are an achivement collector. These developers went from making something fun to make fun of the players not providing a "veteran" challenge at the last levels but rather an "Are you bored yet?" experience. Probably that's why most positive comments come from people that had little time playing this. Otherwise I think the reviews would be much negative. A casual game can be difficult, but not boring, purposely frustating difficult. So, all things considered, I'll go for the negative.

I reccomend only if you are a die-hard Lemmings fan. IF you are new to the genre - treat yourself to something else. Clones is not bad, but it's made so tedious - simple things become stretched into hours lost doing nothing but repeatition in game. Not streamlined, not quite there, but good idea. A bit more effort and polishing and this would have been a great title.
