@core_reboot The starting music is the beginning of 'Also sprach Zarathustra' (1896), a symphonic poem by Richard Strauss (1864-1949), one of the last great composers of the Romantic period.

The most unique feature this game has compared to Lemmings is that the king, which is the last one to leave the portal, is the main priority. He MUST reach the exit, compared to everyone else who is a throwaway, at least on the surface. They do give some bonus points at the end if they make it to the exit too. Nice design, cool change in the formula.

@jasondeegan a dibble will NOT jump into the water if it can see the water. Dibbles will walk off ledges, and if there is water below they will float on it. But it will not, by itself, float on water once it reaches a shore. You have to tell it to OR deceive it into doing so, which can be hard to do, as level 31 will prove. You've got to fill a lake 7 tiles wide... with only 3 floats. Additionally, deceiving them typically takes 2 dibbles, one to set up the other. Using "float" just takes one.

The only level I really got muddled on was 16, 4/5 stars for this game as the only thing I didn't like was how the screen was blocked whilst I was planning what to do. In many of the levels there is more than one way to do things, you just have to be creative

Really poorly designed. What's a float, if a dibble that jumps in the water is a float without it? It just makes him sacrifice himself? Brutal. The fact that you can't look at the level to solve it, brutal. The fact that you are sometimes racing against the next dibble to happy-click to place something. Brutal. How do you copy a game and not solve these major issues?

@XG22 generally speaking, only one person is the reigning monarch. Once they die or abdicate (give up the throne, in this context it basically means they retire), their successor will be the new monarch. If the king is king AND his mother is still alive, his other parent (probably his father) was the previous monarch. The king's mother keeps her title, but she is no longer queen of the realm. In most real life cases, such a person is usually called "the queen mother" (mother of the reigning monarch) or "dowager queen" (widow of the previous monarch), to make the distinction clear.

FOR FECK'S SAKE, in a "[input device]-only" game, do not require the player to touch [other input device]! "Press space to start" is the only time I'm required to touch the keyboard in this game, and it's idiotic.

If you thing about it it's one of most brutal games on Kong. Small people sacryficing themselves without hesitation to make others reach goal.

A dibble can't fall more than 3 squares into the floor, but he can bounce and fly through the map and land on the floor undamaged.

this is ssoooooo creepy when there are dibbles on map and you pause they are looking at you like WANNA COME UNDER MY BED?
