About this game

A modern puzzle game inspired by Lemmings where you guide pioneers through dangerous underground caverns using strategic ability assignments.

Your pioneers walk automatically toward the exit, but perilous obstacles block their path. Click on individual pioneers to assign crucial abilities: make them dig through the ground, drill through walls, build bridges and ramps over gaps, float safely down cliffs, or sacrifice themselves to clear the way for others. Each level presents a unique puzzle, many with multiple solutions.

Key Features:

  • 50+ puzzle levels with increasing difficulty

  • 7 pioneer abilities to surmount any challenge

  • 3 themed environments with unique hazards and mechanics

  • Multiple solutions per level encourage creative problem solving

  • Destructible terrain

  • Steam achievements and cloud saves

Perfect for fans of classic puzzle games, and anyone who enjoys methodical problem solving under time pressure. Whether you aim to save every pioneer or accept calculated losses, each level offers rewarding moments of tactical brilliance.
