Finally, after years of hard work, we are pleased to announce that Clones will be made available to the public on Friday Nov. 19th! Barring any catastrophic last minute implosions, of course

We will be launching on Steam, D2D, and our own website to start. All versions will contain the same content: over 150 singleplayer puzzles and over 50 multiplayer levels. The Steam version will have 64 achievements, leaderboards for each puzzle, and cloud support for your game profile.

Thanks to all the beta testers that helped us to round out the corners of the game. Your input was very valuable to us.

I'm really looking forward to this one. The multiplayer mode in the SNES port of Lemmings was a blast.

Looks really great. As long as it's not too expensive on steam I'll bite.

Looks way too tedious for me to ever be good at it... Like SC2.

Awesome, the world needs more Lemmings clones. The trailer reminds me more of Lemmings Chronicles (aka All New World of Lemmings if you're in Europe) than classic Lemmings, though.

Looks way too tedious for me to ever be good at it... Like SC2.

Multiplayer Lemmings (and Clones by extension) tends to be a manic mix of cooperation and sabotage. So it's more like Transformice than SC2.

Effin' brilliant little game, this. Once the hotkeys are down, you really do have a ton of control and options. Hope people are taking note!

Good work, Sapient. Bringing light to the depths I thought GAF already strode about in. Alas, like Frozen Synapse, few seem to know which bandwagon to leap aboard!

Clones just got released today:

Hey everyone! Thanks for all your patience over that last few years as we worked hard to create this game. We were supposed to release the game at the end of 2008, but we didn't want to rush it, so we kept working at it to create it based on our real vision of what we wanted the game to be.

The game is now available on Steam and Direct2Drive for a sale price of $8.99! This limited time offer is good until Nov. 26th. We promise you that the game will not disappoint! For under $10, you can't go wrong. You will be introduced to a very unique multiplayer game that will bring you many hours of exhilarating fun!
