Remember Lemmings? Good. Now imagine every one of those stupid fucking lemmings is controlled by a player.

That is Transformice.

    It is bizarre just how much the chatbox increases the quality of this game.

    This game is fantastic. Mob mentality at it's finest =)

    Note for the OP though: I doubt we'll ever get enough PA-ers in there at once to fill out a page. Two options:
    1. Cross post to SE++, I'm sure their shenanigans would nicely complement the game shenanigans.
    2. Play in the general rooms, but put a "PA_" in front of your login. That way we can still wreck havoc together.


    Very addicting, great find!

    Yeah, most of the players are from SE already. Thought there'd be G&Ters interested in this but oh well.

    Its huge over at SA to the point where the devs have even popped in their channel and thanked them.

    Thanks for the cross-post.

    This game is awesome. My wall jumping is good enough that I get the cheese about 70% of the time, so depending on the quality of the field I get to be shaman every 6-8 levels. It's so fun to have a masterful way to solve a level, and to punish bad shaman for not doing it right by pushing them off a platform with the box they shouldn't have spawned =)

    It's also fun to be a bad shaman and kill everyone in funny ways. It's also fun to make crazy contraptions too.

    That's annoying. I know they're working on the client right now, maybe that's it, or perhaps you should adjust your screen resolution or zoom.

    Other than that, you can also bring up the shaman items by using the 1-0 numerals above the keyboard. The items are different for some levels, so it'll take a few tries to find what you want.

    Right click on the window, and click on Show All. That, or Zoom in on the webpage (should be control + mousewheel on Chrome or Firefox)

    It's so bad though! Hours and hours will disappear, and it brings out the worst in everyone.

    It's gotten to the point where I can "solve" one of the puzzles in my head, so I'm content with engineering a structure until I realize that I fail at mouse-physics.

    Also, this game is less like Lemmings and more like being one of the millions of extra dudes in Dynasty Warriors.

    Can you attach ghost planks to non-ghost planks? I tried earlier and it became solid, ruining the entire level and making me wonder if I just made a mistake.

    Other thoughts for this game:

    The land war in Asia.

    Star as one of the millions of extras in a Dynasty Warriors game (where the Shaman are the heroes.)

    Sloped platform + downhill bombs = Omaha beach level.
