Quote:
New from Team17 - Flockers is a twisted blend of Lemmings' inspired gameplay and Tim Burton style macabre, all topped off with a dose of that classic Worms humour!

Held for years within the evil thrall of the Worms, the sheep are finally making a dash for freedom! Escaping the tyrannical Worms, the flock must dodge their way past all manner of lethal machinery and traps as they negotiate their path through the confinement of the Worms weapons factory and onwards to pastures green.

Flockers will be coming to PC via Steam Early Access in Q2 2014.

The most important aspect of these Lemmings-type games is the level design. Everything else is simple programming in general. What I mean is that there is no serious reason for Early Access, alpha builds etc. They need to focus on a good Level Editor for user created content.

Wish there'd be an updated PC version of actual Lemmings, but I guess Sony is keeping that fopr themselves.

There was only one real update for Worms Clan Wars which was meant to be the amazing new Worms game made just for PC.

It seems like the only time they update the game is when they make a sequel.
