The Humans

The gameplay of The Humans has similarities with Lode Runner and Lemmings. Your mission in this action-puzzler is to help the prehistoric humans evolve by helping them discover tools, the wheel, weapons or even fire. In each level of the game, there is a specific task that you must help with, and you'll be assigned a number of characters that must complete the task. The player can switch from person to person as he/she moves the characters through each scrolling puzzle, and teamwork is essential for success. Tasks include finding objects (such as a spear) on the screen or reaching a specific goal, for which you may need objects you've discovered so far. Each level has a time limit. When the time runs out, the level can be restarted.
