Microlife: The Game With Things!

Raise a herd of bizarre neon sheep things. AND BUILD A SPACESHIP!! Mean guys try to make them work in jewel mines and you need to defend them. I think it's about Marxism or something. [More incredible BBC games here.]

So I play the dictorship of the proletariat? To the gulag with you, traitor!

No gulags.

I think "home" is a euphemism for gulag here. Or possibly "health zone", I'm not sure.

Good aquarium-type game.

It's too easy and over too quickly. Only 6 levels?? Cute though.

Yup, definitely over too quickly. Also a bit too easy, the only real challenge was that my "Defenders" kept attacking my civilians, I had to segregate them.

I'll also point out that Defenders never died of old age, which contributed to the "its too easy" problem. A bit more challenge would be nice, but it was more than ok for a free flash game.

I'll give you guys something violent and hard next time, don't worry. But this was definitely cute. Insert wink and smile here.
