The Humans transports you to the dawn of civilization. Through a series of coordination-based challenges, the player must control a band of humans through ever increasing levels of difficulty and various stages of evolution. It's a dinosaur-eat-dinosaur world and The Humans' success or failure in mastering new survival tools will determine how far up the evolution scale mankind climbs. Reminiscent of Psygnosis's Lemmings, logic and coordination play a large part as you advance from screen to screen and are rewarded with a "level" code allowing re-entry to the game at the current level of progress. The game consists of eighty timed levels of play with three possible skill settings for a total of 240 challenges. Your job in this action puzzler is to help prehistoric man to evolve by helping them discover tools, the wheel, weapons, or even fire. Each level in the game will have a given task to help in this, and you are allotted a number of characters who must accomplish the task. The player can switch from person to person while moving the characters around each scrolling puzzle, and teamwork is essential to success. Tasks can include finding objects (like a spear) on the screen, or trying to reach a specific destination which may require the use of objects you have discovered so far. Each level has a time limit, when time runs out the level can be restarted. |
