I have not played this yet (stupid work proxy blocks it, either that or it's just slashdotted all to hell) but it looks awesome.

Pretty addictive. My main complaint is that being shaman is cyclical and some maps basically don't require one at all.

You and the rest of the internet. I posted about this in the "What are you playing?" thread yesterday. It's pretty quick to load in the off-hours, but everywhere from European primetime on through American primetime, well, good luck loading.

Absolutely beautiful browser game; it's simple, fun and a cauldron for internet antics. Exactly the way I like wasting my lunch hour.

This is truly awesome. Played it for a couple of hours last night, and I most say, its some of the cheapest best fun I have had in a while.

We could make a F13 room in there too

This, to me, is where the game will shine.  It gets old pugging it up even with regulars... although in a way, you get more comedic value from watching a swath of strangers and newbs.

My other complaint is that sometimes it feels like you dont have enough time to pass a level, so there's little to no reason to get creative with shaman engineering, hence a lot of constructors arent used and much of the time people just rush to their deaths.

Update on their blog, they've said they added more server capacity so things should move a bit quicker now.
I love seeing these little games blow up in popularity like this.  Especially when they're as original as this is.  Kudos to the Frenchies.

Now, let's see more games like this in the future...  maybe with bees, ants, tea-baggers, or bunnies or such.

Yeah, apparently a large percentage of the human race are truly lemmings in disguise.

Is this the same group of people that made Dofus, or is it someone just ripping off the art style on the web page?

Someone give me a clue as to how to create the bridges, rather than just boards that fall into the chasm?  Every time I'm shaman I end up killing all the mice with bowling balls instead.

Why don't you try our other games?

 awesome, for real

Do "/room somerandomname" to start your own room and practice putzing around as shaman.  Hit Help to learn about the all-important anchor hotkeys.

Ah, thanks.  I was slowly figuring it out, but it goes a lot faster when you're shaman every round and no other shaman is instakilling you.

There are also quite a few levels where you've got be quick as a shaman because of all the lemmings mice.

Latest update included a map creator.  I have not played it yet, but player-made maps are part of the standard rotation, with a voting system to determine whether they should be kept or not.  The voting system seems to work; most of the player maps I've seen are pretty decent, and some are downright clever.

Okay, the map editor is way too much fun.  I've uploaded my first map as @82120.  

Screenshot (try to guess how it's supposed to work!):

Just in case it gets downvoted and deleted, here's the code:

I look forward to voting no on your map as I do on every map (jk).

I'm guessing that youre supposed to get the balls on the wheel thing on the left, so that they knock down the red plank, which will alow the mice to jump up on the one on the right? In that case couldn't you just spirit the red plank straight away?

Yeah, you can cheat by spiriting the plank, but I'm hoping most shams don't think of that.  There's also a failsafe; the balls at the top will verrry slowly roll to the left and start falling around the 1:20 mark, so if the shaman isn't filling the chute with balls like he's supposed to, the mice should still be free by around 1:00.

(edit) Boo, deleted already.  50 cheese down the drain.  tongue  I wish there was a way to try your map with more than one person, I never even got to see it in action with other players.
