Freeware release

The game's author has since re-released it as freeware, and the full, registered version can be enjoyed at GameHippo (see the links page).

Inspiration

In the documentation, the author finally arrives at a genre name for Lemmings clones:

I loved Lemmings(tm), Oh No More Lemmings and Lemmings 2 - The Tribes; and thus thought that it would be a fun programming project to venture into the field of "Interactive Rodent Simulations" (IRS). There are many flight simulators and many football simulators, but only a few rodent simulators. I felt that this is a highly neglected and important facet of computer simulation that should not be lightly touched upon. So, Psygnosis has some competition in the Interactive Rodent Simulation field, at last.
