Description

Pakoon III: First Blood is a freeware puzzle game similar to Lemmings and other games, where the main objective is to clear a path for a flock of chicks to exit each level and escape a slaughterhouse. The player has a limited amount of bombs available, and has to carefully use them to destroy crates and other obstacles blocking the way to the exit holes.

The explosions also push away any nearby crate or other movable object, creating a momentum that has to be exploited in some of the puzzles to solve them. Later levels have special features, like indestructible steel boxes and balls, that have to be negotiated to finish the level.

Trivia

The levels are stored as simple text files, making it possible to create new puzzles with basic text editing tools like Microsoft Windows' notepad. The first level, for example, is constructed like this:

SSSSSSS.S S.......S S.SSSSSSS S.......S SSSSSSS.S S.......S SSSS.SSSS S..XX...S S.SSSSS.S 1

Where "S" is a steel tile, "." is an empty space, "X" is a crate and "1" is the number of bombs available.
