Inside Mac Games has posted a review of the puzzle game Lemure from UK publishers Virtual Programming. This update to the classic puzzler Lemmings has the player controlling a group of hapless lemurs in the hopes of getting them all safely home. Here's an excerpt from the review:

Gameplay wise, Lemure and Lemmings are almost exactly the same. They both have the same tools, plus or minus one or two, they both involve controlling the stream of small creatures towards an exit, and they both require a certain number of those creatures to survive in the journey. The concept is still just as fun after all these years.

Lemure adds a few new tools to use, though, like cement bags, rocket launchers, spinning lemmings, different angles for digging, and jumping. The levels are designed almost entirely to take advantage of the new tools, so you'll probably get used to using them in a level or two. They do spice up the old formula a little bit, although it's extremely obvious when to use them (particularly so for the cement bags).
