The idea is kind of an interesting twist on Lemmings. Unfortunately there was only one level you could fully complete, and the second one was a lot of trial and error trying to figure out what all the actions did. Could be fun if you developed it a little further.
Unix package seems contains windows executables.
It's a nice entry, although the second level should give some more instructions on what actions do. Music fits it, but don't really see the theme in it other than the elevator.
Btw, for the dev, there's a bug when removing actions that made my first action (the ^) increase instead of the action I removed.

It's a shame you didn't get to make more content in the time, would have liked to have seen more!

I like the idea, but the actions could really use tooltips. Also there is a bug: If you remove an action, you get 2 of the first instead of the one you removed.

A cool interpretation of the Lemmings formula! Sadly the second level is pretty much unplayable, but I can see a lot of potential.
the windows link ends in a 404 :( will check later

Cool concept but it could really use some time to polish it and create more content, maybe a post-compo version.
can't seem to actually place action blocks when the tutorial tells me to :(
Nice take on the theme, reminded me of Lemmings games. The interface was kind of messy, though, and it was really difficult to see what the actions were about. Keep working on this, though, this oughta be fun!

A little more intuitive interface would have served this game well! Other than that, I like the idea and there's plenty of potential for further development too.
Needs more polish, but otherwise, nice concept!

Pretty neat game. You might want to check your removing of actions. It doesn't restock the correct action.

This looks like an awesome game idea. Unfortunately I tried all permutations of the action blocks and wasn't able to pass the first pit fall in the second level. No matter which action block I placed, my minions seemed to do the same thing.
A few comments:
- The game opens in a window in which I cannot see the entire level.
- The game crashes when I switch to the first level while I'm in the second level.
- Removing action blocks of any kind increases the number of action block of the first kind in my inventory.
I hope you get around to finishing the game, it looks quite promising. By the way, the music is great too.
