One of the best Lemmings clones I have ever played and certainly the funniest, Shoujo Attack! is a great Lemmings clone that manages to parody Japanese anime/manga culture in the process :) Your job: guide little "shoujo" ('girls' in Japanese) from the entrance to the exit in each level.

Instead of using typical Lemmings skills, you will assign various 'tasks' to the shoujos. These tasks are all based on features found in anime/manga titles, and are all very funny. For example, instead of pickaxe-carrying lemmings, you have Samurai shoujos, Cat shoujos, Fighter shoujos, and Mecha Pilot shoujos who can cut, claw, and blast their way through obstacles – and that's just for starters. Instead of diggers, here you use Demon shoujos to blast holes into the earth. To create bridges and platforms, you can use Chef shoujos, Artist shoujos, and Flower shoujos who make bridges out of long noodles, paint, and flower seeds respectively. In some levels you can also give special skills to the shoujos such as Ninja, Android, and Airhead. These skills are not for one-time use like tasks, but permanent for that level (unless you give them a new task or skill).

Level designs are good throughout, although much more forgiving than the hardest levels in Lemmings. There are no hunt-the-pixel headaches here: as one of the tutorial levels points out, if you are frustrated with trying to use a task at a very precise spot, it means there is a better way of beating the level. I have only one quibble with the game: it plays too fast on my computer – there is an option to speed up the game, but not slow it down. Fortunately, the pause button helps a lot. Shoujo Attack! may not be as creative or original as Lemmings, but the very funny tasks and decent level designs make the game a really clever parody that is also addictive to boot. Two thumbs up!
