Hothead Games unleashes Swarm in 2011
10
With Hothead Games having ceased work on Penny Arcade Adventures Episode 3 (and finishing up DeathSpank), it's ready to pursue a brand new project: Swarm, a game which stars some seemingly dull-witted blue things. The introductory trailer (which you can find beyond the break) gives us a Lemmings vibe, with just a touch of sadism.
Players must take control of 50 Swarmites, navigating them through "gauntlets of death and destruction," all in the search of precious DNA. You'll also need to ensure that at least one Swarmite survives in order to make use of that collected life goo. Look for Swarm in 2011, when it'll be available "across multiple platforms."

The theme of the game seems pretty fun I think I'm gonna give it a try...

This game actually started as a R&D project that was showcased at the TGS back in 2008

There's also an Eye Toy game with similar looking characters (sans arms), where you push them through a course to get a set number across the finish line.
