Charly is similar to the well known Lemmings or Pingus, but it is not a clone and is not meant to be one. I wrote Charly for my son Simon for whom Lemmings was too fast and difficult. Charly is therefore more primitive (I think well suited for children from 6 to 9) and it offers different features:
Users can design their own levels by drawing background pictures themselves
By changing the exit location the same levels can be modified
Time to play can be freely chosen
Charlies cannot die, they can fall as deep as they want and cannot leave the picture
Through a pair of beamers Charlies can be teleported - Beam me up, Charly
Stoppers can be turned to walkers again

In short: Players do not primarily have to solve tasks, but can freely steer the Charlies through the picture. The downside (not from the parent's point of view) seems to be that there are no traps, no explosions and no weapons…
