45 guys is a simple little game where you control 45 little guys and you have to guide them to the end of a level that's filled with traps. Your goal is to get as many out alive as possible, the challenge being that you're using the arrow keys to control them all at once, kinda like in The Swapper. The mechanic isn't really ever explored in any sort of depth since there are only 4 levels, all of which are pretty much the same. Because of this, the game was very, very short.
My opinion: It felt to me like a gimmick based puzzle game with no puzzles. The concept was interesting but the sheer size of the horde made it difficult to do anything with any kind of finesse since it was impossible not to split the clones up and controlling one group was likely to kill a few clones in another group. Still, it was fairly easy to complete and short enough that the gimmick remained novel until the end.
45 Guys 1 Brain was made by Gib. Gib's homepage no longer exists, but the game can still be played here.
