Help me remember the name of a '90s Windows "educational" computer game.

There was this cool game that I played on the computers at school in 6th grade. It was a game where you designed these little critters and put them on the screen, and could group them by pressing different buttons.

Like, say you made 13 guys with yellow skin and 8 guys with 3 eyes. You could press a button to instantly separate them, or rearrange them or whatever.

The play area took up most of the screen, but there was a bar on the right that held all your options as far as making guys.

I believe it could also simulate battle or something, as I remember there being a sort of container or something on the right holding your guys that didn't survive the last round of "battle", which wasn't really battle...or something. I'm pretty sure the little dudes never moved on their own.

You could come up with lots of crazy combinations and sort through them quickly to make diverse groups of...whatever they are, I can't remember.

Sorry I can't give more information, but I don't remember much about it other than it was a blast. I have no clue what the name was or even how to search for it on Google (I've kind of tried).

I was in 6th grade in '97-'98. Another popular game was TessleMania.

(I'm in the US)

Thanks!

Response by poster: Although that does look cool, I'm pretty sure its not what I'm looking for. That looks like a puzzle game with a goal, what I'm looking for is more a free-form created little guys and move them around, grouping them different ways. I'm sure there was no story mode.
