You control the fate of Lemmings, cute little creatures who will willingly fall off cliffs or jump into spinning blades – unless you are able to stop them, that is.

Your task is to rescue the Lemmings across 120 levels of fast-paced puzzling. These creatures simply walk blindly through the world in the hope of reaching safety at the end of the level – unfortunately these levels include steep drops, gaps in the ground, barriers and rivers amongst other hazards.

You are in control not of any individual Lemming, but of a cross-hair, which can be moved over any of the Lemmings. Along the bottom are a selection of functions which can be assigned to a Lemming, including climbing, floating and bashing. You must click to select the appropriate function, then click on the Lemming to activate it. Each level has a different range of skills on offer, a different amount of Lemmings, and a different percentage target in order to progress.

Lemmings features:

• 6 difficulty levels with 30 levels each, 2 difficulties exclusive
• 8 different abilities to give your Lemmings
• Multiple ways to do some of the levels, some of the levels are repeated with different amounts of certain abilities
• A 2 player mode where you must get your Lemmings to your exit, and your opponent's if you can manage it

Lemmings in this game are mindless creatures that just carry on walking until told otherwise, even if it means they fall to their deaths or meet a grizzly end! Your challenge is to guide the Lemmings to a marked exit by building bridges, climbing walls, mining through rock, even blowing Lemmings up and more besides. One of the those simple but very addicting games.

The game is viewed from a side-on perspective. You need to move your cursor over the ability you want to give your Lemmings, select it and then move the cursor over the Lemming you want to have that ability and click on them. Some materials such as metal can't be dug or bashed through and some have arrows pointing in a certain direction meaning you can only bash through it in one way, often the opposite way to the way you want to go.
