Lemmings is a puzzle game developed by the team at Sad Puppy in collaboration with Sony Interactive Entertainment. The title, which is an installment of the iconic series, whose roots date back to 1991, is distributed in the freemium model.

Plot

As in the previous installments, in Lemmings we take control of the eponymous title creatures. As their home planet fell victim to a tragic catastrophe, our proteges were forced to travel into space and search for a new home in the midst of countless celestial bodies.

Mechanics

In Lemmings, the action is shown from the side. During the game we lead the Lemmings through various procedurally generated locations on different planets. Among the latter we will find both Earth-like planets and places filled with fire, circular saws and other dangers; just as in the original, rescuing all of the creatures borders on miracle here. In order to make the planets fit for life, the Lemmings must work hard, digging, climbing and erecting various constructions. It is worth noting that this time the creatures were divided into tribes, each of which has a unique appearance.

In order to adapt the gameplay to the specifics of mobile devices, the developers took care of simple controls; additionally, we play with the device in a vertical position.
