Play the classic Lemmings puzzle game on Atari Lynx! Strategically guide adorable lemmings through perilous levels in this iconic retro adventure. Save them from hazards with clever skills.
Lemmings (USA, Europe) is a classic puzzle-strategy game originally released for the Atari Lynx handheld system. Players guide hordes of mindless, green-haired lemmings through hazardous environments by assigning specific skills to individual lemmings. The goal is to safely shepherd a required percentage of these adorable creatures to each level's exit while avoiding traps, cliffs, and environmental dangers. With its charmingly chaotic premise and increasingly complex challenges, it became renowned for blending dark humor with clever problem-solving.
• Addictive Puzzle Mechanics: Solve over 100 levels by strategically assigning skills to redirect your lemming horde
• Eight Unique Abilities: Give lemmings jobs like Blockers (stop crowds), Builders (create bridges), Bombers (clear obstacles), and Diggers (tunnel through terrain)
• Increasing Difficulty: Progress from gentle slopes to devious multi-stage obstacles requiring perfect timing
• Time Pressure: Manage lemming waves before the entrance timer expires
• Save Requirements: Rescue a minimum percentage of lemmings per level to advance
• Distinct Visual Style: Vibrant, colorful environments with hazards like lava pits and crushing traps
What happens if I fail to save enough lemmings?
You'll need to restart the level. Each stage requires rescuing a specific percentage of lemmings (e.g., 50% or 80%) to unlock the next challenge.
Can I remove a skill from a lemming?
Only the Blocker skill can be removed – assign a different skill to the blocker lemming to free them. Bombers explode permanently once assigned.
How do I handle large groups of lemmings falling?
Use Builders to create staircases mid-fall or position Umbrella-equipped lemmings to float down safely. Always prioritize redirecting the front lemmings first.
