Lemmings on the Game Boy, released in 1993, is a puzzle game that challenges players to guide a group of small creatures called lemmings safely through a variety of hazardous environments. The main objective is to assign specific skills to individual lemmings so they can overcome obstacles and reach the level’s exit.
The pace of the game is methodical and strategic, requiring careful planning and quick decision-making as players assign roles such as diggers, builders, and blockers. The unique mechanic involves managing the limited number of skills available per level to ensure enough lemmings survive, creating a balance between resource management and timing.
A distinctive feature of Lemmings is its unusual concept of controlling multiple characters simultaneously with simple commands, rather than direct control. This indirect guidance adds a layer of complexity and creativity to solving each puzzle, making it a notable entry in the puzzle genre on the handheld platform.
