Lemmings for the Sega Game Gear is a 1991 puzzle game where players guide a group of small creatures, called lemmings, safely through hazardous environments. The main objective is to assign specific skills to individual lemmings, such as digging, building, or climbing, to navigate obstacles and ensure as many lemmings as possible reach the exit.
The game features a strategic pace, requiring thoughtful planning and timely execution rather than fast reflexes. Its unique mechanic lies in managing various lemming abilities simultaneously to solve complex levels. Each skill must be used wisely, as lemmings constantly move forward and cannot be directly controlled.
Lemmings on the Sega Game Gear stands out with its unusual idea of controlling multiple characters indirectly to complete each stage. This distinctive gameplay, combined with its puzzle-driven format, makes it a notable example of early handheld puzzle games.
