Those darn lemmings are still trying to kill themselves en masse, so it’s up to you to stop them. This is accomplished by assigning specific tasks to different lemmings, such as blocker, to prevent lemmings from going beyond that point, turners, etc. As the game is extremely challenging, you’re given the chance to practice each of the tasks before you proceed to the next wave, “Fun.”
The graphics are nice enough, with the simple, colorful backgrounds and detailed structures, but compared to something like Jumping Flash! it looks a little barren. The control is easy to use, just point the cursor and assign tasks. The focus here is on strategy and gameplay, and Lemmings 3D certainly delivers.
