Lemmings, for those of you who missed out on it's initial wave of popularity. was a huge puzzle game released back in 1991 on basically everything available back then. It spent several years getting a series of sequels and spin-offs. Until Sony bought the publisher, Psygnosis, in 1993, and once the Playstation began to hit it's stride, the franchise would gradually be pushed on the wayside. With new releases trickling down to pretty much once per Sony Console. (The most recent installment prior to this new mobile game, "Lemmings Touch", was released on the Vita back in 2014. Itself being released after a 8 year gap from the last trio of Lemmings games on PS3/PSP/PS2.)
The concept is something that would worked perfectly as a mobile game back when they getting off the ground, but Sony never tried it....
until now.
Thanks to the efforts of Sad Puppy Limited, we finally have a proper Lemmings game on iPhone and Android. It's free to play, and uses an energy system that may or may not prove to be a pain to deal with (I've only played a bit of it so far). But still, it's something that should have existed years ago.
