The object of the game is to guide the lemmings which appear at the start of each level to the exit door, although this is not always easy, as I am a real sadistic b**t*rd and have put all sorts of traps in their way which tend to be slightly fatal for the lemings. In order to guide the lemings past such immense dangers you may ask a leming to perform a particular task (these are outlined below). To select a task click on its icon so that the bar below it lights up, then move the pointer into the playing area and click on the leming that you wish to perform the task (the nearest leming to the pointer is always selected and it has a purple arrow above its head). There are seven tasks that the lemings are capable of performing : parachute, bash, stop, dig, explode, climb and bridge, the eighth icon (nuke) when double clicked on will destroy all the lemings which remain on the screen.
Parachutists : Parachutists do not die when they drop a long distance onto the ground.
Bashers : These bash horizontal tunnels through rock.
Stoppers : These will stop all the other lemings from going past them.
Diggers : Diggers dig vertical shafts through rock.
Exploders : Guess what, yes your right these explode, any leming can be made to explode at any time (even while performing other tasks!).
Climbers : These lemings climb up vertical walls.
Bridgers : These lemings build diagonal bridges, they will stop building after a certain amount of time, but another leming can build a second bridge on the end of the first if it is not long enough.
To gain entry to the next level you must save a certain percentage of the lemings.
You may only leave a level when all the lemings are either killed or saved. (Nuke can be used to quit a level).
White blocks with arrows on may only be bashed through in the direction indicated by the arrows.
While playing the game you will discover a variety of objects, it is worth experimenting with them.
