Leave a Review Lemmings
Great game but tries too hard to get your money
I’ve played this game for a while now but it seems like every update brings nothing but new ways to try to get you to spend money. The duplicate lemmings is a joke and you would think is easily prevented. It seems like I earn more duplicate lemmings than new ones. It gives the option to watch an ad to reopen the egg, but almost every time it gives me another duplicate. Then it adds coins to the piggy bank which is just another money grab because there is a max number of coins allowed in the piggy bank, and the only way to redeem those coins is to pay real money. Again, it seems like they’ve set everything up to influence you to spend money. I’ve never spent my money on this game and don’t ever plan to despite the developer’s efforts and I’ve never had an issue beating the levels. The game would easily earn a 5 star review if they would stop implementing so many ways to try to get us to spend money. Another thing that I stopped doing was the daily spin because despite only being able to do it one time a day, you have to watch an ad to spin the wheel.Show lessCroutonCraig
Wonderful game
I love this game!!! Totally recommend! The regular levels are fun and the mayhem levels are a great challenge. The game has been updated recently to include mayhem levels on all the past seasons and new Xp upgrades which is awesome! Great problem solving game!
One suggestion to the developers: Add something for the player after they beat all the mayhem levels in a particular season. It could be anything - an animation of fireworks or a trophy or something. It is just a bit anti climatic to beat all the mayhem levels in a season (as I have done on seasons 9, 10, and 31 so far) and the only reward after all my hard work is just that the skull beside the season flips from red to green. I know anything you add is just pixels on a screen, but feeling like you are rewarded for your hard work is nice and keeps me going on really hard levelsShow lessKassy1212
I love this game…
I have been playing this game for years. I like the puzzles and seeing the new lemmings every season. The reason I’m giving it a 3 star is because if the random loss of progress on the seasonal lemmings. As of the time of this review it is season 47. I had about a quarter of the lemmings and when I was playing today I got an egg and a lemming which I had already received. Usually it tells you it’s a duplicate and asks if you want to open another one. The problem is that I already had that one and had used a ticket to play the level associated with it. So why am I seeing it again but as a new lemming and not a duplicate? The answer is because all of the ones I had previously received from eggs were now gone and I was down to one. This has happened before and it’s very annoying.
My other gripes is the piggy bank. We used to get a ton of coins and not we are only given a certain amount and the rest is behind a pay wall. Nobody likes paywalls.Show lesscnazario5
Great game screwed by uncaring devs
Only gave two stars… a great game and should have five…. But the game is riddled with errors and inconsistencies, I have just taken as a lack of giving a crap from the developers. Timing is extremely important in this game – that said… errors constantly that delay the lemming and screw your timing. They get stuck on stairs…. Just stop moving for seconds – resulting in squish or laser burn. Sometimes the blocks that have the little bit of corner missing at the bottom – sometimes your lemming will slip through that little corner when you put stairs up to it – they fall through and die – because of that little corner that has “Special” Graphics. The stopping in middle of stairs to avoid falling rocks… inconsistently will squish regardless of whether lemming was coming up or down… cant trust it. All in all a great game. But these little problems pop up every other game or three – dis-heartening when you have done it correctly and the game devs screw you.Show lessRavekin
It was great until...
It's a great game and I highly recommend it, however I had spent months playing and got very far into the game only for it to crash while I was in a level. After that crash, the game would end up crashing right as I opened it so I decided to restart my phone to fix the problem and it stopped crashing upon being opened. Then I saw that it had erased months of progress and started me over from the very beginning... I was lucky that signing back in was able to get me back some of what I earned, but my coins and progress through the worlds I had up till the crash were permanently lost. I had experienced game crashes before and restarting my phone always solved the issue and I was able to pick up where I left off but this recent crash didn't make it possible.Show lessBen_Octari_Cat
Frequent crashes during incessant ads
Catch-22 You must watch ads in order to claim rewards. Catch is: the game frequently crashes after you have watched the ads. Then you don’t get the reward. Even worse, sometimes, in this latest version (season 25) the crashes result in a permanent crash loop. When you try to restart the game, it loads, and then crashes. Loads, and then crashes. Loads, and then crashes. You have to delete the app, re-download and try again. Then you have to go through the tutorial again and pray that it will restart. If not, delete and retry again. At present, I cannot even play because of the permanent crash loop. I play on an iPad Pro 12.9” device. The game itself is a great game, but there are far too many ads and glitches for it to be a 2,3,4 or 5-star game.
UPDATE: The game has become totally unenjoyable. Chronic crashes before, during and after advertisements which players are forced to watch in order to earn a reward. Approximately 75-80% of the time, the reward is lost after the advertisement crashes the game. Frequently, an ad must be viewed multiple times in order to get the measly reward. I’m deleting the game. I’ve grown tired of this major inconvenience!
I prefer games with fewer or no ads. I guess I’ll go back to playing Command And Conquer Red Alert 2 for Windows 98 on my PC. No ads, no crashes, and still a great game. If I still had my Windows 95 machine, I’d play my copy of Lemmings. Or the original Warcraft. Regards, The old gamerShow lessDavidmaxbaker123
Developer Response
Hi Davidmaxbaker123, this is terrible to hear and not the experience we want our players to have! We released an update recently, could you please update your app, restart your phone and let us know whether the app is doing better? If not, Can you please contact our support team in-game by pressing Settings > Support so our team can help you out and investigate what's happening to your game?Feels super scammy
The tribes challenge levels are the best part of this game but you can only play them if you have a “ticket”. You can only have 5 tickets max, so if you happen to have full tickets and earn a ticket from a bonus spin (or even worse, get a full ticket refill as an xp bonus), they just go away. When you run out of tickets, you can only get more by random bonus spins (and they are a rare prize) or by paying $2.99 for 5 tickets! Equivalent to 5 tries at a level. Often I die two or three times just taking in a new challenge level, let alone solving it. $2.99 for 5 attempts seems very stingy. Even if you pay the hefty subscription fee, you are still beholden to the ticket system.
Overall this is a really cute game and I’d absolutely pay a reasonable fee to access the challenge levels, but the constant mining for money from several different angles at once creates a lot of bad blood fast. No one wants to feel like a sucker for spending money on something but buying anything from this game feels like a rip off. It’s really a shame because it could be great.Show lessCJ73555
Would be great if it weren’t a cash grab
I understand that the point of an app is to make money but things are really getting out of control. The actual gameplay is great. I would love to just play the levels. I would pay a reasonable amount of money to be able to do that. But if you don’t pay money, you have to earn energy over time in order to play the levels and you can only play 2-4 levels before you need to wait for your energy to reload. If you do pay money, it’s $6 a week, $12 a month, or $48 for a year for unlimited play. There are also plenty of opportunities throughout the game for smaller purchases. That’s ridiculous. I really enjoy the game and would pay up to $40 to have the game on unlimited forever but I refuse to pay what they are asking.
So disappointing because I love the nostalgia (I played the original back in the day) and the actual levels are really fun.Show lessSjhplie
Good Game however...
This game is a lot like the original one which I love of course but there are a few issues I have with it. One being the new updated “look” of the lemmings, imo aren’t as nice as the old ones (idk why). Also the daily spin is a scam and so are the spins when you win a bonus game/lemming challenge. It’s rare that you win eggs too and when you do you’re normally stuck with a duplicate of a lemming you already have. Which can be very annoying after like the 100th time seeing the same ones over & over again. Also I have no interest in “buying” eggs with my earned coins because even THOSE are duplicates more then 80% of the time. Another thing is the amount of “energy” spent per game is only equal to about 3-4 lvls, if you’re lucky. Nevertheless I will continue to play this game along with my 5 year daughter who absolutely LOVES this game. It’s helped her with not only navigation, but also speed, critical thinking and problem solving skills all while enjoying the game along with me and the little voices at the end as they enter they’re portals are so cute! Anyways I hope that one day the developers will find a way to make the game more incentivizing for they’re non-paying app supporters! Much love to everyone on the team & I’d also like to Thank you all for keeping such an old game like this one alive & well. I appreciate your efforts!! 🙏🏼😌Show lessJezzzzzzstaxx
Great game ruined by poor interface
One of the great things about the old Lemming game was a simple yet effective user interface; the challenge was not beating the user interface, but programming the Lemmings so that enough made it to the exit. It was easy to apply capabilities to individual Lemmings, and to see how many abilities were left to apply. I found this version to have so poor an interface that it was impossible to play. An umbrella required very tricky timing. I never managed to activate a Basher to get through a wall. If I got stairs in the wrong place there was no way to have a Lemming self-destruct to eliminate the problem, and there was no way to nuke the level other than killing and restarting the game.
Suggestion: Place the icons of the available abilities near the bottom of the screen. Activate a potential ability by touching an icon which then highlights (maybe a long push for description of the ability). Then touch a Lemming to apply that ability to that Lemming and add a tiny icon above the Lemming to show the applied ability.Show lessTwizzard
