**The herd walks. You think.** Sprigs is a puzzle game about small creatures with big momentum. They hatch, they march, and they walk straight off cliffs unless you step in. ### What is Sprigs? Sprigs is an original lemmings-like built by hand. Every level is a single screen of terrain. Every Sprig walks on its own and turns at walls. You pick a role, tap a Sprig, and shape the path home. **The roles** Thirteen jobs to hand out. Chewers tunnel through soft ground. Spanners build staircases over gaps. Scramblers climb walls. Drifters float down long drops. Balloonists cross moats. Anchors turn the herd around. Rocketeers bore through rock. Each level is a small machine and the roles are your tools. **Everything is diggable** The terrain is real. Tunnels stay dug. Bridges stay built. Your plan leaves marks on the level, and the herd follows the marks. **Second chances built in** Made a mistake? Rewind five seconds. Need a moment? Pause and keep assigning. Want it easy? Assist mode pops lost Sprigs back out. Want it hard? Beat par with no pauses for three stars. **50 levels, hand-built and verified** Five tiers from gentle meadows to punishing caverns. Every level ships with a verified solution, so every level can be beaten. Hints included when you want them, ignored when you don't. **Features** - 50 hand-built levels across 5 tiers - 13 roles to assign - Fully destructible terrain - Rewind, pause, frame-step, and flow control - Three-star scoring with par times - Race your best run as a ghost - Shareable replay links - Assist mode for a casual run - A level editor with shareable links - Procedural soundtrack, unique per level - Works fully offline **Who is this for?** - Anyone who guided lemmings in the 90s and misses it - Puzzle players who like planning more than reflexes - Players who want a game with no ads, no accounts, and no timers - Kids and parents.
