Part 4

Master Lemmings Revolution! Learn about Climbers, Floaters, Bombers, Blockers, Builders, Bashers, Miners, and Diggers. Discover essential strategies for navigating levels.

This section of the guide explains the various functions your Lemmings can perform and offers useful strategies for navigating levels in Lemmings Revolution.

The Various Functions

Here is a rundown of each task your Lemmings can perform:

• CLIMBERS: Can climb walls. This ability lasts for the duration of the level.
• FLOATERS: Use umbrellas to fall long distances without harm. This is a permanent state for the Lemming.
• BOMBERS: When assigned, a Lemming has five seconds to live before exploding. Useful for destroying obstacles or other Lemmings.
• BLOCKERS: Stand in place and turn other Lemmings in the opposite direction. They can only be removed by bombing or weasels.
• BUILDERS: Create a bridge using twelve tiles in the direction they are facing. They stop building if they hit a wall or run out of tiles.
• BASHERS: Tunnel horizontally through walls using their fists. They stop if they hit open air or steel.
• MINERS: Tunnel diagonally through the ground using pick-axes. They stop when they reach the bottom or side, or if they hit steel.
• DIGGERS: Dig straight down through the ground. They stop when they reach the underside of a ledge or hit steel.

Useful Strategies

Here are some simple tricks to make the game easier:

1. Let Him Go: In early levels, allow one Lemming to go ahead while holding others back. This Lemming can then create a path for the rest.
2. Hold 'Em Back (Blockers): Use one or two blockers to prevent Lemmings from wandering into danger. This is more effective in early levels.
3. Hold 'Em Back (Diggers): If the release rate is low, dig a hole straight down to catch Lemmings, then build a stop for the digger.
4. Hold 'Em Back (Miners): A more complex method involving two miners, one going left and one right, to create a tunnel. Builders can be used to stop them if they don't hit steel.
5. Freezing Time: Press 'P' to pause the game. While paused, you can rotate the level, select tasks, and assign them to Lemmings. This is useful for precise actions, especially near the end of the game. Press 'P' again or assign a task to unpause.
6. A Closer Look: Unlike older Lemmings games, you can now easily tell which direction a Lemming is facing, making tasks like building out of pits much simpler.
