VS Lemmings (Japan) (GBC)

In VS Lemmings for Game Boy Color, players are tasked with guiding a horde of lovable but dim-witted Lemmings through perilous levels to a safe exit. Each level presents a unique puzzle challenge, requiring strategic thinking and the clever use of special skills that can be assigned to individual Lemmings.

These skills include digging (digger), building bridges (builder), blocking (blocker), climbing (climber), and many more. The objective is to save a sufficient number of Lemmings before time runs out or they are all wiped out. Environments may feature acid, lava, chasms, and other obstacles that demand precise timing and planning.

The distinguishing feature of VS Lemmings compared to other iterations is its "VS" (Versus) mode. In this mode, two players can connect via a GBC link cable to compete head-to-head. Each player controls their own team of Lemmings and strives to guide them to safety faster than their opponent, or even employ tactics to hinder the other player. This adds a fresh layer of competition and strategy to the familiar puzzle gameplay.

The game demands quick thinking, planning abilities, and sometimes a bit of trial and error. With its characteristic GBC pixel graphics and cheerful sound design, VS Lemmings delivers an addictive and engaging puzzle experience, especially when played with friends.
