Title: Thoughts on "3D lemmings"?
Post by: Erickk64 on August 16, 2026, 10:09:10 PM
I always felt like 3D lemmings was a "mixed" game between the community for some reason. similar to lemmings puzzle adventure in a way.  :shrug:

I'd say the game is decent, it does have some rough spots, like for example the controls, which can be a pain in the head, especially if your playing the PS1 version.   :P

Anc it does have some good in it, like for example the music, and some great levels that use the third dimension really well.  :D

So, whats your thoughts about it? :)

I'm quite a fan of it, but I can definitely admit it has some weaknesses.

The camera controls are the obvious one. They're not really much better on PC. The keyboard-based controls are an improvement over the mouse-based ones, but still not ideal. Lack of ability to tilt up/down is also frustrating.

The other one is that honestly, I don't feel the level design was the greatest, and especially, it rarely made full use of 3D. There are a few absolutely excellent levels in there that couldn't work in 2D (eg. Critical Path), but also so many that aren't all that interesting and/or the 3D aspect of them is limited to "assign a couple of turners" and/or "the path has turns in it, but there's no puzzle-related reason it couldn't be a straight 2D line". Think of levels like "This Is The Army" or "The Five Arches" here.

It was definitely very fun to make an original level pack for!
