Glad to hear it!   Hope you enjoy working your way through them.
The level design leans heavily on the NES version, so if that's one of the Lemmings ports you're less familiar with, there should definitely be quite a few surprises in there.
Let me know how you get on! 

Thanks so much for the kind words! Really fun to read your comments and see what stood out to you
As for the player 2 controls: those are basically the built-in PICO-8 keyboard controls itself, so there isn't any extra meaning behind them in this case.

I've put a full longplay of my PICO-8 version of Lemmings online, showing all 100 levels and their solutions.
I'd still encourage everyone to try figuring the levels out themselves first, or just move on to another level and come back later if you get stuck. But since I've had quite a few questions from people who got stuck, or even wondered whether certain levels were possible, I thought it would be useful to have a complete longplay available.


Have fun, and good luck saving those lemmings!

Hi Namida,
Thanks for checking it out! I'll definitely take that as a compliment, thanks! 
The Master System version is actually the one I've played the least. What I mainly based on the NES version were the levels and the smaller sprites.
although I did end up leaning a little more towards the Amiga version with the sprites.

Here's an example of how I adjusted the climber to lean a bit more towards the Amiga version:


For the gameplay itself, I tried to stay closer to the SNES and Amiga versions.

Hi Nessy,
Thanks you much! 😊 Really glad you're enjoying it!
The NES version actually felt like a good starting point for a PICO-8 demake, since it already had to work within quite a few limitations. I did borrow a lot from the Amiga version (and SNES) though, like the improved Lemming sprites, tiles, cursor, and various other little details.
And it's really cool to hear from someone who actually played the NES version a lot and appreciates those level variations! 😄
And if you feel like leaving a little rating or review on itch, that would be hugely appreciated and really helps! 😊

*P.S. The music was done by Eric Billingsley, he's awesome! We used the SNES music as a reference, and he absolutely nailed it. 

Thanks so much!    Really appreciate the kind words, and I'm glad you enjoyed it! I had a lot of fun making it, so it's really great to see people enjoying it too. Thanks for checking it out! 

What I naively started over a year ago is finally finished. 
I just released my PICO-8 demake of Lemmings, recreating all 100 levels from the NES version!
A huge thanks to Eric Billingsley for the amazing soundtrack, and to MissMouse for the incredible CANVAS and PAKRAT libraries that made this project possible.
You can play it directly in your browser or download it from itch-io Pico-8 Lemmings.
or check it out on the Pico-8 Lexaloffle BBS Pico-8 Lemmings.

Hope you enjoy it! Would love to hear what you think!
