Lemmings 2: The Tribes

Lemmings 2: The Tribes – A rescue mission across 12 unique worlds.

Ready to test your logic and patience in one of the most creative and charming puzzle games ever? Lemmings 2: The Tribes builds on the classic Lemmings formula, but this time with far more variety and content than its legendary predecessor.

In this sequel, the lemmings are divided into 12 wildly different tribes—from beach-loving surfers to icy polar lemmings and sky-faring clans. Each tribe has its own unique environments, abilities, and visual style, giving the game fantastic dynamism and constantly shifting gameplay.

New abilities, new challenges

Instead of the classic eight skills from the first game, in Lemmings 2 you can access up to 60 different abilities—but each tribe only has a handful. That means you must constantly think on your feet and adapt your strategy depending on which tribe you’re guiding. Do you need a lemming to build bridges, drill into the ground, glide with a parachute, or maybe throw bombs? The options are many—and the consequences are big if you choose wrong.

Surf, blast, and strategize your way through 120 levels

The game offers 120 levels—10 for each of the 12 tribes—and the difficulty ramps up gradually. You’ll surf across water with the beach tribe, blast through ice with the polar tribe, and glide along heavenly air routes with the sky tribe. Every level demands precision, timing, and ingenuity—one wrong move can send your tiny friends to their doom.

It’s not just about reaching the exit—it’s about saving as many lemmings as possible along the way. The more you rescue, the better your overall score. Each tribe needs to be as complete as possible for the big final mission.

Charm and chaos, hand in hand

The graphics are colorful and detailed, with plenty of small animations that make the lemmings even more lovable—and their demise even more tragically comic. The music changes from tribe to tribe and perfectly supports the mood. And just like in the original, it’s hard not to get swept up when the whole crowd is heading for certain doom—unless you act fast.


If you want to relive one of the ’90s most creative and varied puzzle games, Lemmings 2: The Tribes is a must. It delivers loads of entertainment, tactical depth, and charming chaos—with hours of gameplay across its 120 levels.
