Or, to put it more generally: corporate greed ruins everything it touches. I was a big fan of the original Lemmings games as a teenager, and installed the "free to play" app version (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sadpuppy.lemmings https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sadpuppy.l...) a while ago. It's a shadow of its former self! You have new "tribes" every month with "special" Lemmings you can collect (just one more way to try to get money out of your pocket, because you will never get the "full set" if you don't pay) and other such nonsense, but the level design barely changes (the levels of the original 1991 Amiga Lemmings game are more varied graphically than the levels in this app!) and it only has 3 (count'em!) songs which are played in the background. Sad...
- malux85 2y agoThe same thing happened with the Tetris app, it turned into a money sucking pay-to-play shill. I wish indie discovery was a bit better so it was easier to find works of passion based on love and craftsmanship rather than ranking-gamed money extractors
- rachofsunshine 2y agoThere's a port called Lemmix that is exactly what you're looking for. Has a level editor, a bunch of fanmade levels, some QOL features. Not mobile, but if what you're looking for is to get your nostalgia on...
- rob74 2y agoI don't mind that it's not mobile, unfortunately it's also Windows only. Interestingly enough, it's written in Delphi, I wonder how much effort it would be to port it to FPC/Lazarus?
- seba_dos1 2y agoI have fond memories of playing Pingus - FLOSS clone of Lemmings - on my phone in school some 15 years ago. Suffice to say there were none of the issues you mention ;)
