The skills

Pick a skill on the panel, then click or tap a lemming. A ring shows who took it; the line above the panel says why when nobody did.

• A fall of more than 60 pixels kills a lemming, unless it is floating.
• Water drowns, and so does falling out of the bottom of the level.
• Riveted grey steel cannot be dug, bashed, mined or blown up.
• Walkers step up anything 6 pixels or lower and turn back at anything higher, unless they climb.
• Climber, floater and bomber can be given at any time, even in mid-air. The other skills only go to a lemming on the ground, walking or working.
• The game can be paused and skills still given. The release rate sets how fast lemmings come out of the hatch.

gPu(lemmings)

A Lemmings-style game written as WebGPU compute shaders. Every lemming state (walking, falling, building, bashing, mining, digging…) is its own small GPU kernel, run only over the lemmings in that state. The terrain is a GPU bitmap that bashers, miners, diggers and bombers carve. JavaScript writes the cursor and the chosen skill, and plays the sounds.

Not affiliated with the original 1991 game. The levels, art and sounds are made for this page.
