Play Xmas Lemmings Online

Xmas Lemmings is a promotional demo released in 1992 for the MS-DOS platform. Developed by DMA Design Limited and published by Psygnosis Limited, it is a real-time puzzle game with a Christmas theme. The demo was created to promote the full game Oh No! More Lemmings and presents its content from a side view perspective.

In the game, the player oversees a group of Lemmings, small characters who walk continuously and will perish if they encounter hazards. The objective is to guide a required number of them safely to the level's exit. Players achieve this by assigning specific skills to individual Lemmings from a limited pool, such as the ability to block others, build stairs, or dig through terrain. The two included levels from Oh No! More Lemmings are supplemented by two exclusive stages designed around the holiday theme.

These exclusive levels feature snowy environments decorated with elements like snowmen and festive lights. The Lemmings themselves are visually altered, wearing Santa hats and coats, while the background music consists of Christmas songs. The core gameplay involves careful timing and strategic use of skills to manipulate the environment and the creatures' pathfinding, navigating the challenges presented by each puzzle layout in real time.
