Lemmings Revolution is a puzzle game released in 2000. As in previous games in the Lemmings series, the goal of the game is to help lemmings get to the exit by providing them with specific skills. Each level is located on a rotating cylinder, therefore, despite the fact that the game is displayed in 3D , it is more like a 2D game.

Story
The Lemmings Revolution storyline revolves around ferrets who once entertained themselves by watching the old adventures of lemmings. Desiring more, they captured lemmings and created new puzzles so that they could watch lemmings.
Gameplay
The main new element in this game is the level design change. All levels now consist of cylindrical columns, forcing lemmings to walk in large circles on the outermost area. This essentially creates 2D levels that simply streamline the cylinder from one side to the other. Levels no longer have an end to the left or right, which gives lemmings the opportunity to return to a place without tracking their route in a collision with an obstacle. This whole concept was first shown in the 8-bit Nebulus game, one of the most famous games for the Commodore 64 platform and other modern computers.
Levels are viewed from one point from which the player can rotate the level on his axis in any direction. This is similar to simply scrolling left or right from previous games in the series. Zooming in and out is also possible in one step. In the enlarged mode, you can move the camera at a fixed angle. All of the original eight skills from Lemmings are returned in this game with the same use. Also returning from previous games is the fast forward button and the “nuke all” option. The level structure has also changed significantly. Once the level is completed, two more levels will become available, each of which is a little more difficult than the previous one. This creates a hierarchical triangular structure, allowing you to get more and more levels as you progress through the game. Thus, you can play the last column of levels, skipping some others. There are 102 levels in the game.
