The PSP version featured all 120 levels from the original game, 36 brand new levels as well as expansion pack support, and a user level editor. Every level in the game was a pre-rendered 3D landscape, although their gameplay was still 2D and remains faithful to the original game. User levels could be constructed from pre-rendered objects and distributed by uploading them to a PlayStation-specific Lemmingsonline community.[7][10]
In October 2006 the game was ported by developer Rusty Nutz for the PlayStation 2 with use of the EyeToy.[8] While being recorded by the EyeToy, players stretch and move their limbs to aid the lemmings.[8] In 2012, d3t produced a similar remake of Lemmings for the PlayStation Mobile framework for download on certified Xperia and HTC Onemobile phones, tablets made by Sony, and the PlayStation Vita handheld console.[11] The game had similar graphical improvements to the PSP title, and also incorporated touch controls.[9]
The PSP version received generally positive reviews. The PSP version holds a Metacritic score of 76/100 based on 46 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[14]
IGN gave the PSP version of the game 7.8/10, praising the graphics and the enhanced longevity given by the editor, but criticizing the unexciting sound.[10] The PS3 version received a score of 7.5/10, with the comment "It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it rolls just fine."[5]
GameSpot gave the PSP version of the game 8/10, praising the polished visuals and audio, the level designer and the online sharing feature.[7]
