Gameplay

Zero tutorial. You're thrown right into tough levels with a host of Lemming skills, most of which are new and seemingly useless. Diver? Archer? Kayaker?
Some helpful streamlined features such as pressing Select to fast forward rather than ramping up the drop rate. Also you can switch between jobs using R and L. However, changing jobs on the Pause screen unpauses the game so you have to choose and quickly pause a lot. Not fun.
Other changes include the pausing of the game when scrolling the screen.
Jobs differ from level to level so it's hard to tell which one is which.
Overall much less enjoyable than the previous game despite the controls be similar with even some improvements. The problem is the jobs which aren't as useful as those in the original game. Maybe it's just me but I got overwhelmed.

Level Design

These levels feel like DLC for hardcore fans of the original. I can't get past level 3. Uggh

Theme

Cute Lemmings
There's some fun levels with pop culture references like a level obviously patterned after Aliens.

Art Style

Same art style as the original. Feels a bit more Amiga-like, with busy backgrounds. Very simple.

Audio

Same silly
