Lemmings Tribes is a traditional Lemmings game for J2ME-enabled mobile phones. Released in 2008, it was the first Lemmings game to mention the tribes at all since The Lemmings Chronicles in 1994.
Despite being about the tribes, the game lacks any real story. Much like The Lemmings Chronicles, the game only features 3 tribes.
Classic Tribe, featuring 14 levels.
Medieval Tribe, featuring 13 levels.
Space Tribe, featuring 16 levels.
Additionally, there are 4 separate Tutorial levels that teach the player the 8 classic skills, including a playground level with infinite time and infinite skills to play around with.
Unlike its predecessor Lemmings Return, the mechanics are significantly different from the J2ME version of Lemmings. The 8 classic skills, for example, all function a bit differently from how they do in either of the former 2 games. The level structure, however, is entirely identical to Lemmings. The number of lemmings in each level does not depend on how many the player saved in the previous level; each l
Lemmings Return is a follow-up to the rather short J2ME version of Lemmings. Despite the game having a unique title, it has very few truly unique levels of its own. It was released for J2ME-enabled mobile phones in 2006.
Gameplay is almost unchanged from the J2ME version of Lemmings, with a few minor improvements.
There are 30 levels total compared to J2ME Lemmings's 28, split into the same three ranks as J2ME Lemmings (Fun, Tricky, Taxing) with 10 levels in each. In both games, the Taxing rank is locked until the player completes Tricky.
While the game has a couple unique, albeit forgettable, levels, the vast majority of its levels are either taken directly from the later ranks of Lemmings (the J2ME version only had levels from the original Fun rank) or taken from Oh No! More Lemmings but reskinned with original Lemmings tilesets, much like the Mega Drive version of the original game, with most of them here taken from the Tame rank.
Lemmings on Java Mobile (J2ME) is pretty much just a port of the original Lemmings that uses updated graphics and an upgraded soundtrack to play more comfortabely on a mobile device. Due to phone sizes the game is much more zoomed in than other releases, but otherwise plays about the same.
