The Completion Screen is a screen that appears after a level ends in a Lemmings game. It tells the player whether the level was completed successfully or failed, and allows the player to return to the level select screen or main menu. In many games, it also allows the player to automatically go to the next level's Objective Screen, or restart the level that was just completed.
Quotes[]
In most games of the series, the Completion Screen displays a comment, based on the player's performance.
Lemmings[]
Due to variation in how many Lemmings are available to be saved or killed, levels with smaller amounts of Lemmings are not able to display every comment shown below. The same applies to levels with few or no additional Lemmings beyond how many must be saved.

"ROCK BOTTOM! I hope for your sake that you nuked that level." - when no Lemmings are saved
"Better rethink your strategy before you try this level again!" - when few Lemmings are saved

"You got pretty close that time. Now try again for that few % extra." - when number of Lemmings saved is close to requirement

Lemmings (PS3)[]
Completion Screen comments in Lemmings (PS3) are (usually) altered versions of those from Lemmings.
Regular comments[]
"ROCK BOTTOM! I hope for your sake that you quit that level."
"Better rethink your strategy before you try this level again."
"A little more practice on this level is definitely recommended."
"RIGHT ON! You can't get much closer than that. Let's try the next."
"Nice, that level seemed no problem on that attempt.. Onto the next."
"Yes! You totally stormed that level! Let's see if you can storm the next."
"SUPERB! You rescued every lemming on that level. Can you do it again?"
Tips[]
Lemmings (PS3) has a set of tip comments that are displayed on the Completion Screen when specific levels are failed, in place of the regular ones. However, these will not be displayed again once a player on the system has completed the level, even if a different profile is used or the game is deleted and then reinstalled.
Lemmings Touch[]
Unlike other games in the series, Lemmings Touch has many different comments for each amount of stars a player obtains when completing a level. Each time the Completion Screen appears, a comment is selected randomly from the appropriate set. The only exception is when the level fails due to a Mischievous Lemming reaching the Exit.
