Lemming Drops is the thirteenth level of the Tricky difficulty in Lemmings.

Strategy[]

The first Lemming builds towards the steel wall to the right of the exit to seal the gap. Some Lemmings may fall in the water but the release rate is low and you are allowed some casualties. Once the gap is sealed, place a Blocker to the left of the platform to completely stop any Lemmings from falling in the water.

Send an Athlete over the metal wall. Once it lands on the steel pillar, have it build immediately towards the next steel wall so that it turns around. Then have it build again towards the steel platform where all the other Lemmings are being held until it turns around again. In the meantime, send a second Athlete all the way to the gap separating the wooden platform from the exit and have it build one bridge to reach the exit.

The first Athlete must now build stairs in a zigzag until it is possible for non-Climbers to reach the small wooden ledge. Shortly before it finishes working, raise the release rate to 99 and use a Miner or Digger to break through the bridge holding the other Lemmings back.
