A saw trap is a timed trap in Lemmings: The Puzzle Adventure.

A saw trap in its inactive (L) and active (R) states
Saw traps are a commonly-occurring trap specially in lower worlds. The trap looks identical to an indestructible steel block except for a saw disk partially peaking out from its underside; occupying almost half of the tile below the block. As a timed trap, the saw disk cyclically activates every 24 seconds (approximately).
When the trap activates, sparks will start flying off the saw disk as it is spun and thrust downwards, killing any unlucky lemmings caught walking under the blade. After a few seconds, the saw disk retracts as it stops, making the bottom half of the tile once again safe for lemmings to pass through.
Properties
- Because of the circular shape of the the saw disk, it will never reach the bottom corners of the tile
- A set of stairs built in the tile directly below the trap allows lemmings to safely pass through the corners of the trap
- Any lemming that comes into contact with the saw disk, either via the balloon instruction or after being carried there by a bubble, will sometimes get instantly killed by the trap even when inactive
Variants[]
An deadlier version, the extended saw trap, replaces this trap in higher worlds.
Creatorverse notes[]
Saw traps are available to use in creatorverse for all players upon reaching planet 2: "Mushroom Wild".
- Saw traps can be hidden within destructible blocks
