Lemmings CSS Animation

More from markblah.github.io →

An interactive web playground where Lemmings-style pixel walkers roam page elements like stairs, platforms, cards and text lines, and can be dragged, thrown, or launched by resizing.

What HN thinks

Oh nooooo — a whole thread of grown adults dizzy with Amiga nostalgia and dragging sprites around a webpage.

Pure nostalgia and delight
Most commenters loved it, sharing memories of playing Lemmings on the Amiga or DOS with family and enjoying picking up and bouncing the lemmings.
Fun but not real Lemmings
Some note it lacks digging, building and exploding, and that it uses JS, plus a gripe that CSS has grown far beyond styling.
Bug reports and tweaks
Users reported mobile zoom issues, lemmings falling past the scenery, Safari scroll problems and browser performance differences, with suggested fixes.

Consensus: Nearly everyone found it charming and nostalgic, while a few noted it is more a tribute than a playable Lemmings.
