Boy, do I feel stupid, but since the Lemmings demo from ab20 didn't come
with any kind of documentation or explanation, I think I'm justified in
asking this silly little question:
How on earth do I get past the second level of the demo? I think I'm on
the right track by blasting a chunk out of the pillar just to the right of
the start and having one of the lemmings dig a hole all the way through, but
I can't for the life of me figure out how to get past that enormous wall.
Also, what do `floaters' do? How 'bout those `-' and `+' buttons on the left
side of the control panel?
Any suggestions welcome.

You don't need a bomber, just two climbers/floaters Also, what do `floaters' do? How 'bout those `-' and `+' buttons on the left side of the control panel? The + & - are to change the lemmings arrival rate, you can go from the level default, up to 99. A floater is a lemming with a (reusable) parachute, it can fall from any height to the ground without making ''Squich''. -- Jose Pedro T.

Couple floaters with the name of the second level ("one way <something>" as I recall) and you've got a hint as to how to solve the second level. The +,- buttons increase/decrease the rate at which the lemmings fall through the trapdoor (thus entering the scene). -- rick ----------- Rick Chestek Advanced Decision Systems 1500 Plymouth Street rick@ads.com; (415)960-7300 Mountain View, CA 94043-1230 -- Dr. R.
