Lemmings Paintball is an action video game from the Lemmings franchise made by Visual Sciences and published by Psygnosis in 1996.
Lemmings Paintball was known as Lemmings Play Paintball during development.[citation needed]
Unlike most of the Lemmings games, Paintball is not a side-scrolling puzzle game where lemmings are constantly on the move and need giving commands to control; instead, the gameplay is an isometric tactical shooter where lemmings are controlled directly and do not move unless told to. While the main objective is still to get to an exit in the level (this time marked by a flag), the core of the gameplay consists of splattering enemy lemmings with a paintball gun. Levels may involve up to four player-controlled lemmings; if there are four flags on the level, all four lemmings must survive to reach a flag each. The levels contain various puzzles including moving platforms, lemming catapults, trampolines, and switches and keys that open gates; ammo is limited and can be restocked by picking up paint blobs.
