And this is not easy, especially in light of the fact that there are over 150 levels in the game. There are many more tools and weapons at your disposal than in the original, and they are presented at various stages in the game. LodeRunner is a unique combination of action game and puzzle game. I liken it to the classic Lemmings, but I find it much more satisfying. In LodeRunner there is an elegant order. You have time to consider each level and the puzzle it presents.
