    Love it!

    It is unfortunate that the scenery is positioned in such a way that lemmings end up falling by the side all the way to the bottom of the screen.

    Perhaps it would look better if you removed the padding from <body> and arranged the scenery a bit differently.

    I enjoy putting the lemming in the margin on the bottom of the viewport at the left or right side then scrolling down such that the lemming plummets. Then, scrolling up, I can make it bounce up as if it is on a trampoline. Very funny.

    That’s pretty sweet.

    I did something on my site recently like that where you can click a hexagon and it turns into a robot and starts SLAM mapping the page, navigating around text elements carefully.

    Were you initially surprised by how easy it was to get exact block size of individual characters and not just entire dom elements? That’s the part I thought was going to be the most difficult.

      Nice! Your site is impressive and your achievements even more so.

      the base plates lighting up showing history of where the robot travelled is a fun detail

    Cute :) It has a couple of zoom bugs on mobile, something like

    html { overflow-x: clip; touch-action: manipulation; }

    should fix them!

    Super funny idea ! But it does not follow the scroll down on Safari

    I don't know if I'm remembering this correctly but there used to be a site called html5lemmings (or something similar) where you could play a few levels of the game. This was before modern web applications and things were still mostly server side rendered with minimal javascript. The demo was quite impressive. I don't know if it's still there. Couldn't find it with a quick search.
