That's a good observation, I think that really nails it on the head for me. The reason the game slowed to a crawl for me was because I was only able to do about one lemming at a time and hiding the lantern wasn't fast enough. As Golden Wreath already said, that would speed up the game. I think the only issue is the pacing, everything else and the mechanics were great! Wonderful visuals!

Thanks both of you! Really good feedback and I appreciate the compliments as well. Before I settled on just hiding the lantern light I thought about letting you have two that you could pick up and move around, which I think would have been the better way to go, but I had to drop that feature due to time constraints. If I ever go back and update it this is definitely a change I want to make!
