Lemmings Forums

1 02: If my solution is intended then this level can throw you off big time with trying to go another route. I found it quite difficult to the other levels around it's place.
1 08: A bit too much Walker assignments for my taste. Maybe consider lowering the RR.
1 11: Not a hidden trap fan and the clear physics mode makes this level kinda pointless.
1 12: That was quite a taskt! Consider moving this up a bit. Good level otherwise :thumbsup:
2 02: Stacking up only 1 time would have mage the trick as well. 2 times was a bit streched out for my taste.
2 03: Ok, here I must say assigning all the gliders manually was very annoying :devil: I would 1.) Lower the overall lemming cound and 2.) Make the hatch a glider spawning hatch in the first place as they must get assigned at the start anyways. 3.) Remove the locked RR as it draggs the level out to eternity in its current state.
2 05: Liked this one a lot :thumbsup:
2 08: Getting the terrain trick here is very hard to see ;)
2 11: Loved that one (probably my favorite)! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
2 13: This felt kinda easy.
2 14: The el dorado levels turned out to be the best ones ;)
2 15: This was also quite easy and I would also suggest to make it a bit smaller as it feels a bit too much streched out for what it contains.

1 02: Using 2 miners was indeed the correct solution. :D
1 08: Spamming walkers was the intention of that level, though it might have been a bit pointless.
1 11: Heh, yup. :P
2 02: It seems that you used a funky backroute. The "intended" solution was to make a horizontal bridge with the stackers, but making stairs seems to work too.
2 03: After watching your replay I'm starting to understand why the locked RR is a drag. ;) I'll remember that!
2 05: Another funky backroute. :P How did I never consider stopping the stacker with a walker to create a pillar that the Lemmings can still walk over?
2 08: Sneaky ;)
2 11: Backroute-ish, but the essential idea was there. :D The floaters were supposed to be for the teleported lemmings, but it seems the drop to the bridge wasn't actually splash-height. lol... :-[
2 13: The ultimate backroute righ there... I really need to start thinking outside the box when testing. :D
2 14: It also turned out to be my favourite tileset to work with. ;)
2 15: That's also backroute-ish, the second drop should have also been splash-height. The intended "save over 40 Lemmings" -solution was to use the first teleport to save all the lemmings. ;)

Lovely and colorful all though im not really a fan of the exit, plus the steel reminds of Lix. Nice Touch

A really appetizing set, and user friendly too, a nice selection of condiments, dairy, fruits, and everything with the kitchen sink
Plus if in case of an alien attack, I'll just throw the cheeze.......none of you would get the reference wouldn't you? :XD:

For some reason I might have an affinity for snow levels, and this set is beautiful.
My only suggestions and or complaints
-The steel blends in with the snow, Can you darken it
-Think you can add a dithering effect to the trees?

Cool set (The exit is an awesome touch) but I think it may need more colors in terms of terrain my suggestions
-Terrain pieces and Water that is biased on binary code
-Can the locked exit have more frames of animation (Like it turning on and loading the Lemmings menu)
-and last since lemmings was made in that era, how about an alternate exit that's an old CRT Monitor with the classic beige color? because I'd be down for that

Nothing much I can say about this set but...COWABUNGAH! (Now that's a reference everyone would get)
What I suggest
-Proper Pipe endings and a water crank (like a Wheel seen on pipes)
-Add a waterfall (Example, Gronk's BeastII set, there's a water object the looks like a waterfall)

Pardon my Kalos region but, Damn it I wish I could quote "The Road to El Dorado" right now
this is an absolutely Glorious tileset, though I feel more details can be added :thumbsup:
But I do know a reference I can make
-kicks doors open- "HA! BOOM BABY!"

Tender:
Tightrope Dope - didn't expect myself to get the talisman on my first try of this level! Nice builder trick to prevent splatting!
Big Apple - as Icho said, this level is WAY out of place and should be in later-Spicy. I haven't beaten this one yet.
Getting piped up - probably better in late-Tender, it took me a while to figure out the solution.
Revenge of the berg! - not sure if this is a backroute or not, I have one blocker left.
"I finally made it!" - unintended as I didn't use all the skills. Nice teleporter sound!
Lemming squared - VERY clever cloner level! Also really love the pickup skill monitors! :thumbsup:
Take a dip - while the constant walker assignment can be indeed kind of annoying (and I was worried I would end up running out of walkers), the solution is still very cool!
Fixing the leak - nice level where despite having 20 builders, you actually have to use them all!
Through the cold steel - another nice level, though as GigaLem said the steel needs to be darker.
The Lemsweeper - this one isn't a good level, as Icho said you can pretty much beat the level by Clear Physics Mode as a guide. Even without using Clear Physics, I don't see any hints that tell me what block is safe to dig through. If you ever update Raylems to remove backroutes, I would replace this level with a new one.
Curiosity killed the lemmings - whew, this one took me a while to figure out! Nice bomber trick!
Hello, Mr. Rigatoni - this one confused me at first, but I eventally figured it out. Very clever solution, especially how I used the climber at the end!
Popsiclem - backroute as I didn't use all the walkers and bombers.
Escaping reality - big backroute, I didn't use any of the cloners. LOVE the locked exit used here and the noise it makes when the exit is unlocked.

Spicy
As cold as it can get - really clever usage of the single-use trap! I didn't use all the gliders and stoners though.
A creep from the deep - I think this can work in late-Tender. I got the horizontal-stacking bridge in this solution.
When life gives you lemmings - I didn't beat this one, it was too confusing, and as Icho said the locked release rate and the many gliders didn't make this fun at all. Love the blenders, that's VERY clever!
Infinite loop - If my solution is intended, it really belongs in Tender. I got the talisman for this one as well!
Snowday in Beastland - very clever usage of the tops of the trees to solve the level!
Cage of Doom - Nice level, and love the fencer-miner used here! Might be a backroute though, I didn't use all the skills.
Stinky Sewers - likely a backroute as I didn't use the climbers and gliders.
The Deadly Circuit - nice way to end the pack! Unfortunately, I didn't get the talisman for this one.

Tender 2 (Big Apple): My solution looks very much like a backroute, but I don't see any other way to solve the level ???
Tender 4 (Revenge of the Berg): The bomber through the middle snow block has to be placed pixel-precise if I am not mistaken. And why is the RR locked? Otherwise a good level.
Tender 5 (I finally made it): Same trick as in "Big Apple" and I used only the red teleporter, not the blue one.
Tender 6 (Lemming squared): Much easier than the previous ones.
Tender 7 (Very cheesy level): Another very easy level.
Tender 8 (Take a dip): Sorry, but I have to rant about the water object here: First of all it looks very, very much like solid terrain, which was the reason I spent the first half an hour on this level. The all other water objects have a trigger area that reaches to the bottom of the object, but not this one. So I spent the next half an hour thinking no lemming may walk at the bottom platform... PS: Again a locked RR without any cause.
Tender 10 (Through the cold steel): Rather hard level which requires quite precise skill placements.
Tender 11 (Lemsweeper): I am very happy to have the clear physics mode and am even happier that one doesn't even need this :P
Tender 12 (Curiosity killed lemmings): I took the very fiddly bottom route, but saved a lot more than required.
Tender 13 (Hello, Mr Rigatoni): And why are the balloons not solid, when they look like normal terrain? Otherwise a good level.
Tender 15 (Escaping reality): Very easy level, with lots of unnecessary cloners.

Spicy 1 (As cold as it can get): Very good level, were it not for the one-trigger trap, which fits so well into the terrain that it is basically a trap hidden behind terrain. I HATE it when I skip 10 seconds and suddenly my worker lemming no longer lives for no appearant reason at all! :devil:
Spicy 2 (Creep from the deep): Many tender levels were harder than this one. And why is the RR locked, again?
Spicy 3 (When life gives you lemmings): Interesting level concept. But the fixed RR made me rage, because I had to assign the last 40 gliders without having to do anything else anymore, which was basically one minute just clicking once every second or so. So: First half was great, the second half was just boring.
Spicy 4 (Lemmings 2D): Very nice level.
Spicy 5 (12 trials): Nice level concept, but could you please color-code the rooms visited by the upper, middle and lower hatch using differently colored teleporters? Currently one never knows which hatch to work on, to pick up the next skills.
Spicy 6 (Infinite loop): Good level, but I automatically got the talisman and don't see any solution that doesn't get it. 
Spicy 9 (Piperambo): Excellent level :thumbsup:
Spicy 10 (Lemmings and Ketchup): I straight-forward built up the the exit. Very likely a backroute.
Spicy 11 (Golden Bridge): When starting with a stacker and then stretching the platformers, one can almost cover the lava pit, except for one single pixel! Very frustrating! And it's not obvious that there are 4 pick-up skills stacked over each other. And again the RR is locked. Otherwise a nice level.
Spicy 12 (Cage of Doom): I am fairly sure the intended solution is something much more elaborate.
Spicy 13 (Stinky Sewers): Another straight-forward solution. Backroute?
Spicy 14 (Return of the King): Building over the lava before the zombie-king returns is pretty fiddly, but doable. After that one still has lots of skills which makes the rest of the level trivial.
Spicy 15 (Deadly circuit): This must be a backroute, but at least I got the talisman. :P

Using a blocker to block the lemmings from going to the green teleporter in "I finally made it!" is lthe most obvious thing on earth. I can only wonder why I didn't see that... :o
Your backroute to "Curiosity killed the lemmings" is amazing, nepster! I guess addig those small decorative bricks to the bottom was a mistake! :D
The 3 talismans were mostly just for testing, so the "Infinite Loop under 2 minutes" is super easy.
In "Lemmings and Ketchup" building straight up was the intended solution, but locking the Lemmings herd with a blocker and a bomber is the backroute-y bit. :D
Locking the zombie like that in "Revenge of the king" was a clear backroute, so was the "Stinky Sewers" replay. ;P

Tender 1 - Tightrope Dope Nice level to start off the pack featuring a neat trick of stacking builders on top of one another starting on the first brick of each staircase so as to raise it high enough to make the fall non-fatal. Yes, this is more precise than it needs to be, but I can understand why it's this way, as the concept wouldn't work otherwise, so this is forgiven. At the same time, this could be a very bad thing to start off the pack for less experienced players, as they might not be able to work out how to make this kind of splatform. Meaning, this level is a bit difficult for its position despite the minimal skillset consisting nothing but the trick.

Tender 2 - Big Apple Another nice level, though probably more precise than it needs to be, especially with the second miner, which is highly dependent on where you start and stop the first miner. This is also a level where you cannot rely on the level side, as in Old Formats NL the sides are deadly. Whereas if this was for very Old Formats then it's not necessary to stop the first miner with a stacker, as the lemmings will simply hit the side safely without leaving the level and dying. Of course, the problem here is there's no indicator for any first time player that the side is deadly and the only way to know for sure is if the player read up on the physics and mechanics of Old Formats NL ahead of time, or you just try seeing what happens when a lemming reaches the side of the level. Also, not sure what the other skills like the climbers and gliders are for ???

Tender 3 - Getting piped up Ok level which can be a little challenging, especially with solving everyone before anyone gets into danger, but this won't ever be a problem as long as you make the first lemming a climber back out to the left to build to seal off the gap, though the timing is a bit tight before the first non-glider slips through to the water. Once that happens, the rest is easy.

Tender 4 - Revenge of the Berg! Nearly straightfoward level, with the only difficult part being to separate a lemming from the others by trapping him between two blockers. Also, honestly there's absolutely no reason for the RR to be locked on this level.

Tender 5 - "I finally made it!" Somewhat easy level that looks difficult because of the teleporters but fortunately all teleporters are color coded so you know where the lemmings will end up, with both blue ones going to the same receiver where the exit is. They're also fast triggering ones. Nice builderless level, which is a type of level that I tend to like a lot :)

Tender 6 - Lemming squared Nearly straightforward level as well, with the only hard part being figuring out how to get all the builder pickups in order to get a lone lemming to build the somewhat long bridge to the exit. I wonder if the title is a reference to the level pack of the same name by nin10doadict ???

Tender 7 - A very cheesy level I guess there's a kind of word play here in the title, where it could be seen as a cheap level or because of all the cheese that's in the level. Nice builders only level which still isn't a completely trivial level due to the splitters. However, I realized that I made the level a bit harder than I needed to, as it's possible to just have the lemmings drop in the first pit and build out on the far right side. At the same time, if there was a low enough time limit present, then you would just have to do it the way I did with brute force building before falling into the first pit near the start, as well as max out the RR early enough.

Tender 8 - Take a dip Nice concept of turning lemmings around with walkers as necessary until the splatform is ready. It is a bit too excessive for my liking, but that's just me personally, where I tend to not be a fan of levels that have too much repeated skill assignments of the same skill.

Tender 9 - Fixing the leak Not a very hard level, but it can still be challenging despite being a builder heavy level. Fortunately, you have more than enough builders and it's possible to have plenty remaining in the end.

Tender 10 - Through the cold steel Nice digging destructive skills only level that isn't trivial by any means, especially as the route still isn't obvious in any way. I wonder if the precision can be reduced, especially for the fencer, as it can be a quite unforgiving due to the steel placements.

Tender 11 - Lemsweeper Nice concept of figuring out where the safe places to dig are, though honestly I still don't understand the rules to Minesweeper all that well, so I'm not sure if there's any rule here that determines which places are safe to dig. Otherwise, because CPM exists in this version of NL, one could simply activate that to know right away, defeating the entire purpose of the level. Now, if it was in very Old Formats NL, then it's just all trial and error as CPM DOES NOT exist there, but again there might be a rule here that you need to figure out in order to determine which places are safe to dig, but if there is I'm not sure what it is, since I'm still not too familiar with the actual game the title is referring to.

Tender 12 - Curiosity killed the lemmings Nice challenging puzzle, though the climbing and bombing is a bit too excessive for my liking due to doing it repeatedly. I love the puzzle of figuring out how to use the right crowd to rescue the left entrance. It's not easy to figure out at all, and even once you do figure that out, then there's also the challenge of figuring out how to get them down the right side safely towards the exit. Even then, the level's placement is just right, being near the end of the rank. It might even work better as a second rank level, but then there's the problem of figuring out what level from the Spicy rank can swap with it.

Tender 13 - Hello, Mr. Rigatoni! Not sure what the reference here, though maybe it's a Finnish reference of some kind? It sounds like it might be a TV show/cartoon thing. Another nice challenging level, I especially like how the lemmings need to go up the right side and then mine/dig to get to the exit from above, though I realized later that I did a lot of unnecessary stuff when I solved it long ago. For example, it seems that I could had simply fence and then bash out. Not sure why I dug to contain the crowd when the crowd is already contained! :forehead:

Tender 14 - Popsiclem Another nice challenging level, especially with the main difficulty figuring out how to get up to the exit with just builders, blockers, and walkers. Love the zigzag building with using blockers and then releasing with walkers later to get everyone to the exit for a save all. My only critique here is that the builder placements are a bit precise and hence can be unforgiving, though it is near the end of the rank, so I guess it's justified.

Tender 15 - Escaping reality Nice level to finish off the rank. Somewhat challenging, but it's important to realize to not worry about the losses as the worker is platforming. You have more than enough cloners to make up for the losses, even with one extra to boot.

Spicy 1 - As cold as it can get This level is a bit hard to start off the rank, so maybe a bit misplaced too. I don't remember if I read up on the stoner-stacker trick before solving the level or if I was able to figure it out on my own. That certain increases the difficulty significantly. Also that one-time trap can take casual players by surprise, especially since it does look harmless and hence there's absolutely no indicator that it's a trap in any way. Even then, it's different from other traps in that it simply breaks the floor away and doesn't always mean the lemming is a goner for sure, as if there's terrain underneath where it falls apart he's still safe and could probably still be rescued later on. Nice trick of gliding over the stoner from above to isolate more workers! :thumbsup: Seems I released the crowd too early, as there's one loss here I could had avoided :forehead:

Spicy 2 - A creep from the deep Another somewhat difficult level, though I admit the concept is nice, even if it's another one of those excessive repeated skill assignments type of levels, which as you probably now know I'm not a fan of. However, I do understand why the skillset is the way it is, in order to demonstrate that stackers can be used to bridge gaps, though it's the least effective of the platformer and builder to do so. However, it doesn't have to be used at the end, it can be done on any of the other gaps too.

Spicy 3 - When life gives you lemmings... Nice challenging gliders and builders only level that requires one to be quick, as the save requirement appears lenient but the losses add up very quickly. As I mentioned earlier this is a level that has absolutely no reason for the RR to be locked. The level still is quite dragged out, especially with a very high lemming count on top of that so that even with time skips it still takes a while for the level to finish. Most importantly, this level greatly benefits from the entrance being a preassigned glider hatch so that this simply reduces the level to being a builders only level, especially if the very first gap at the start is a red herring, though it might still be possible to solve the level even if you spend a builder there. I'm not certain. Perhaps the lemming count could also be reduced, with the requirement being adjusted accordingly.

Spicy 4 - Lemmings 2D Ah, another level with the word lemmings spelled out in the terrain. Not too much different from all the other ones I've played from other level packs in that it's just simply a matter of figuring out the most efficient route so as to make the most of the skills, which isn't easy to do. I'm guessing the title is a reference to how there's a similar level in Lemmings 3D with the terrain spelling out lemmings and was made into a 2D one for NL. I didn't realize you were a huge Lemmings 3D fan, along with namida, Direkrow, and Pooty. I guess that makes sense, considering the music tracks in this pack are all Lemmings 3D.

Spicy 5 - The 12 trials Somewhat huge level that gives an intimidating appearance and can be very confusing because of the many teleporters everywhere. I guess the best way is to simply observe where the lemmings will end up each time after using one, as it can still get confusing even with CPM. Fortunately, each section is easy to figure out. I'm guessing there are ways to make it easier to get the disarmer to the trap before the others get killed by it in the top left.

Spicy 6 - Infinite loop This level I remember being a challenging one and taking me some time to figure out. Certainly the hardest part was figuring out how to get a lemming going out to the left at the bottom to help out the right bottom entrance. Looking back at my replay, there is one skill assignment I'm very confused about, which is the miner I used on the steel. I believe in New Formats NL that skill assignment is impossible, so that probably means the physics was changed between the time of Old Formats NL and NF NL. Quite a nice builderless level but a really hard one, so this might work better for closer to the end of the rank too.

Spicy 7 - Mount Hot dog Another hard level that might work better for near the end of the rank. Certainly the main challenge is figuring out how to get from the bottom to the top where the exit is, as it's not easy to given the skillset. Also combined with the very high save requirement. I also used timing with maxing out the RR to make sure everyone is safe and stacker/bomber trick to stop climbers from going out and dying to the level side.

Spicy 8 - Snowday in Beastland O.o, this level, which I definitely still remember to this day being very challenging. Clearly based on A Beast of a level from OL. Possibly the hardest level in the entire rank and maybe even the hardest of the pack. It took me a while. It's not easy figuring out the best way to efficiently get through the level. Even after ruling out going through the bottom, it's difficult realizing where to get up to go across. It's a nice level but I think this level is too hard for its position.

Spicy 9 - Piperamba On the other hand, much easier than the previous level, though can still be challenging. The only hard part is using a basher tunnel in progress to turn around to bash the crowd out. I wonder if I could had saved 1 over the requirement if I had bashed at the base of the bomber hole before bombing. I don't know if a bomber is enough to get to the exit as a result.

Spicy 10 - Lemmings and ketchup Not very hard and almost quite like a straightforward level, with maybe the hardest part with how to contain the crowd, as the blocker placement seems very critical in this level.

Spicy 11 - The Golden bridge Hard but nice level! The platforming is a bit excessive here, but I can understand why due to the title. Just curious, is there such a bridge where you're from? I'm only familiar with the one from SF (San Francisco, California), but I'm from the opposite end of the state, and if I'm not mistaken there might be one in each state/country which might not be "gold" in color but is an iconic bridge from that place. Other than getting to the pickups in the main teleporter sections in the upper middle area, another challenge is keeping the climbers safe, as you need to save everyone. The main critique here are the stacked pickup skills, as this would be considered unfair design by the NL community due to hidden info. I don't know if putting a single pickup skill with a higher quantity is possible in the old editor. I came long after New Formats has been the main staple for a long time. The solution also relies on the solid ceiling, and if converted to New Formats will require some adjustments in order to still work.

Spicy 12 - Cage of Doom Somewhat hard but a nice level. The most difficult part is getting the two bottom lemmings up to the exit.

Spicy 13 - Stinky Sewers Now back to somewhat easy, though my main critique here is that the drop near the exit is not very clear at all that it would be safe due to that raised pixel of green moss terrain. I would definitely make it clearer that the drop is safe.

Spicy 14 - Return of the king Not very hard, but the main challenge is making sure everyone is safe ahead of the zombie, as you can only lose 1. This essentially means being very quick at the start to keep ahead at all times. Once you eliminate the zombie threat, the rest is easy. Not sure what the climber is for.

Spicy 15 - The Deadly circuit For the final level of the pack, this is quite easy and can easily be swapped with one of the levels near the middle of the rank. The save requirement is quite lenient here. At the same time, I can understand if this was an intentional decision to have an easy level to finish the pack with, as the final level doesn't always have to be the hardest.
