R2
V2: Put a limiter on the exits so that each one can only be used by one lemming.

Got a solution for your R3 level, which again, is almost certainly a backroute, but again, I can't see another way to do it!

Last post by JawaJuice - November 26, 2025, 07:56:30 PM@kaywhyn Got a solution for your R3 level, which I'm fairly confident is intended.
The only level in the pack that has me completely stumped at the moment is Icho's R3 level.

You like your destructive skill extensions via builders don't you?

Last post by JawaJuice - November 26, 2025, 07:53:07 PMQuote from: Crane on November 26, 2025, 07:45:34 PMThe talisman solution is intended, but your previous solution was a backroute, but easily fixed by lowering the height of the terrain slightly. Obviously the regular intended solution doesn't require anywhere near as much precision, hence why the talisman is called "Now that's cheating!"
And to justify your fear, your solution to Lemming Ledger is a backroute and V2 has been released!
Yeah, thought that would be the case - the Talisman solution to Redneck Redemption 'looked right' to me, the previous one didn't. Slightly surprised Lemming Ledger is a backroute tbh, although I did think it might be due to the leftover digger. Still, I can't immediately see any other way of doing the level.

Tricky to pull that off, that, having to start digging at the right spot so that the blocker falls through the 1-pixel gap to the right rather than left after the digger releases him.
EDIT: Also got a solution for your R1 level. I always dread you telling me it's another backroute - I seem better at finding backroutes for your levels than intended solutions lolSpoiler
For the longest time, I was trying to mine down to the crowd with a climber/miner, but having used a builder to turn him around at the top, then bomb at the end of the miner tunnel but it was always one pixel too high - I'm sure you're aware of this! So I tried to find a different approach.

NeoLemmix Levels / Re: [V2] Sweet 'N' Sour Lemmin...
Last post by Flopsy - November 26, 2025, 07:30:32 PMI took the time to play this pack and recorded myself doing so. Well worth coming out of NL retirement briefly to do so I should also add 
Some very good levels in this pack, I especially enjoyed solving Sour 5 and 6.
It's only one video of about an hour long, the pack was a good length I thought.

Please make more levels TomatoWatcher, these levels were a very good taster of what you're really capable of!

A very elegantly designed puzzle with only 1 of each skill. It's probably my favourite of the pack so far
OK, I finished your R3 level as well!
That certainly took a lot of working out, but satisfying when it all clicks into place!Spoiler
The light bulb moment with this one was realizing I only needed 1 builder, not 2, to catch the floater on the far right bit of the level

You found the intended solution! I'm glad you like the level. Yeah, thinking backwards can really help sometimes.
regarding your solution to Icho's R1...

I guess you could call this a trick. Every skill behaves as it normally does but the fact that the blocker is placed right at the edge of a cliff makes the interaction interesting.

Ah yes, the infamous ultimate weapon for backrouting a level. 
It's a very powerful tool for breaking things. If I really want my level to be backroute-proof, I check whether the level can be broken if blockers are replaced with any other skill that can cancel a basher(like the walker, builder, jumper, shimmier etc...) But these days I often just live with it and move on.

Your confidence is well placed, it turns out
Spoiler
Going back to it, I had a hunch and it worked straight away; just a process of elimination really. The lemming with the big fall has to be assigned a floater and climber, the lemmings on the far left have to be blocker and digger respectively, the other lemming has no option but to build, the final lemming has to bash through the barrier to get down in time to meet the former builder, which just leaves the miner and bomber. It occurred to me there are a few seconds before an Oh Noer explodes - long enough to mine him out and get safely to the exit. Neat trick! Haven't seen it before, but it does actually make sense and can be worked out logically.
Gonna be longer 'til my next post - all of the levels from Rule 3 are currently kicking my butt!

I suspect it may be a backroute as not many creators use the basher/blocker trick as part of an intended solution in my experience! It was also incredibly tricky to pull off.
