Tough 11 resolved. My solution looks less backroutish but it probably still is just slightly ???

Et voila. You'll have to let me know if it's still a backroute ;) Don't worry about it though, it's pretty normal for levels to have several revisions in my experience. I guess a lot of this can be caught in pre-release testing.

Here are my solutions!  :)

A really good first pack!

Although I must say you do enjoy torturing your friends for sure!  :devil:

This is not a pack I would advise beginners to start with! Especially the last rank is quite tough.

I would say it is "Medium" to even "Medium-Hard" as a few levels were quite the difficulty spikes!

My favorites were "Medium 26", Medium 27", Medium 29", "Tough 18", "Tough 9" and "Tough 3". These I really liked and "Tough 3" being the hardest level of the pack for me!  :thumbsup:

"Tough 19" is on the verge of greatness but some things were a bit fiddly, the timer is not needed in my opinion and the level looks a bit messy.

There are a few levels I don't like and the prime example is "Tough 30" - It just feels like a few levels duct-taped together and quite a lot of the things I already saw before and it felt a bit like a chore.
Yeah, that should be the theme of the level, but it's just really exhausting and not that interesting
I enjoy seing different, new and interesting things and not just the difficulty coming from more and more stuff being tagged on.

A few unnecesary timers here and there, but that's a minor thing.

I still really enjoyed the pack!  :thumbsup:

Hey, thanks for playing, and GG! Well played. I'm glad you enjoyed for the most part and I apologise of any of the levels weren't your cup of tea so to speak. My intent originally was for beginners to play through the Easy and Medium ranks with Medium to be a real sense of accomplishment, I think Medium 29 is quite the difficulty spike and I wanted players to feel the same way I did when I eventually beat "Postcard from Lemmingland" for the first time after weeks of trying when I was younger haha. I have chopped and changed this pack many times from the first version I uploaded, and I think there is still room for improvement. My friends who I introduced Lemmings with the first rendition of this pack to really liked to highlight they believed this to be one of the easier puzzle games out there and that "it can't be that hard" , so I deliberately made the tough rank challenging. But as time went on and so many kind souls from this community played through it, I wanted to make it so as it was a challenge for them too.

Thank you for sharing which your favourites were and the critique on Tough 30, it has been noted and taken well as I think it's fair. I'm trying to take as much info as possible as when I get some extra time I pplan on continuing with the second pack I wish to release.

I'm intrigued by your take on Tough 19... Tough 19 is actually my 2nd favourite and I would like to know your input on what you think could be done to make it "greatness".

Thank you again.
