The level design game!

[geoo]

Got another backroute on Pooty's solution.

Also a cheap level hopefully enforcing two separate paths this time.

I got some challenge ideas, however still have to solve them myself.
So in case my level is valid, whether I can provide a challenge or not depends on whether I'll have managed to solve one of my own challenges at the point of confirmation.

Nice! http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/thumbsup.gif" alt=":thumbsup:" title="Thumbs Up" class="smiley" /> Seems like there isn't possible backroutes in your level.

[Pooty]

I can't backroute your level, either. In case somebody else does, however.. here's fix #4.

[Clam]

haha, Clam Spammer, you turned out to be a real nightmare for me! You've found backroutes on every one of my Custom Levels, and then in this challenge http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" /> hahaha, j/k!  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/winktounge.gif" alt=";P" title="Wink-Tongue" class="smiley" />

PS: Let's see if you can backroute the 7th and last level of the pack you're reviewing http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />

I'm afraid I have bad news for you... but unfortunately I can't review it for another 8 hours unless someone else jumps in. I'll post a replay then.

And I'm yet to find a backroute to "Clonic Inferno". So only 6 out of 7 http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />


Both of the new levels seem OK to me. Hopefully we'll see a new challenge shortly http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/smiley.gif" alt=":)" title="Smiley" class="smiley" />

Ok, here's my challenge, I've sketched out the level for it, but I've yet to create it in Lemmix though.
EDIT: Level set up.

Create a 1-of-each-skill level with exactly 8 lemmings. The amount of lemmings required to be saved must be at least 3. The level must contain exactly one entrance.
Any successful solution to it must meet the following criterion: To each of the 8 lemmings, exactly 1 skill is assigned. (Bombing by using the nuke is not considered assigning a skill.)

Here's my (closest) attempt, I like your idea.

I was working on the exact same challenge before you posted that. Well, almost - my version would have had you save 7 of 8 (or more, but still losing only one) with one exit. Otherwise, identical.

Here's my attempt, I like your idea.

Unfortunately, by using the CustLemm physics, this level can be completed by assigning no skills at all.

Not that I can do any better, mind you. I can't come up with a plan on conquering this challenge. http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />

I was using Lemmix and the lemmings do splat when they hit the lower steel platform. Anyway, I'll try again (which I don't really want to do for the sake of Custlemm http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/angry.gif" alt=">" title="Angry" class="smiley" />)

Haha  http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/cool.gif" alt="8)" title="Cool" class="smiley" />

I think requiring to save at least 7 (or exactly 7, as 8 wouldn't work quite well under these circumstances http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/wink.gif" alt=";)" title="Wink" class="smiley" />) is a tad more difficult than allowing anything equal or higher than 3, as you have more lemming interaction from freeing the blocker, and then the blocker which you cannot assign a skill to anymore. My level requires to save 6 using a unique attribute for each skill to save that lemming (which the blocker would lack), though I think I might be able to adapt it to require 7.

To minimac: even with the original lemmings mechanics, your level can be backrouted using direct drop:

Err... which post are you talking about? My level or geoo's challenge?

[Pooty]

The answer is in the quote you somehow missed http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" /> (geoo's challenge).

[Clam]

This seems to have gone cold, so I'll post my level and call open floor.

I mentioned that I intended to make a level that saves 7 out of 8, but at the time geoo posted the challenge I had a level where you can save 6, and I didn't bother to change it after that (since this would have required rearranging everything).

[namida]

I dunno if this one is too complicated, but I'll throw it out there anyway...



Make a level, one entrance, one exit, must save at least 50%, time limit, release rate and other objects are at your discretion.

This level must give you one of each skill.

There must be at least 8 combinations of exactly two skills that can be used to solve the level. Between these 8 combinations, at least 6 different skills must be used.

For those who find me hard to understand, the level must have a solution for at least 8 of these skillsets:
1 Climber, 1 Floater, 0 of everything else
1 Climber, 1 Bomber, 0 of everything else
1 Climber, 1 Blocker, 0 of everything else
1 Climber, 1 Builder, 0 of everything else
1 Climber, 1 Basher, 0 of everything else
1 Climber, 1 Miner, 0 of everything else
1 Climber, 1 Digger, 0 of everything else
1 Floater, 1 Bomber, 0 of everything else
1 Floater, 1 Blocker, 0 of everything else
1 Floater, 1 Builder, 0 of everything else
1 Floater, 1 Basher, 0 of everything else
1 Floater, 1 Miner, 0 of everything else
1 Floater, 1 Digger, 0 of everything else
1 Bomber, 1 Blocker, 0 of everything else (note: using the blocker solely to time the bomber counts as skill wasting, however, it is acceptable for the blocker to provide another function and then also be the one that gets bombed)
1 Bomber, 1 Builder, 0 of everything else
1 Bomber, 1 Basher, 0 of everything else
1 Bomber, 1 Miner, 0 of everything else
1 Bomber, 1 Digger, 0 of everything else
1 Blocker, 1 Builder, 0 of everything else
1 Blocker, 1 Basher, 0 of everything else
1 Blocker, 1 Miner, 0 of everything else
1 Blocker, 1 Digger, 0 of everything else
1 Builder, 1 Basher, 0 of everything else
1 Builder, 1 Miner, 0 of everything else
1 Builder, 1 Digger, 0 of everything else
1 Basher, 1 Miner, 0 of everything else
1 Basher, 1 Digger, 0 of everything else
1 Miner, 1 Digger, 0 of everything else

Also, your 8 solutions must, combined, use at least 6 different skills. For example, the following set of possibilities would not qualify:
Climber+Floater, Climber+Bomber, Climber+Blocker, Climber+Builder, Floater+Bomber, Floater+Blocker, Floater+Builder
This is because the only skills used are Climbers, Floaters, Bombers, Blockers and Builders, which is only 5 skills. However, if there was one more solution which involved a basher, miner, or digger, it would then qualify.

Well, I guess back to the drawing board http://www.lemmingsforums.com/Smileys/lemmings/tongue.gif" alt=":P" title="Tongue" class="smiley" />, as I got a solution in which one lemming is assigned both basher and bomber:
