This is a lazy copy-and-paste effort. Solution is repetitive.

Not if you had one per skill!

Tame 20 - Custom built for Lemmings

Good: Clean design, the golden pipes through the level look good, and it forces you to use more than one type of skill (that's a first!) And, of course, there's the famous no-builders solution

Bad: Having the exit on its own little platform looks odd. A bit more decoration on the sides would be nice.

Finally, we're done with tame. Now we can start on the real levels!

Crazy 1: Quote "That's a good level"
1 | 1 | 1 | 4 | - | - | - | 1 |
50 Lemmings
Save 96% (48, if my mental math is accurate)

Good: Solution isn't obvious, and makes you think.
Bad: Well, you could say this for a lot of early Crazy. Waaaaaaaaay too hard for its position.

If you had a basher, this would be Waaaaaaaaaay too easy.

I said for its position, it's too hard. Maybe later Crazy/Early, uh, Wild or Wicked, which ever is directly after Crazy.

Proxima · September 23, 2009, 10:26:26 PM

Although the backroute makes it easy enough for its position again....

Dullstar · September 23, 2009, 10:28:03 PM

Can you upload something other than a Lemmix replay, then? Or a link to a YouTube video would be nice.

Yawg · September 23, 2009, 11:02:15 PM

Its just climb+bomb. Though to be fair, this is a technique you weren't expected to use until Mayhem in the 1st game...

Proxima · September 23, 2009, 11:54:09 PM

With the little twist that you have to block on the left first so there's time for the bomber to reach zero before he gets too high.

Crazy 2 - Dolly Dimple

http://www.lemmingsforums.com/resources/onml/crazy02.png" alt="" class="bbc_img" />

Lemmings: 80
Save: 80 (100%)
RR: 99
Time: 4 minutes
Skills: 1 climber, 10 builders, 2 diggers

Good: Simple design, tough puzzle, and a remarkable wide variety of solutions.

Bad: Far too difficultfor just the second level. (By the way, I don't think Crazy 1 is too badly misplaced myself.) And where's the decoration? Oh well, at least it doesn't have the backroute of the Genesis version...

Crazy 3 - Many lemmings make level work

http://www.lemmingsforums.com/resources/onml/crazy03.png" alt="" class="bbc_img" />

50 lemmings
Save 96% (48)
Release rate 80
4 minutes

5 bombers, 2 builders

Good: I suppose a bomber-timing level is inevitable (hey, I include them in my sets as well!) so let's get it out of the way. Excellent title, with a nice pun on a familiar proverb. Nice introduction to the device of using builders as delays (and tests your foresight in that you have to use the second builder at the bottom of the staircase).
Bad: Terrain is barren compared to the Genesis version of the level. Third brick level in a row -- a portent of the massive overuse of this style to come in future levels.

Didn't know of it, but I guess I figured it out. Is this the known-by-all solution? BTW, if there's a 100% solution with no builders, it's definitely out of my reach

Yeah, the original is a 100% solution. You're very close though
