I might have a bit of a head start there: I started remaking some levels in the Crystal style back in June. I made 13 levels then stopped.

Well, don't worry too much. That actually reminds me of something. I've already created the boiler room in the crystal style in my 8th level set. Just didn't want to add the flame that's for sure.

Actually I like this idea so much that I've recreated Tricky levels 1-19 (Except for levels 2 and 8 which were already done).

The boiler room in crystals? Now that could be cool.

Just make sure to change the level title, since as you said, it would become "cool"--literally.

Crystal is underused but difficult to make levels with. Marble is easiest to make levels with but I get bored of it after a while.

Fire and dirt for some reason. Crystal is actually my least favourite of the original tilesets.

Akseli · July 08, 2012, 09:16:40 PM

At first I voted only dirt and thought that fire, marble and crystal are equal and pillar pleases me least of these. Now I voted dirt and also crystal, which is beautiful, mysterious and a little gloomy tileset, but I've started to like it more and more now, probably due to some nice crystal style custom levels I've played.

Dirt is of course very memorable and nostalgic style because the starting levels of fun, tricky and mayhem are dirt styled and the last level of the whole game is a dirt level. I find this bumpy underground tileset laid-back and sometimes even pretty: for example I've always liked the idea and the layout of taxing level "Upsidedown World".

In addition, both crystal and dirt are the least used tilesets in original Lemmings game.

My favorite is dirt, but I like all of them. I like looking at the similarities of all the levels between DOS and the PSP version. Different graphics but the same level. This is why I have my "Custom Level Remake" topic in my bookmark. You can use all the styles in one level in the PSP editor, but I make my levels with one style. It looks better that way.

mobius · July 27, 2012, 07:06:12 PM

I voted for Crystal. Partially because I think it was so underused in the first game but I do really like the design elements. and the traps (3 of them!) (which were way underused

Next would probably be fire.

My least favorite is Rock but I don't really hate it. I love all the styles.

Prob Lem · October 06, 2012, 02:30:50 AM

As with so many others, I like all of them, really. That said, my particular favourites have to be Pillar and Fire, though Dirt is very close behind, especially where the sprawling "outdoors"-type levels that use it are concerned.

My reason for voting for Pillar and Fire, and not Dirt, is that they're two styles that I find particularly iconic with regard to Lemmings.

First bump for three years. Anyway, looks like a bunch of new users have registered on the forums, and the activity has notably grown this year, so why not present this famous poll? Looks like crystal is the most attractive set, as several people have created levels with it. Marble is edging second place over Pillar.

Sadly, I think the poll is locked. Otherwise I'd pass in a vote for crystal. I love the perfect serene beauty of this tileset that feels to me ever so slightly sinister.

namida · October 23, 2014, 09:20:25 AM

For me, it'd have to be Marble. Yes, the Crystal set is definitely more impressive visually, but functionality is important too. Marble has a great variety of pieces which make it one of the best official graphics sets for designing levels in, in my opinion. Fire is even better on the terrain side, but the object variety is a bit lacking there.

(I would pick Dirt)

The reason being is it has that forest type of feeling and from past memories we used to go for walks in the forest, maybe a bit of a connection there.
