Level records

[Proxima]

I was just wondering about which of people's designed levels hold the current records for level statistics. Here are the ones I know about; does anyone know of levels that beat these?

(And they have to be interesting levels -- it wouldn't count if someone made a level where you have to save 1 of 300 just to break the records, unless that was needed for the idea of the level to work.)

Most lemmings -- 255 on Insane Steve's "Stress Relief"

Smallest % to save -- 1 of 120 on my level "A Shock to the System"

Longest time limit -- 39:00 on Adam's "The long trek to freedom"

Longest minimum time actually required to complete level -- over 25:00 on Steaver's "Absolute Ultimate Challenge"

Shortest time limit -- 0:20 on my level "Twenty Second Teaser" and its sequel "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Lemming"

Highest release rate -- 255 on Insane Steve's "Stress Relief"

Largest area -- 1500 x 1500 on Adam's "The long trek to freedom"

Fewest total skills -- 0 on guest's "This level requires no skill"

Most entrances -- 50 on one of Adam's levels

[Adam]

Largest area -- don't know. My level "Aladdin's Cave" is pretty large, but I'm sure someone has done a larger one

Most entrances -- 50 on one of Adam's levels

Largest area - The Long Road to Freedom by Me - 1500 x 1500

That UC7 one is called "Absolute Ultimate Challenge".

You should also do one for cheapest trick.

[Proxima]

What was its time limit, though?

I don't know about "cheapest trick"; how do you judge?

[namida]

The time limit is 37:45.

Hmm...a poll, maybe?

[Proxima]

The time limit is 37:45.

Ah. I'm afraid Adam's level beats that, then.

I don't think I have any of the levels mentioned in the original post. What levelpacks am I missing? ::

[Proxima]

"The Bombatron" is from Steaver's Lemmings Plus 2.
"Stress Relief" is from Insane Steve's Lost Levels.
I don't know about Adam's two levels; as far as I know they're not in any packs yet.
"A Shock to the System" is from my Mac levels; I have no plans to remake them on Cheapo, sorry.
"Twenty Second Teaser" and "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Lemming" are from sets 6 and 7 of my in-progress series Lemmings Again; these won't be released for a while yet. (I'm happy to send these or any other Cheapo levels by e-mail if you want, though.)

Does Adam's level actually use that 39 minutes though? I know he often puts big things(such as high level size or long time limits) just for the sake of doing so. The UC7 level, Absolute Ultimate Challenge, actually requires all but about 30 seconds of the time as far as I'm aware.

  But no-one can play it! Please read my reply in 'Broken Levels' in Technical Help.

Well, I don't think it should be required that the level can't be done in less time. Adam's level is meant to be hard to get all the way through, not hard because of the time limit. I've completed it with 6:30 left, but that was taking several shortcuts that novice players might not find. (I also several times had the luck of a builder finishing his last brick in just the right place, rather than hitting a wall and turning round, which would have wasted another 10-20 seconds each time.)

If you could find the absolute minimum it's possible to do your level in, I could make a separate category for that, which you would win.

[Conway]

So, how can I play this level of Adam's? Which levelpack is it in?

[Proxima]

I don't think it's in any, as I said above. Want it e-mailing?

[Conway]

Yes please, if you have it! benjconway79@<bugger off you spambots!>yahoo.co.uk. I think it's obvious which part to delete!
