Level records

I managed to save 2 lemmings in sixteen minutes!

I'm going to have nightmares about that level for weeks!  =8O

I'm going to have nightmares about that level for weeks! &#A0;=8O

And why is that then?

[Conway]

I don't know. It probably won't be that bad.

[Adam]

I don't know. It probably won't be that bad.

If it isn't PM me to tell me where you found it pretty easy.

[Proxima]

Very nice level, Adam.

I can complete it with sixteen minutes (and three diggers) left, but this time I can't see any way to use fewer than the given number of builders!

I found the level very relaxing...... just what I needed, actually, when I've got a bad cold and don't want to stress myself out too much. Many thanks!

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

Shortest time limit -- 0:15 on my Inner Hurry

Ooh, I'm so evil!

As odd as it sounds, the level terrain gave the solution of that level away for me after about 3 or 4 failed attempts.

That said, I have an idea for a 12 second level, I just need to implement the trick I need correctly. It's kind of hard to describe.

EDIT: Got it. Now, I have to see if I can do with sans Fast Forward glitch, and maybe throw in a few better red herring routes.

[Conway]

Isu, does it involve the use of FF by any chance? I know it's very cheap, but I can't think of any other way.

[Proxima]

Isu: sorry, but levels that involve cheating are not eligible for a record.

[Isu]

As far as I'm aware, that level requires no cheating; unless you mean that cheap levels are levels that require you to cheat... Can you PM me your solution?

Conway: Hint: The fastforward helps (Slower screen fade), but not to an extent where you can save 10.

[Conway]

Let's see . . .

  1. There is clearly no quicker route to the exit.
  2. There can't be a hidden exit, or any other hidden object, in Cheapo.
  3. You can't change the release rate.
  4. None of the skills are able to speed the lemmings up, only slow them down.
  5. You can't even use the 'nuke when one lemming comes out and he = 100%' trick in Cheapo, nor could you in this situation anyway.

  Any what do you mean by The fastforward helps (Slower screen fade), but not to an extent where you can save 10? Do you mean that it's possible to save 10 without using FF, but it's not possible when you do use FF?  O_o

  Looks like another cheap trick/bug I don't know about.

I'm not so sure, Conway.  Read Insane Steve's comment on the level for example.

(No, I haven't even downloaded the level yet myself.)

2. There can't be a hidden exit, or any other hidden object, in Cheapo.

Are you sure?

Sorry about being a bit cryptic, the level is possible with or without fast-forward. The but not to an extent where you can save 10 bit was referring to saving 10 (you can save 9 by fast-forward, but not 10). I'm sorry but I can't say any more without giving away the solution. It is a massive cheapie.

The fastforward helps (Slower screen fade)

This was referring to the intended solution

but not to an extent where you can save 10.

This was referring to the obvious solution

[Proxima]

But you're simply wrong. First time I tried, I hit fast-forward, didn't touch anything else, saved 10.
