Cheapo Level List Game

[ccexplore]

The four fire traps to the left of the exit aren't placed right; lemmings walking left along the platform fall to their deaths rather than being burned.

Sorry to digress, but what you said reminded me of Mayhem 2.

On many versions of the game (DOS version being one notable exception, since it lacked the fire traps altogether on that level), there are 5 fire traps placed along the pit below the entrance area, with 4 cone-shaped terrain, each placed in between every 2 traps.  If you build from the starting platform so that the lemmings falling off the bridge land on the tip of one of the cones, you'll find that as they walk down the cone they will fall to their death rather than getting burned.

Isulemms Level 14: A cheap difference (part 2)

Save 100% of 175
Release rate 99
1 minute
80 bombers, 1 builder, 1 digger

Good: uses one of the best musics
Bad: very easy and rather pointless...... and also, what's with the title? Where is the difference between this and level 2, and how is it cheap?

Isulemms Level 15: There's a wall between us

100 Lems
50 to save
RR: 50
Time: 7:00
Skills: 3 climbers, 3 floaters, 50 bombers, 50 blockers, 50 builders, 3 bashers, 3 diggers

Good: I dunno, the title doesn't lie. Maybe if you're not paying attention, it seems impossible.

Bad: Well, I can't say when you made this level, but the solution concept has been done to death. Plus, it's a little tedious. I saved 89 on my first try. The song for the level is very short, while the level is a bit long, so it loops a lot...

Level 16: There's another wall between us

No. of Lems: 5
To save: 5
Skills: 1 climber, 2 floaters, 4 bombers, 8 blockers, 16 builders, 32 bashers, 64 miners, 99 diggers
Time: 9 minutes
RR: 99

Good: Nice looking wall! Straightforward.
Bad: The music! It's so awful! Plus, this level's too easy!

[Shvegait]

Straightforward.

Is that really a good thing, though?

Bad: The music! It's so awful!

I wish I knew the name of it. It's one of those songs that's played before big sports games (football, basketball)... Last year, I was on the 10th floor of a dorm that faced our college's football field. This music starts playing, and then all of a sudden I get the song stuck in my head (not realizing that it's playing completely, maybe thinking that I'm playing Juanjo's space set...), then I go up to the window, and sure enough they were playing it. But what's the song called... does anyone know?

[Ice_Eagle91]

Is that really a good thing, though?

It's straightforward becuase it's not too hard. If you know what tricks to use, this level is straightforward. I have a feeling this level has a backroute, though...
:mikehuh2:

Anyone want to do level 17?

[chaos_defrost]

The song is a MIDI version of "The Final Countdown," by a band called "Europe" (Hence, the second part of the "Phone Call from Europe" joke if you ever played my Cheapo notebook set) -- ranked #22 on the list of "50 most awesomely bad songs ever".

[Proxima]

Alas, I don't have the style for #17......

[Isu]

Bad: The music! It's so awful!

Really? I actually quite like it.

[Ice_Eagle91]

Alas, I don't have the style for #17......

The style is Hydra1.sty (High Tech). Download it here: http://www.garjen.co.uk/Lemmings.php

Well, I like "The final countdown". The midi isn't so good, but at all it's a nice song.
Anyway, review of level 17:



Level 17: You're in unknown territory now.
 
No. of Lems: 50
To save: 45
Skills: 1 blocker, 10 builders, 7 bashers, 2 miners
Time: 4 minutes
RR: 5

Good: By contrast to the first level, this one uses a planned solution. The low nomber of builders puts some difficulty into the level.
Bad: Not hard enough for its position at all; design (perhaps because of the style, I don't like it either).

[Ice_Eagle91]

Level 18: The long road to glory

 No. of Lems: 40
To save: 40
Skills: 20 of each
Time: 6 minutes
RR: 50

Good: There's a cool trick for the steel part at the beginning
Bad: Too easy for the last level!

Done! Let's review someone's next set!  

[JM]

Try my first two cheapo levels if you want

[Ice_Eagle91]

Ok...

The Blue Line

No. of Lems: 60
To save: 50
Skills: 10 of each
Time: 1 minute 40 seconds
RR: 60
 
Good: There's a nice trick used there.
Bad: Too annoying.

I hope to make some more cheapo levels soon. I could re-make most of my Custlemm levels in Cheapo
