I still haven't managed "Square Doughnut"  X_X It's a tough one.

Michael's Notebook - Level 8 - The Thirteenth Task

Save: 50/50
RR: 1
Time: 5:00

Skills: 1 of each

Good: You have to think about how to save the climber. Good, simple layout.

Bad: Most of what you have to do is obvious, and the rest can be figured out afterwards. What's with the title?

Proxima

Um....... I think I was deep into my Asterix phase at the time. One of the books is called "The Twelve Tasks of Asterix", you see.

BTW, I think Conway and Insane Steve have both solved "Square Doughnut"..... if you could post your solutions, it might help me remember what the intended solution was!  :P

Conway

It's funny. I'm sure I originally solved Square Doughnut, but I just tried it now and I can't remember how. It seems to be one builder short!

Michael's Notebook Level 9 - Manclimber United
  Save: 10/10
  Time: 1:00
  RR: 1
  Skills: 10 climbers, 1 of everything else.

  Good: A nice layout that almost convinces you it's straightforward.

  Bad: It uses a VERY cheap but unoriginal trick.

Proxima

So.... is no-one prepared to do Behind Bars? Has it stumped you all completely thus far? (I see from the screenshot that Conway now has the latest version, which is DEFINITELY possible.... in fact I know of three solutions.)

guest

That's the same version I've seen and done right?  Or should I redownload again?

Proxima

No, that's the same version you've done.

guest

Well, maybe I can review it if no one else wants to.  But not at least until I'm through with your Backroute Remake Set first.

Adam

Let's get the ball rolling again.
Michael's Notebook 10 - Behind Bars
Good : Nice Layout, visually pleasing and it has two possible solutions
Bad : It is a very big step in difficulty from "Manclimber United"

Shvegait

Michael's Notebook - Level 11 - Somewhere Under The Rainbow II
 
Save: 5/10
RR: 50
Time: 1:00
 
Skills: 1 climber, 1 floater, 1 bomber, 1 blocker, 1 builder, 1 digger

Good: Seems almost impossible at first. Has a very clever solution! Fun to figure out.

Bad: The exit isn't in the center of the level, it's off to the right a little. That's all :P

Proxima

Thank you, Shvegait! And thanks for the comment........

So, "Adam's lemmings again". I propose we skip the ones that are just remakes, as this is a long set. Thus, we start with:

Level 2: What the hell? [Screenshot forthcoming. Maybe.]

Save 100% of 60
Release rate 99
2 minutes

Skills: 20 of everything

Good: the fast release rate, the short time, and having to save 100% all make you think.
Bad: pretty easy and nothing especially original

Shvegait

Adam's lemmings again. - Level 3 - The two lone lemmings.

Save 2/2
RR: 99
Time: 3:00

Skills: 2 each of climb, float, bomb, block. 10 each of build, bash, mine, dig

Good: It's fun to get the lemmings into the visible exit. Plus it's short and not tedious.

Bad: The most direct way of getting the lemmings into the visible exit reveals a hidden exit, making the effort to get the lemmings into the visible one seem not worth it...

Proxima

Level 4 - No-one said this was going to be easy

Bad: The exit doesn't work!!! Surely this must be impossible?

Isu

Adams Lemmings Again - Level 5 - Very... Symmetrical

Save 40 out of 40
Release Rate: 40
Time: 2:00

Skills: 2 Climbers
          2 Floaters
          2 Builders
          2 Diggers

Good: The title describes the layout of the level very well

Bad: You only have two destructive skills, and you need at least 3, probably uses a trick I don't know about yet.

Proxima

 Um...... on my copy I have 2 each of climbers, floaters, BASHERS and diggers. You still need a clever trick, but having bashers certainly helps!

Proxima

Level 6: Four for four
 
Save 100% of 4
Release rate 4
4 minutes 44 seconds
 
14 builders, 3 bashers, 1 digger
 
Good: lovely layout that mixes different styles without going over the top -- and it's short and fun! Also, I like having a small number of lemmings.
 
Bad: You feel that having four trapdoors hasn't added much to the level except visually.

AND LOOK -- THIS IS MY 444TH POST! HOW APPROPRIATE IS THAT!!!  :P
