CustLemm Level List Game

JM, go for it. It's a personal theory of mine that just about every level designer eventually makes some sort of I Am A.T. remake.

Yep. I was gonna say I haven't made one, but I've made a level that was, umm, "inspired" by that level... it's sufficiently different, though.

I was listening to a song called Bolero when I made level 6 and couldn't think about the title. Something about the word links in my mind to fire, and I don't know why.

Have you ever played Ocarina of Time? The song that you play to warp to the Fire Temple is called "Bolero of Fire." Maybe that's why Playing that game was the first time I'd ever heard the word "bolero", so I think they kind of link together for me, too.

Well, I utterly backrouted level 9 (Highlight to read): Make the first lemming start digging about 2/5 (anything to the right of this is fine, just don't start too far to the left) of the way along the block. Bash after he has dug 5 pixels. Make the next lemming start digging about a digger's width to the left of where the first one started (shouldn't fall into the pit). Bash after he has dug 10 pixels. Continue digging and bashing, 5 pixels lower each time. Good job, you just saved 100%!

I know that the text is white and this post is blue, but it's still pretty much impossible to read accidentally.

Ya, see, I tried to prevent that from happening when I made the level. Bah. That's why I had 11 as the number of bashers. Think I should make it 10?

Hold it! My version had 20 of each! I should get the real version...

[chaos_defrost]

Ya, see, that's a problem. My version has 11 bashers and 11 diggers, because I noted the 20/20 backroute you mentioned. Real version is on my Useless Website in my profile.

Who's reviewing Levels 7,8,9 and 10?

I think that's what Steve meant; if you count levels "inspired" by I am A.T., it probably is most people who have done one. I have too -- Zorn's Lemming -- but my version is definitely "sufficiently different", as well as a whole lot harder.

So we have Insave Steve, Shvegait, Ahribar, and maybe J.M. in the future. &#A0;Just 4 examples so far. &#A0;Surely there are more level designers out there, 4 can't be "most people".

I suppose one can revise the theory to: &#A0;level designers who have seen, heard about, or discovered independently the trick is likely to make a level based on it, in which case 4 might have a chance of being "most".

Personally I find the trick a bit overhyped here and would not use it in a level just for its sake, unless there are other, more interesting moves you need to do in the level.

Conway made one also, in his first level pack ("I am not A.T., but close enough"). And Isu, in Isupck02 ("I am A.L. (A Lemming)". In fact, we reviewed both of those. Garjen02 Level 9 is also a remake of this level, although I think it tries to stick as much to the original as possible.

Anyway, I think the point was that it's a commonly imitated or built-upon trick for whatever reason, moreso than some other tricks.

All these "I am A.T" remakes are amazing. Insane Steve's re-make is probably my favourite. Level 7 of this pack seems to be a re-make of a level from the original Lemmings. Has anyone passed it?

[Leviathan]

I've only beaten one out of about 5 versions from "I am AT" I played...most of the time I make a crucial mistake,somewhere in the level and have to start all over again.

Is I am A.T a Mega Drive/Genesis level?

Well, no wonder I find it overhyped!

Yes, it was like Sunsoft 29 or something like that (don't remember the exact level number). &#A0;It was also Sunsoft 2 on the SNES version (exact same level).

[JM]

Re-makes of Genesis levels or Original Levels are always cool. Especially the re-makes of "Tightrope City","Steel Works","Pea Soup" and there's also a level in another of Insane Steve's packs with a title similar to "Fall and no life".
