The right lemming goes into the left exit, and the left lemming goes into the bottom exit... the paths cross as indicated by the title, and the trick is to dig and bash without the tunnels stopping each other. That is, if I remember correctly, which I might not.

Looks like a backrouted it then. That's a fairly clever solution though, I can see it needing timing.

I presume with the luck based criticism that you mean releasing the blockers Shvegait? I'm amazed you can post so much about the bad aspect of the level, and not mention how blooming long you have to wait for the bashers!

I did level 5, but I had to look at it in custlemm. Level 4 is really awful, especially if the last blocker fails. :P

Jazzem

I presume you mean in lemedit.

Level 5 is a little irritating, it seems to be entirely luck. A shame, the other invisible level we had was very well designed.

tseug(Guest)

Oh, yes, I meant lemedit.

I have 2,4,6 left. There seems to be a pattern of even numbered levels being harder.

tseug(Guest)

Really not much harder, just longer.

4 and 6 left.

Yeah, releasing the blockers, of course. There's a lot more bad I could've said about the level, but based on the reaction I got the last time I did that, I think I will refrain :P

JM

Is somebody able to review Level 5?

tseug(Guest)

I finally did level 4. :) Level 6 is really long. :P

Very modest of you! Don't hold back anything that could help the author to improve though, criticism isn't just a way to rant about other people's work :P It can be useful.

Gah, I think level 5 is impossible without looking in lemedit, and even then the objects being hidden hinders it.

Don't worry; Conway already knows what the criticism would be, we had the full version in the Cheapo Level Pack topic.

Shvegait

Ahribar, I almost forgot about that! Yeah, I already ranted on the level. I think that's a better reason not to do it here, and as I mentioned before, the Cheapo version is MUCH worse, because it is a longer level, meaning you have more places to mess up. And don't expect replay to work for you.

I passed level 5 a long time ago without looking at it in LemEdit... Yeah, it's a bit annoying, but it's novel anyway. Or it is if it's the first invisible level you've played, anyway.

<snip>
Bad: Extremely obvious what you have to do, and rather luck-based in getting it to work.

Some levels of this type have a sort of "flow" to them. This one seems very hard to predict. Does anyone know a way to solve this 100% of the time? (aside from memorizing specific pixel positions...) I've tried various release rates, but those only help marginally.
I must have been very lucky. &#A0;I just tried the level right now and solved it on first try. &#A0;Actually, I'm still not really sure why exactly would the level require so much luck as you guys purported...... [smiley=huh.gif] &#A0;Maybe I'll discover it if I replay the level, but I'd rather not as it is certainly very repetitive.

FYI, I did not fiddle with the RR. &#A0;I have about 40 seconds left on the clock.

JM

I failed Level 4 when I passed it. I didn't know you have to just let 1 lemming die when I was trying to pass the level. I did Level 3 which wasn't bad but it tok me a long time to get level 10 figured out.

tseug(Guest)

*bump* I know level 5 is an annoying one, but someone has to review it!

Shvegait

I've passed 5, but reviewed 4. No one else has passed it?
