Before making a video for each little update: Here are some replays for the fixed levels.

Including:

Bulletride R1V4  (could be intended)

Crane R1V3       (should be another backroute )

Arty R3V4           (should be intended)

[Colorful Arty]

Lix now works! Thanks guys!

How do I watch this type of replay file?

Use the V1.47n experimental version of NeoLemmix.

Next try!

Bulletride R1V5 here, but I assume that this is still a backroute because I just swapped a miner with a basher and I wouldn't call option 1 a backroute when option 2 is intended here.

Edit: Ok this was solved in the last V5 but now there's another V5, so back to the drawing board.

[bulletride]

Sorry! I thought it showed no downloads when I changed it so I figured I wouldn't have to change the version number. I watched the first part of your replay and then made changes without seeing how you did the next part lol.

[Crane]

Talisman please!

[IchoTolot]

Talisman please!

Not the exact way I was thinking of, but this is even a bit more clever    Nice job.  I won't update the contest level for this, but I may think about making it either a talisman or simply cut a miner for Reunion 2.

Some more replays. I will make a video when all the levels seem a bit more finalised.

Geoo R3V3: Ok, now I see the actual compression method here
                    This should be intended.

Crane R1V4:   A lot better, seems partly intended, but having a miner left seems still a bit backrouty.


R1V5 from Bulletride has me a little bit stomped atm.      Is the glider a redherring or not? It's so expensive to get! I has to be sth with my latest solution to the first part. But I will see.

All other levels seem to be intended by now.

Well you broke that pretty much instantly!  Hopefully V5 patches that.  Yes, you are meant to use the Miner in the intended solution!

By the way, how does Heaven and Earth perform for you now?

Can you double-check that Bird Knight is correct in the NeoLemmix pack? The exit doesn't seem to trigger on the experimental version of NeoLemmix.  Other than that glitch, here's a replay for V2 of Bird Knight that uses no diggers and only 5 miners and 3 climbers, which is as efficient as I can get it tool-wise, at least so far.

Nope backroute still works because of the decoration

Heaven and Earth is fine timing wise in my opinion now.

[Crane]

Bugger!  I forgot about that digger trick!  Physics... does not compute... ! !  Still, patched now, I hope, and I made some minor adjustments here and there to make sure you don't do anything tricky with builders and miners!

[IchoTolot]

Annnd this time I saved the digger

[Crane]

I will not be beaten!  Now I hope V7 is backroute-proof without being too unfairly precise, but still aesthetically pleasing (I tried to do a 'dripping water' effect on the overhang if you look carefully).  I had spotted a backroute of my own that I patched at the same time.  You'll make a good beta tester, IchTolot!

[IchoTolot]

Still saved the digger
