Here are more solutions.

[Colorful Arty]

Nice job Josh!

Spoiler

Crystal Enclosure: That's the easier of the two solutions, and the only one people have found thus far. I encourage you to find the other one, which does not involve going through the ceiling.

Expedition to the Moon Sanctuary: I have never seen that solution before, but I love it! This is an "any way you want" kind of level, so I always like seeing people's solutions to it (there are at least 6 distinct solutions at this point, all of which are roughly equally challenging.)

[joshescue18]

I solved Simon's level.

[IchoTolot]

Here are more solutions.

Both of my levels are intended! Great job!

You found solution 2 of my R2 level which starts on the right bottom side and ends in the left top exit. There is another one that starts on the left bottom side and ends in the top right exit, which I consider to be slightly harder Can anyone find this solution as well?

Also josh's solving time encourages me to place this as planned in the beginning section of rank 4 in United.

Also expect my solution videos to be coming soon now.

[Simon]

I solved Simon's level.

joshescue18: Thanks for solving! It's a backroute and I'll fix it these days, but it's ingenious. Your idea is worthy of its own level.

-- Simon

[Flopsy]

Both of joshescue's solutions to my levels are backroutes.

Another update for me

[Simon]

SacredKingdom v3 is in first post with fix against Josh's backroute.

-- Simon

[Ryemanni]

Here are some replays so far, four to be exact.

nin10doadict - Power Core

Very nice level. It didn't take me long to figure it out and I'm not sure if it's a backroute or not. I love the music.

bsmith - Colorful August

I had very hard time with this one and I think my final solution ended up being backroute.

Colorful Arty - Expedition to the Moon Sanctuary

I nice relief from the super hard levels. I had fun solving it though. Love the cheese.

mobius - Temple of Doom

Might be a backroute, not sure. I like it nevertheless.

Now it's time to tackle the harder levels...

streamed the contest #13, (in two parts) about half of the levels, solved some of them. Had fun; thanks to those who came

didn't solve: Nessy's level or BSmiths level but made some interesting progress on them.

[Forestidia86]

Two slightly different solutions for Simon's level ("Key to the Sacred Kingdoms" V3).

Sorry I couldn't make it to the livestream , but I saw a little bit of your attempts on my contest level and I have a few comments:

Spoiler

- The idea of a lemming going through the horizontal tree branch after another one bashes through it is unintentional, and that trick is not required to solve the level. However, if you want a hint for that part:

Hint

You don't need the basher or miner for that one-way tree branch, but you do need two other skills used together...

- Flopsy: The custom music is the Alien 1 theme from the PC version of 3D Lemmings. I like the PS1 version more but this version seemed to fit the level more.

- The updrafts are purely for decorative purposes.

- Sending the crowd through the bottom part of the level is intended.

Here are more solutions.

[IchoTolot]

I've finally uploaded my video-solutions to the current versions of the levels. The last one of these containing the solutions to my levels, including both of my R2 solutions.

[joshescue18]

I finished Nessy's level.

[mobius]

solved BSmith's level on my own. Was semi-hard but have skills leftover.

I will work on my own level and update it in a few days.
