Lemmings Forums Level Contest #13 - Playing Phase (Discussion Topic)

[Nessy]

I finished Nessy's level.

Nice job joshescue18! You got the intended solution .

[Simon]

SacredKingdom: Forestidia86 (two replays) and Icho (video) found the same backroute in 3 variations. This backroute is easiest in v3, but looks already possible in v1 and v2.

v5 in first post.

-- Simon

[Forestidia86]

A solution for V5 of Simon's level. Sorry, if it's another backroute. It felt somehow like that but I used all skills.

[Simon]

Forestidia86: This v5 solution is much closer already. But the builders feel too hackish to let it stand. I'll try to reduce the number of builders, and already have a rough idea how to fix.

Don't apologize for finding backroutes -- the backroutes are in the level whether you find them or not. Getting this many replays is great feedback for me.

[Forestidia86]

Solution for V6 of Simon's level. Felt less hackish.

[mobius]

my thoughts so far:

Quick key of difficulties terminology I may use:
easy - moderate - difficult - super difficult - savage difficult

Arty's levels:
Crystal Enclosure-

Spoiler

I liked this one; feels very impossible at first then
takes a very classic trick but puts a twist on it. The other solution (backroute?) of going through the ceiling I'm not real fond of though; those solutions feel hacky to me. I like it visually.
I did not like the music at all; but this won't effect my vote fyi. (I heard it on Icho's video)

Expedition to the Moon Sanctuary -

Spoiler

The solutino is nice many-things-go type, 2 of each skill and the level is unique with the "low gravity" theme.
I'm not as big of a fan of these tilesets.

Ichos levels:

mount lemmerest

Spoiler

Though I say I usually don't like big levels; I really liked this one. It didn't feel overwhelming. I like the same trick being used twice. It felt like it had a running theme of hills like going up a mountain.
I feel like I could've solved this on my own.

Awakening of Agressions

Spoiler

Nice visuals. Super Hard difficulty. Perhaps (but maybe not) borders on using too many tough tricks in one level which makes it too tough for my taste but after looking at it; pretty nice none the less. Reminded me slightly of geoo's Stroke at Retirement age which puts together a bunch of savage hard tricks into one; this kind of level is too much for me, not fun overall.

Nessys level:

Spoiler

Good visuals. Overall and interesting layout and very difficult puzzle. Haven't solved yet but I think I know the solution.

Raymanni:

Spoiler

you level was visually very cool looking. The solution was cleverly hidden, about moderate difficulty.

BSmith:

Spoiler

Quite a tough one despite it's simplicity (my favorite type of level). Even if what I've found what a backroute, was still fun and quite difficult.
On visuals: I'm not real fond of the psychedelic set but this was okay.

Simon:

Spoiler

Played this a little but got very frustrated right away. I'm not a fan of this style of level. (containing crowds). The visuals are nice though.

Flopsy

Spoiler

Mobius Space Race: How can I not love a level that's dedicated to me?

I haven't given all of them a thorough playing yet. Even if I don't solve all of them myself I am happy I actually was able to participate this time and can vote.

[joshescue18]

Here's another solution to Flopsy's Rule 1 level.

[Flopsy]

Here's another solution to Flopsy's Rule 1 level.

This is intended, at last

[IchoTolot]

We've got a new Lix entry from Proxima to Rule 1!

The link to all levels and the one to the lix levels should include it now.

Have fun playing it!

[Forestidia86]

Have solved Proxima's Lix level V1 ("Oh No! More Tame Levels").

[Ryemanni]

Here are my replays for both of the Lix levels. I finally managed to beat Simon's level too.

[IchoTolot]

Resolved stuff!

Resolved Simons V6 level, Flopsy's R1 (this one seems really overfixed by now sadly, I would maybe roll it back to an earlier version and change the skillset) and R3 level.

Also Proximas R1 level is solved. Liked the mash up here, but I could have backrouted it, as I've got some stuff left

[IchoTolot]

Resolved Proxima's level.

[Forestidia86]

Solution to V2 of Proxima's Lix level. Had skills left.

[IchoTolot]

Resolving of both solutions to nin10doadict's R2 level.
