Yippee! More Lemmings [Difficulty: Easy-Hard]

NieSch · September 10, 2019, 07:59:46 AM

Yippee! My first level pack is here.

Yippee! More Lemmings

- For NeoLemmix v12.07 or higher
- 20 levels equally divided into Fun, Tricky, Taxing and Mayhem + 2 bonus levels
- Using the original styles and music from Lemmings, Oh No! More Lemmings and Christmas Lemmings
- Using classic and new NeoLemmix skills and features including the shimmier (<- I love that skill)

Tricky 1: Marching in the Moonlight

Taxing 1: Cliff Diving

Mayhem 5: Out of the Frying Pan

Thanks to all who gave me feedback in my development topic.

Thanks to Swerdis and IchoTolot for playtesting.

I had great fun making these levels. I hope you have fun playing them too!

Haha, it took me a second to get that title. Why not "Oh yes! More Lemmings" right away?

Will give it a shot soon!

There has been way too little new content since the introduction of the Shimmier - and I'm definitely to blame for that, as well, since I've been treading quite slowly on the further development of Lemmings Open Air. So I'm curious to see how other people put that new skill to use! Especially in the context of smaller packs, which therefore likely don't take ages to solve, even if every other level should stump me.

Which, given that you say IchoTolot playtested this pack, among others, doesn't seem that unlikely to me...

From playtesting it, I can really recommend this pack and it also has some tough nuts to beat!

Swerdis · September 10, 2019, 06:45:09 PM

I agree with this. I couldn't solve all the levels, NieSch sent me for playtesting. I will try to beat the pack and, after that, I'm looking forward to new material

Hi NieSch

You have given me the idea to make a small pack, maybe a 20 level pack, the ski sloping lemmings seemed very unpopular except maybe for the later levels.

NieSch · September 21, 2019, 07:01:13 PM

Update

I really love the beautiful and mysterious crystal tileset. I already had two crystal levels in this pack but I didn't have a nice "open landscape" one.

Now I've made one and added it as Tricky 1 to the pack.

Marching in the Moonlight

The only L2 (circus style) level that previously was Tricky 5 is now moved to a new "Bonus" rank. (I might add more bonus levels later.)

See the first post for the new attachment.

IchoTolot · September 21, 2019, 07:15:48 PM

I think this might be a backroute.

NieSch · September 21, 2019, 07:21:53 PM

LOL, it is. And I really don't know why I didn't think of that.

Edit: Fixed it. Now with a better solution thanks to IchoTolot.

NieSch · September 27, 2019, 01:52:41 PM

Update

I've added one final level (ranked "Bonus 2") that brings the total amount of levels to 22.

The Yippee Finale

See the first post for the new attachment.

The yippee finale level looks really cool!

Actually the layout kinda looks like it could be a multiplayer level, might be interesting for someone to adapt that in Lix and see how it goes.

Lix lacks the splitter objects that seem to be what makes that level work. (The - in this case - golden arches with the red / green arrows. When a lemming walks into them, they turn to face the direction of the green arrow. When this happens, the direction changes, so the next lemming will go the opposite way.)

Finally played through the Fun and Tricky ratings of this pack (my solutions are attached below). Very impressive levels!

My favorites so far are definitely "Signs to Guide You" and "Home is Where the Heat is" with interesting and well thought out solutions.

NieSch · October 16, 2019, 08:40:06 AM

Thanks Nessy! I enjoyed watching your solutions.

"Signs to Guide You" has also my favorite solution.

Spoiler

When I was making another level I accidentally found out that a blocker can turn a shimmier and thought it would be fun to build a level around this.

Managed to solve 4/5 levels from Taxing

The one that has me completely stumped is "Capture Me". I attached an attempt replay just to see if I am at least on the right track.

Well done! Most of them are just a little different from the intended solution. (See a few posts above.) Taxing 4 is a very creative backroute.

About "Capture Me": you're very close. Two hints:

Spoiler

It's enough to capture only one lemming.

Dig somewhere else.
