That's a nice solution! An unexpected use of the Platformer but a good one and didn't break the level at all! This level has a time limit anyway, so I'd like to keep the rest not as restrictive.

Cheers, mate!

Solution for Namida's "Reach-Around" (V3):

[namida]

Closer, but still a backroute. I guess that's what I get for trying to make the execution slightly easier.

[NieSch]

I guess this is almost the same backroute, for "Reach-Around" (V4):

Nope, that's the intended way now.

The key thing is having to use another bomber to stop the miner, so you can re-use him for his climber skill - but I don't want this to be possible to do before the miner makes (most of) his tunnel.

Cool! I like it. I'm a fan of small levels like this that are nice puzzles.

About Armani's "Supernova":

Spoiler

Aaaargh! I have tried so many times now but I still  haven't solved the level. I was so close... With two more seconds I would have made it.

At first, this level had no time limit. And I found myself a backroute and it took longer than the intended solution so I added time limit.
I think you tried exactly the same backroute that I found (I saw the screenshot you posted and I'm quite sure about this )
The intended solution has 10~15 seconds left over.
Here are some hints!

Spoiler

The title of the level is Supernova and you can see a nebula at top right of the level where all the lemmings get together.

You may want some destructive skills but you have nothing. But really?

[NieSch]

@Armani:

Spoiler

I did think of that (the title and the high amount of lemmings were clues) but I did not yet get the execution right. I'll try again.

(My backroute involved getting the timing right so that 2 lemmings walked over the same trap at the same time, so one lemming survived.)

Solution for Armani's "Supernova" V1

Spoiler

Backroute? I didn't use the Nuke Button like you suggested.

Well done
As you expected, that's not an intended solution.
But I like your solution and thank you for finding a backroute
I will add fire trap to block it.
And also I will remove time limit as time limit do nothing as a result.

[Crane]

Hah, I know that feeling.  I've gotten that close with Supernova too - still haven't found the trick.

In the meantime, here are my current solutions to a load of miscellaneous level.  Some look like backroutes.

[IchoTolot]

Seems like Xeno Menace needs a little fix.

Will play through the levels over the weekend probably and record myself as well.

In the meantime, here are my current solutions to a load of miscellaneous level.  Some look like backroutes.

Thanks for playing both of my levels.

Fun With Flags is intended, nice alternative solution.
Who Ya Gonna Call? Knuckles the Echidna is a back route though. Have uploaded a fix.

Will you be the one to find the intended solution on Who Ya Gonna Call?

Intended solution to my level (Reach-Around).

[Crane]

I found this solution to V2 of the Sandopolis level, but it works unmodified on V3 as well.  I don't use the Miner or the Shimmier.

Ignore the Rule 1_05__Crane file in the ZIP above; it was a failed attempt.

Completed a few other levels too (the Rule 1_05__Crane file on this post is a solution that works!).  I completed the Rule 2 level without using any Miners.
