Here's another short challenge. Fun 10: 100% with 2 blockers, 2 bashers, 1 floater and 4 builders.
Or 2 blockers, 2 bashers and 3 builders.

Kinda wonder how you used the blockers.  It's possible with just 2 bashers + 3 builders (and if you really try, 2 bashers + 2 builders).

Here's how I did the Fun 10 challenge I made since you all did it differently. Highlight the hidden text below.

Let the first lemming build on the edge (Make him a floater). Make the second lemming a blocker. Let the third lemming build the left edge of the platform. Make the fourth a blocker to hold the others back. Watch the right floater and let him build into the starting block. Do the same with the left lemming only this time you bash right dropping both blockers. Bash left with the floater to get all the lemmings home.

And this is how I improved minimac's challenge:

First lemming blocks, second builds off to the left, third is a pass-through blocker. Builder falls to the left-hand L, builds, bashes to release blockers and crowd (importantly, by now all 20 lemmings are out, so the worker lemming has time to build over the gap while everyone else is going to the left). As soon as the worker crosses the gap, bash to stop him going too high.

I am starting to love these challenges. I've set up another one!

Tricky 5: 3 minutes with 1 basher and no miners, diggers or bombers. All other skills allowed.

Taxing 24: 100%, without any builder bricks directly below the drop that you would usually create a landing place below - however, you also must not prevent the lemmings from going up to it as a whole (you may prevent one or two lemmings from going up, if you find this to be nessecary, but the majority must be allowed to go).

Let me see if I understood: lemmings can't be saved by landing on a builder brick?

Done! Though it's far away from being a flawless replay, sorry for that.

Here's another challenge for Fun 10 - but a little more crazy.

Save 100% in 1 minute with no builders. In doing so, you must destroy the whole central block of terrain (beneath the trapdoor), and nothing else. The attached pic shows what you're aiming for.


Here's a couple of tips: (highlight to read)

- Bashers and miners can destroy a bit of terrain behind them.

- Blockers can turn diggers while standing inside the digger's tunnel.

- You can select a walker instead of a working lemming (which is normally prioritised) by holding the right mouse button and clicking the left.

Fernito: Clam's challenge says "Without destroying anything else", but you used miners on the bottom area, so you didn't succeed.

Damn, didn't notice that part!  :-[

I think this challenge will be better if you redesigned the level rather than us have to follow the rules. ;)

There's no way to redesign it to acheive that. You simply don't build bridges that would make that fall safe. You can avoid the fall (but not by preventing lemmings from reaching it), but you can't make it safe.
