Yes! These are exactly perfect. Although the first umpteen Lemmings levels get a bad rep for being tedious, they do a very good job of introducing the player to the game. We shouldn't expect everybody who loads up Lix for the first time to be a Lemmings expert, so I really quite like these levels for introducing the basic concepts with minimal extraneous distractions.
What's especially cool is that these tutorial levels don't
say they're tutorials. You can just load it up and figure it out without having read an instruction manual. I think I mentioned "hidden tutorials" in irc. This is that.
My favourites are the bang levels and the climber level. The climber one not only teaches what a climber does, but also where it fails (at an overhang). Maybe you could have another tutorial level just for the fling aspect of bombers? Since I know that's up your alley
. A clarification between how small bombs don't fling and big bombs do would be nice -- that confused the heck out of me when I first played Lix.
The Diagonal dig/construction level has an overwhelming amount of stuff on it for an early tutorial level. But I get the sense that it's in a different tier...?
Too Long; Downward Reduction (edit: TLDR): awesome job,
The whole set of skills would be awesome
squee!
