Maybe he did work out some way to solve the level by himself.
[size=12]
If you had solved the level properly yourself, you'd understand why I'm justifiably suspicious.  It doesn't help that the person who used to post as "Guest" has now been posting as "tseug" instead, so we really don't know who posted that review above.

So, I'm discounting the review above and I'm going to post my own, more legitimate review instead.  I'll remove this review once I have more reasons to believe the reviewer of level 10 actually solved the level.


Geoopk0 - Level 10: High-Tech or Low-Tech

Number of Lemmings:40
Save: 90%
RR: 1
Time: 2 minutes
Skills: 2 climbers,3 floaters,1 bomber,1 blocker,4 builders,2 bashers,1 digger

Good: Compelling level design that makes you choose the correct exit.  The title is quite fitting with the level design.  The level difficulty fits well with the level position as the last in the pack.

Bad: A rather obscure, extraordinary, and somewhat difficult to execute glitch is required to save the amount needed.  Since there are many other approaches that looks viable, the majority of people who doesn't know the glitch would end up getting really stuck as they are continually misled by those other approaches.  And once you know the glitch, the level's fairly straightforward except maybe for the execution.[/size]

There are other guests around the forum ccexplore. Some still use the name guest. I believe your review ccexplore. Maybe the reviewer probably just didn't know you have to pass a level to review it.

Have we got the images for Garjen 04? I'm ready to review one of the first three levels.

Garjen04, in my opinion, is a very bad pack to review. Why? Because the levels of this pack are just easier versions of his other levels. (Think of the Fun and early Tricky levels in original Lemmings).

If any of them, 01, 02, or 03 should be reviewed over 04... (we already did 00).


You can see his own personal difficulty ratings and descriptions of his packs on his site:
http://www.garjen.co.uk/Lemmings.php#Packs

We should pick a 4- or 5-star one of those.

Garjen03 would be interesting, with the challenge being to find backroutes to any of the levels. Seems audacious to claim that the entire pack is free of backroutes!

I think Garjen02 is better. But any pack would be a welcomed break after the last one!  :P

Can anybody give me a clue to 8? I seriously hate this levelpack, yet I have a strange compulsion to want to beat every level in it. :-? I'm still stuck on 5, 6 and 7, but I've put them on hold for now. So . . . any (extremely mild) clues on 8?
I somehow like this attitude. I think the levels you hate most should be the levels you try most (except you hate them for their boringness). ;)

Ah yeah, I updated level 6, it's still the old link (http://207.58.177.175/~geoo89/lemmings/geooPk0.zip)

And btw, I got an avatar (following suit the two 'ex-guests' ;)). Not related to lemmings though.

Even my second pack? :P
(Probably not, firstly the rules prohobit that, and secondly, you'd need to wait for quite some time for me to complete it.)

Shall we do Garjen04 then? It has a few hard levels in it.

You seem to have triple posted, Geoo89! I deleted the other two since they were exactly the same as the first.

I don't hate any particular level in the pack, I just think it's unnecessary to have so many ultra-difficult levels in one place. Maybe if each level was spread out over a number of packs as the 7th - 10th levels it would be better, but having so many tricks and glitches crammed into a single pack can be a little daunting. And somehow I doubt you'll be able to keep the pace over future levelpacks.

But I don't know; maybe it's just your style. I think you certainly have the most talked about pack on this thread!  8-) It inspires me to want to return to my LemEditing days.

You have a second pack? When's it coming out?

[size=13] ;D So let's see, we have a vote for garjen04 (JM), one for garjen03 (Shvegait), and one for garjen02 (Conway).  So much for consensus.  I almost feel like making the situation worse by voting for garjen01...... ::)[/size]

[size=13]Careful now, or he might really set out to prove you wrong. ;)[/size]

Oh, after looking at the level pics to jog my memory of the packs, change my vote to Garjen01. :) I haven't played much of Garjen03 yet, I was just saying based on his description of it, that it might be interesting.

Seriously though, JM, Garjen04 is just way too easy! (And is meant to be in fact, but the original levels are more interesting than these easy versions.)

How about levipak3? I've looked through the pack and it looks good, I haven't tried the levels though.

I have an idea  :P

Let's review Garjen01 and review Levipak3 after Garjen01 has been finished  :)

I thought we weren't reviewing two packs in a row by the same author.

On second thoughts, maybe Garjen03 would be a better pack to review.
