Level 9 solved. Replay attached. Should be intended, as it uses all the skills except for the clearly red herring bombers
I definitely say this is a medium difficulty level, as it's clear for the most part where everything goes except for one somewhat obscure trick that might escape the more casual players.
I just edited the OP - my current assessment of this pack has been adjusted to "medium"... Btw, you sure seem to have the pulse of this community!
I can agree with this for the time being, although perhaps over time the pack might even go up to Hard, and so the pack would likely be tagged a Medium - Hard one.
Haha, well the advice I always give players is to just solve more and more packs so that over time their solving abilities improve. In this way, tricks are picked up along the way, and when it comes time to using them to solve a particular level they can come in very handy. At the same time, I think I've always had the puzzle instinct/mentality and hence I generally have an easier time than most when it comes to solving Lemmings levels. Of course, this doesn't mean that no levels ever stump me. I get stump more often than you think, but I think the characteristic that sets me apart from most other Lemmings players is that I constantly keep coming back to the roadblocks until I finally succeed in solving the level. United is a very good example. I got stuck often and usually for weeks/months. I also mentioned before that I'm willing to sit through and get stuck for however long it takes until I finally get a level solved.
I'll start working on a 9th level now. Got some new ideas, and will try to implement them as best I can. Sometimes a project takes on a life of its own. For example, level 8, which is my favorite so far, startet as a mere test of two ideas
Feel free to release a set of multiple levels at a time, as well as take your time on your pack. There's absolutely no pressure or rush to finish, so you can take however long you need. You could even wait on releasing more levels to play until you have a fair idea of how big you want the eventual pack to be. It's your project, after all, so even if it ends up taking a while, your levels will likely be much higher quality as a result as opposed to those that are rushed and released in short order.
