Lemmings Forums

After "bashing" the wall, isolate all of the lemmings (except two) on the side where the entrance is... The rest should be easier !

Morning Walk 1 - Demi-tour Nice easy level to start off the rank. The resolved version isn't that much harder. It's just the same solution except that you must block with the first lemming due to the 99RR

Morning Walk 2 - Banlieue in London I was stupidly stumped on this level that I joked "the LP is off to a great start." As it turns out, I failed to realize that there's open air on the very far right when digging the blocker free. To be fair, it's very difficult to tell what's background and what's open air, particularly with the choice of the background along with the extremely difficult to tell things apart in the Shadow tileset. Of course, I could had avoided the problems this entire time by activating CPM, but I'm one of those people who rather not take the easy way out like that. Instead, I like figuring things out as I go. Lemmings is a puzzle game, and CPM certainly wasn't available when the original game was released.

Even then, this level is a huge step up in difficulty from the previous level.

Morning Walk 3 - Au pays d'Aladdin As mentioned before, I like how you put the background image of the palace of Agrabah from the movie Aladdin. This is a level that I did too much overthinking on. Even then, my solution is quite precise on the miner and builder placements.

Morning Walk 4 - Dans un salon bourgeois This might be a completely new style from you. Somewhat difficult level, although I ended up temporarily containing one of them. Not sure if you consider this solution acceptable.

Morning Walk 5 - Chimie de laboratoire The lab tileset is a great one to work with and one I certainly admire aesthetically. Here, is the pickup in the top left corner a red herring? It might be possible to collect it and still solve the level, but I don't know. I don't collect it, though. This level is also somewhat easier than some of the levels before it.

Morning Walk 6 - AU SECOURS !!! Although this is a repeat of Let's Be Careful Out There/Come On Over to My Place, I don't consider this a worthless repeat. This is a solution that I have never ever tried on the Fun version of the level. It's a nice one, with the only hard part finishing the level on time because of the strict time limit. Just to let you know, I don't mind time limits. I love them, and I'm a huge numbers lover, especially since math has always been a passion of mine.

Morning Walk 8 - Iznogoud Fascinating tileset. I think that's really cool how the locked exit magically appears after the button is pushed. That's cool with the button looking like some kind of envelope. There's also an indicator of where it is located due to the word "Exit" with the lockpad symbol. Easy level, with the only difficult part being to get the button and then get back without being infected.

Morning Walk 9 - Epopee cathare Nice somewhat easy level. The only hard part is containing the crowd at the beginning.

Morning Walk 10 - Le blizzard Easy one, with the only hard part to stop the miner at the beginning.

Morning Walk 11 - Rien ne sert de courir... Somewhat difficult level for a 30 second one. It's just all about knowing how to delay the second lemming to give the first one enough time to build across the gap. It's also vital to cut off the builder short since you don't have time for him to build the full length staircase.

Morning Walk 12 - Le grand plongeon Much harder than the one you see in the LP. The hardest part is getting the jumper/glider to land successfully on a stack that's only had a few bricks laid down. It's not easy to work out how to get all 3 lemmings to the other side at all. I do have a lot of skills leftover here, though. I'm guessing they're just to make the execution a bit easier?

Morning Walk 13 - Le palais de la reine 1 Ah, I failed to realize the 1 in the title and only noticed it just now. Even for just a 2-of-everything with 3 different skill types this level still managed to trip me up. Nice solution, though. I originally deduced incorrectly building over the anti-splat pad with a lemming from the left entrance. So, it's amazing how this can still be quite deceptive despite only 6 skills.

Morning Walk 14 - Bonds et rebonds Difficult one. Despite how the jumpers are very plentiful, they all end up being used. Here, it's all about knowing how to distribute the jumper skills since you cannot waste a single one. Working this out is hard. The fish statues with water coming out is nice and all, I just don't like how they can easily be confused for being solid instead of background. Especially with the water since some might think it's like a water pond that lemmings will drown in when they touch it. I guess with how it has an animation that should be the biggest clue that it's background, but even then generally most of the time they're placed out of the way so that they don't interfere with the solution or cause any confusion.

Morning Walk 15 - Seuls sur la lune Almost the same solution as the one you see in the LP. Here, I used a climber to delay one of them so as to give the glider enough time to collect the pickups so that everyone can get a glider before they get too low to be able to use the updrafts to get to the exit. The floater is a complete red herring, as lemmings cannot be both a floater and a glider at the same time.

Morning Walk 16 - Mosaiques sur roche Difficult one. It's not easy to work out how to contain the crowd, as well as how to get to the exit.

Morning Walk 17 - Soyons solidaires ! Sorry, this I consider a worthless repeat, as I've already played a very similar version of the level from bsmith's pack from a while back, where it has pretty much the same solution as this level here. Needless to say, this level just has been overdone too much already. That use of a bomber to help a lemming from the left entrance to get up to mine the adjacent trapdoor free is genius, though.

Morning Walk 18 - Orpiment Nice somewhat difficult level. Straightforward for the most part, but it's still not easy to work out. Whoa, that fish trap is interesting. I like how the button is a mini lemming statue.

Morning Walk 19 - Tapis roulants Somewhat easy. Very easy to contain the crowd due to the one-way force fields. I say the only hard part is getting up to the conveyor in the middle, but even then it's easy to work out due to the skills provided.

Morning Walk 20 - Bonshommes des neiges Another level that managed to stump me. There were some things that almost work but won't that I just couldn't dismiss for a wihle, as well as some things that I couldn't wrap my head around, most notably how to stop anyone from dying in the middle entrance. This has a really good red herring, though. You don't assign a climber to anyone in the right entrance even though it seems to be the most obvious thing. I ended up having a disarmer leftover, but it's a good thing that it's provided, as there might be the chance a lemming will slip by the basher tunnel and get killed by the icicle trap.

Morning Walk 21 - Le saut Nice level! The hardest part is working out how to turn a lemming around to get the pickup. The area to do so is really small. Fortunately this one I was able to work out fairly quickly, and I luckily noticed the pockets to mine into to stop the miner after releasing the blocker.

Morning Walk 22 - Sur les rocs et les monts Nice breather level since this is easier than most of the other levels around it. Moderate builderfest, but it's not that bad. Very nice background combined with the rock tileset! :thumbsup:

Morning Walk 23 - Objectif Terre A bit too repetitive with the stoning for my taste. Also one where I really overthought the solution. It's really not that hard. The only hard part is getting the stoner from the far right entrance at the right spot so the glider doesn't go past the exit.

Morning Walk 24 - Oasis Very nice level too! :thumbsup: Great background with the tileset. The only hard part is getting over the the trees, as well as turning around before the exit to platform up the gaps, but other than that it's somewhat an easy level.

Morning Walk 25 - L'ile au tresor Nice level that is somewhat of a breather as well. The only hard part is collecting the pickups and circling back and avoiding getting infected. Here, I let the swimmers do a couple of rounds in the water before finishing the platformer bridge.

Morning Walk 26 - Le palais de la reine 2 Ah, this is a sequel to MW 13, the halfway point of the rank. I probably spent about the same amount of time on this one as I did with MW 13. Nice solution, especially with making the splatform for the top entrance from below. Time limit makes the level somewhat harder.

Fast Walk 1 - Sonic Nice level to start off the rank. I love the design here. Those fighter plane traps are quite interesting. I wonder if you made them? Somewhat difficult, but it's still an overall easy level due to how there's only 1 lemming. I made the end part harder than I needed to, as I saw Icho's solution long after I solved the level. I'm not sure if you're aware of the builder/digger trick I used to turn a lemming around, though.

Fast Walk 2 - A bonds saccades Wow, those custom objects to propel a lemming upwards and temporarily becoming a glider are cool! :thumbsup: I might had made it slightly harder than I needed to, as the only thing that differs between mine and Icho's solution is the location of the platformer, as well as building on top of a stacker.

Fast Walk 3 - Le desintegrateur de lemmings and Fast Walk 4 - La peste verte were both very easy.

Fast Walk 5 - Le grand toboggan Slightly harder than the previous two, but still not very hard. Certainly the hardest part is containing the crowd at the start and once you successfully do that and isolate a worker the rest is easy.

Fast Walk 6 - Morts-vivants Easy one. My solution is probably a little bit fiddly, but this certainly saves up on skills.

Fast Walk 7 - Une jungle tranquille Very nice design combined with the background. Difficult one, although the next time I came back to this level it was a very quick solve. There is also one very fiddly part, where I relied on a lemming to get to the spot at the bottom to put down a platformer in order to "extend the basher." This is also your widest level up to this point in the pack.

Fast Walk 8 - Une chaleureuse chaumiere One of my favorites. The only difficult part is realizing you need a passthrough blocker while making sure only one lemming is isolated on to the left of the blocker.

Fast Walk 9 - En attendant quelqu'un O.o love the background of Aladdin and Jasmine on the magic carpet. I one-shot this level. Very easy.

Fast Walk 10 - Nocturne au Lac Majeur Somewhat difficult, although my solution is very different from Icho's. I use the Dolly Dimple trick for the upper entrance to isolate a worker and then later released them with a basher. For the bottom entrance, I simply went along the bottom rather than send them up through the top like Icho did.

Fast Walk 11 - Une partie de morpion I struggled with this for some time. I really like this puzzle, though! It's another one of my favorites. I definitely deduced using the long sections wherever possible, but I failed to realize the one right above the exit being extremely useful so that the answer is not going along the bottom to bash all the thin bars away.

Fast Walk 12 - Uranus World !!! Very easy as well. Only hard part are the diggers, since both are very precise.

Fast Walk 13 - Le palais de la reine 3 I really like this one as well for the third iteration of the level found at the halfway point and final level of the previous rank. It continues to be so here for the Fast Walk rank as well.

Fast Walk 14 - 2 lemmings en desherence Worthless repeat as well, since this solution isn't all that much different from the one players might possibly use on The Great Lemming Caper.

Fast Walk 15 - LEGO Wow, great design and level here. Quite an easy one.

Fast Walk 16 - Prions une main secourable !!! Dolly Dimple trick again to isolate a worker lemming. Nice use of building twice into a builder staircase to turn a lemming around. Only slightly harder than the other levels around it, but it's still a somewhat easy one.

Fast Walk 17 - Tour de maitre Definitely a harder repeat of Morning Walk 1. The solution is nearly the same, except no blocker to turn everyone around. Instead, a stacker is used and it's required to dig away the left half of the stack so that no one slips by before it's high enough to turn the lemmings around. The glider and jumper are absolutely necessary to give the first lemming as much of a head start as possible. It might be possible to save some skills, but I'm not sure.

Fast Walk 18 - Foret noire Wow, nice use of tileset mixing the Beast of a level and Beast II of a level. For the background, would that happen to represent the Black Forest? I wouldn't be surprised if it is, since I kind of got it from Beauty and the Beast, which does take place in France. As for the level, a little difficult. I think it's absolutely necessary for the digger pit to be as far away from the wall as possible so as to give the miner enough time to build across the second gap.

Fast Walk 19 - Toile d'araignee Now this is not a worthless repeat, as the solution is quite different. At the same time, I could had sworn I played a similar level to this before. It's certainly harder than the Mayhem 4 version. The only difficult part would be making sure no one splats when getting inside the web.

Fast Walk 20 - Un sejour en Enfer Nice breather level. Easy one. It's not a complete walk in the park, but it's easier than some of the levels around it.

Fast Walk 21 - Le Roi des neiges Another favorite of mine. Somewhat difficult. The hardest part is containing the crowd at the start. Once that's done, the rest is somewhat easy. Got to make sure to leave some ceiling so that the climber doesn't go out to the right. I like the use of placing the builder in such a way so that the lemming turns around with two builders.

Fast Walk 22 - Randonnee nordique is super easy.

Fast Walk 23 - Sang de feu I really like this one! :thumbsup: I definitely fell for the builder pickup red herring. I struggled with this one. Only the climber pickup is needed. Very nice solution here! Probably my most favorite of the entire rank. Nice job! :)

Fast Walk 24 - Par-dessus les toits Yet another level that isn't a worthless repeat, as the solution is very different. This is a difficult one. Containing the crowd is easy, but at the same time you need to make sure it is climber friendly on the left. Once that's done, the rest is somewhat easy. It's still not easy figuring out the building section at the top area before the pyramid.

Fast Walk 25 - Une prison marmoreenne Easy one. I like the use of a falling bomber to free both bottom entrances. The only thing that makes the level difficult is the strict timer.

Fast Walk 26 - Le palais de la reine 4 Another nice iteration to end the rank. Not that much harder than the previous 3 iterations.   

Morning walk 4 : Well done ! Your solution is very close to the one I was thinking of. No problem !

Morning walk 5 :

QuoteHere, is the pickup in the top left corner a red herring? It might be possible to collect it and still solve the level, but I don't know.

Maybe ! I don't know !

Morning walk 6 : This isn't the intended solution at all, but I like it a lot !!! Well done !

Morning walk 8 : The button is actually a closed eye that opens... :):lem-mindblown: but, I agree, it looks like an envelope... :crylaugh:

Morning walk 9 : Valid alternative solution ! I hadn't thought of doing it like that. Anyway, in my initial solution, the climber was of no use. So, it's all right !

Morning walk 12 :

QuoteI do have a lot of skills leftover here, though. I'm guessing they're just to make the execution a bit easier?

Yes, this is normal, especially climbers ! :smug:

Morning walk 14 : Sorry for the confusion between solid part and background, I totally agree ! :-[

Morning walk 15 :

Quotethat rotating galaxy animation is cool!

I didn't create this graphic, I found it in another tileset whose name I forgot. :forehead: Beautiful solution, very close to the intended solution !

Morning walk 17 :

QuoteSorry, this I consider a worthless repeat, as I've already played a very similar version of the level from bsmith's pack from a while back, where it has pretty much the same solution as this level here.

Okay ! I don't know the version of bsmith ! :-[

Morning walk 20 : Yes, well done, that is exactly the intended solution. :thumbsup:

Morning walk 21 : Good ! Nice alternative solution. In fact, the level can be solved without using the pickup skill... :evil:

Morning walk 25 :

QuoteI think I also recognize some of the terrain on MW 25 to be from Freddi Fish's Maze Madness, so it seems that you're a fan of the Humongous Entertainment games? I too grew up with them.

I didn't create this tileset. And... I don't know much about this game. But it's true that it looks like it ! :o

Fast walk 1 :

QuoteI made the end part harder than I needed to, as I saw Icho's solution long after I solved the level. I'm not sure if you're aware of the builder / digger trick I used to turn a lemming around, though.

I didn't know this trick ! Nice !

Fast walk 2 : Yes, there are plenty of different solutions in this level. But you used the same skills as in the expected solution.

Fast walk 7 : Wow ! What a complicated solution ! :lem-mindblown::lem-mindblown::lem-mindblown::lem-mindblown::lem-mindblown: There are other much more obvious solutions... Well done anyway ! ;P

Fast walk 8 : Well done ! Solution intended. I had in mind two possible solutions for this level, quite close to each other.

Fast walk 9 : Yes ! There are references to Disney and fairy tales in some levels... :laugh: :cute:

Fast walk 10 : Backroute ! IchoTolot found the intended solution. Well done ! But... I might make some changes to this level ! ???

Fast walk 12 : Well done ! There are several solutions. This is a very satisfactory one.

Fast Walk 14 :

QuoteWorthless repeat as well, since this solution isn't all that much different from the one players might possibly use on The Great Lemming Caper.

Sorry again : I don't know "The Great Lemming Caper" ! I spent all my childhood in Agrabah, I cannot know everything... :lemcat: I have Jasmine's number - and Aladdin's number too - if you're interested ! ?????????:lix-evil::forehead:

Fast walk 17 : Well done, but we can do a lot easier ! ;P

Fast walk 18 : Nice alternative solution ! Well done ! For the background, it's just a photo that I edited with image editing software. ;)

Fast walk 23 : Well done ! But there is a easier solution, which uses fewer skills.

Fast walk 25 : Valid alternative solution. In the intended solution, the climber and the floater are not used.

Running 1 - L'Academie des 9 Difficult level to start off the rank. I like the puzzle, though, where it comes down to analyzing each section and what pickups are in each and determining the correct order. Kind of reminds me of a contest level I played where practically the entire level was filled with pickups, especially since you start with no skills available to assign.

Running 2 - Acrobates A level where I overthought the solution completely. I kept thinking I had to stop the second lemming from slipping by the digger pit. Turns out that he'll always slip by no matter what you do, and that he's supposed to. The only difficult part is making sure everyone survives, as you need to dig right above the steel so that the digger gets stopped by it, and as a result the lemmings that come from the hatch won't be able to land on anything before falling into the digger pit. It's a really good level, though! ;)

Running 3 -Dans un vaisseau spatial Great level that managed to stump me for a time. The hardest part is knowing where to mine in order to clone it so that he releases the crowd, as it seems that it's quite precise. It's also difficult to determine whether you're supposed to clone the builder or the miner. Definitely one of my favorites, especially with the puzzle of how to release both the preplaced lemmings and the crowd, and realizing that the preplaced lemmings can simply climb out, as you don't have enough builders to get them out.

Running 4 - Le lac is a breather level. Nothing too special about it other than you have to build from both sides.

Running 5 - Espace en distorsion Nice builders only level. Of course, I could had taken the easy way out by using CPM so as to automatically tell which teleporter the Lemmings are supposed to get to to reach the exit, but my non-use once again is deliberate. Even then, it's not a hard level despite how it took me some time to solve.

Running 6 - Un forage original Uh, yea, there was no fooling me here at all. I instantly recognized that the nuke solution is needed. The biggest clue was the save requirement. 1 minute spent on it and done.

Running 7 - Les 3 foreurs This level I consider a semi-worthless repeat. It's not in that it uses a solution that you cannot do on the Mayhem version, but you can on the Fun version. I'm just not sure if the level is worth it just for a diggers only solution. The only hard part is realizing you need to dig right above the ramp, which will ensure giving the second digger assignment enough time so that no one turns back to the right.

Running 8 - Planeurs a la derive Ok level. The timing here seems extremely tight to make the splatform so that no one splats. It seems that saving both walkers to turn around is absolutely vital.

Running 9 - Les marches de l'invisible Another breather level. Very easy.

Running 10 - Architecture de fantaisie Another favorite of mine. That's quite clever to use a builder to seal off the digger tunnel while inside it with another Lemming and then later bombing him so that both sides of the wall are breached to release the crowds.

Running 11 - Sur la banquise Ok level. Seems like there's a lot of fiddliness with the crowd control so that no more than one lemming drops into the water. It took me several tries to get this timing/spacing right.

Running 12 - Scenario de film d'horreur Another breather level, though not exactly a walk in the park. Made easy by the fact there's only lemming which you can assign skills to

Running 13 - Le palais de la reine 5 Harder than the previous 4 iterations. The timing is especially tight in creating the splatform for the second lemming from the top entrance. Also need to build in such a way so that you don't seal off the path to get to the pit at the bottom. I think this might be pixel precise.

Running 14 - Shinto Difficult but nice puzzle ;) Not sure what was going on, but a few times when I tried building at the start I couldn't get the lemming to jump to the wall and climb. Maybe that part is very precise with the builder placement? The way to get to the button and avoid the zombie is great. Also must build from the left for the gap before the exit and bash before forging the rest of the path.

Running 15 - Les hieroglyphes mysterieuses Yet another great level that managed to stump me, but that's because I was somewhat of a dummy. Turns out that I did nearly all the level correct the entire time. The only thing that was wrong was making the worker lemming a climber due to how I dug with the first lemming and hence no one can get by the pit. Also couldn't visualize the solution with the remaining tools, but that is quite clever to dig under low enough and then bash into the steel to turn around so that when you mine you won't take the ceiling with it. Still, I can see how this level can trip people up. Needless to say, it can be quite difficult.

Running 16 - Le Pont des Soupirs Absolutely love the design here! :thumbsup: Hard one, especially with figuring out how to get the crowd past the bridge. The water gap near the exit seems to be a complete red herring. Still, that was a good one to throw it in and potentially fool someone in using it like it did with me :laugh:

Running 17 - La Princesse au petit pois Easy one. The only hard part is getting two lemmings into the narrow pit, which requires good timing. Also must stone low enough so that the right basher will get stopped due to the digger.

Running 18 - Hansel et Gretel Hard one. Lots of dead ends where you can easily be a skill or so short. It's hard to determine the path to take to get the preplaced lemmings to the exit. Seems like this was one where I really overthought the solution. More red herring pickup skills :crylaugh:

Running 19 - La bibliotheque du chateau Near straightforward level were it not for the fact that when the miner finishes they can all step out to the left. Easy to rectify by digging on the far left and then building to prevent that, as well as being able to get into the exit on time. Satisfying to beat the timer here ;)

Running 20 - Nuit d'etoiles Another level where I kept confusing myself as to what to do. I knew the solution entails having a lemming land on top of a stoner, I just couldn't determine how to get that to happen for some time :crylaugh:

Running 21 - Luminaires Not a hard level, just has very tricky timing. I like the level for how a miner is used to create a mini staircase instead of a basher while leaving the exit terrain intact.

Running 22 - Cache-cache Nice two lemming level with a hidden exit. I don't mind them, as long as there's some kind of visual cue as to its location. There isn't any here, but it's still easy to deduce where the exit is. Still, I would make the exit visible.

Running 23 - La prison d'Andromede Another breather level. Easy one

Running 24 - Dos crawle Nice repeat where it's almost the same as the first version of the level I played where I had an old version of the pack, except there's not enough skills to use the diving board. Instead, you have to go underneath the level. There is some difficult timing for blocking to turn the builder around.

Running 25 - Jeux d'enfants Great level and solution. The digger is very precise so that only one lemming slips out to the right while everyone else cannot slip out on either side. I definitely overthought the solution here as well.

Running 26 - Le palais de la reine 6 The 6th iteration of the same level found at the halfway point and at the very end of each rank. First one in the series to not use all 6 skills. One of the skills is a pickup, but it's a complete red herring. Easy one, though.

Running 6 : Good ! But we can do easier.

Running 7 : I agree with your remarks, this is one of the first levels I created, it's not extraordinary, but you still have to be precise. ;)

Running 8 :

QuoteThe timing here seems extremely tight to make the splatform so that no one splats. It seems that saving both walkers to turn around is absolutely vital.

In fact, a slightly simpler solution exists.

Running 10 : Bravo ! Very close to the intended solution.

Running 11 : Little backroute. Wow ! What a complicated solution ! :lem-mindblown: You really got into your head (I don't know if this expression is correct ???) ! The expected solution is really much easier : you just have to isolate the crowd at the start. ??????

Running 14 : Bravo ! This is exactly the same solution as the intended solution.

Running 15 : Very nice alternative solution, without using the stopper. Well done ! :thumbsup:

Running 16 : Little backroute. Nice work, but there is an extra basher, which I will remove in a future update. :-[

Running 18 : Bravo ! But... backroute (as in the IchoTolot's version) : I forgot to remove the climber, which is useless in the expected solution. I will do this in the next update. Sorry. :-[

Running 19 : The use of the climber is not essential. But it's well done. In fact, the use of the climber/floater at the beginning is not essential.

Running 21 : Wow ! Complicated solution. There is a much simpler solution... without using the pickup skill. :P

Running 22 :

QuoteNice two lemming level with a hidden exit. I don't mind them, as long as there's some kind of visual cue as to its location. There isn't any here, but it's still easy to deduce where the exit is. Still, I would make the exit visible.

This is the only level in my pack with an invisible exit. I appreciate fantasies, sometimes. :laugh:

Running 23 : Ok ! Little backroute : stoppers removed and one steel added.

For the other levels, your solutions are those expected, or very close.

100 Metres 1 - Il neige Unless this is intended, my entire solution is pixel precise. I later realized that I didn't need to place the stacker where it is in the solution. Knowing myself, I really overthought and overcomplicated this level. You say it's not hard, but I thought it was. I curious of possible easier solutions than the one I found. This is also the first level that I needed to spend some time off camera to try and solve, as I generally do that if I can't get the level solved after 2 videos. Luckily, I was able to pull off doing the solution again, as I also generally don't use replays in my LPs.

100 Metres 2 - Comme Tarzan... Builderfest here, and what I thought was a breather isn't exactly what I consider one. It definitely requires some thought as to how to get the most of your platformers/builders despite builders looking very plentiful. It's a nice design visually, especially with the background, even if there's a lot of emptiness between the gaps.

100 Metres 4 - Maison hantee !!! Difficult one. The timing is especially hard here. Definitely requires RR fiddling to get the necessary timing/spacing. It's not clear that you can even make it onto the torch holder with just two builders. I do like how you need a backwards basher in order to climb up the tall hill to start building.

100 Metres 5 - Le parc d'attraction Another difficult one, but I really like this one :thumbsup: the shimmier trick to bomb out the upper neutral group is quite clever. I watched your intended solution after solving this level on my own, of course, and it's quite different from mine. I think I delivered a somewhat easier way. Still, I like how you mined the climber neutral group out. I simply did it at a lower location.

100 Metres 6 - Une escalade cooperative Yet another hard one. I don't know if my solution is intended, though, especially since I don't even use the bashers. I also find it strange that the lemmings can survive the needle trap if they get high enough.

100 Metres 7 - Comme un poisson dans l'eau Not as hard as some of the previous levels, but it's still somewhat of a challenge. Here, I fiddled with the RR so that I can turn the second lemming around in the really small digger pit with a builder and so that he can slip out of it to the left before the digger digs all of the terrain away. The rest of the level is easy after that.

100 Metres 8 - Renaissance Breather level. It's not exactly a walk in the park, but it's obvious what needs to be done. It's not as big of a builderfest as the second level in this rank, but it's quite close. Just need to platform/build high enough uninterrupted and you should be fine.

100 Metres 9 - Les temps modernes Bit harder than some of the previous levels, but it's still not that hard. It's just difficult to navigate the tricky terrain in the gears efficiently. Despite the limited skillset, the level appears to be open-ended.

100 Metres 10 - L'enigme des Pharaons Easy and one of my favorites. Got the gist of the solution very fast, just did the first bomber in the wall incorrectly, as it should be on the right wall rather than the left.

100 Metres 11 - Chevauchee forestiere Somewhat of a breather. The hardest part is simply getting low enough to be able to platform all the way across uninterrupted. Luckily, platformers don't hit their head as easily as builders. Nice level.

100 Metres 12 - Salle de bal Possibly my favorite of the rank :thumbsup: It's an extremely nice puzzle and very satisfying to figure out. It's not obvious that the wall where the button is can be reached with all the builders provided on top of a stoner on the right side. That's quite neat to dig away the builder staircase to fall before the wall and bomb to make a nice ramp for the crowd to get up to the exit. It is a bit precise, though.

100 Metres 13 - Le palais de la reine 7 Not that much harder than the previous iterations. The only difficult part is making it onto the floating platform with the top two lemmings. Seems it's necessary to delay the second one with a climber so that when he joins the first builder he is able to reach the other platform to be able to turn around to free the bottom crowd.

100 Metres 14 - Stalactites Interesting level that's entirely steel. Breather level, although it's not obvious that the worker can make it over the top with 4 stackers. Still a nice level/puzzle.

100 Metres 15 - Petits ponts Another favorite of mine. Not a hard one, I was simply a dummy here for a while. I kept trying to get everyone out of the pit without having anyone fall off and be stuck in the small pit on the left. Features the stacker/stoner trick to step up. Very satisfying to figure out the solution and to beat the timer. I like how the swimmer and the cloner have just enough time to make it to the exit.

100 Metres 16 - Sable chaud Somewhat easy, although the level appears difficult. Nice solution/puzzle. Those pixelated red dots is an interesting fire trap. I have never seen them before.

100 Metres 17 - Parcours accrobranche Another level where I was a dummy and kept trying things at the beginning that just wouldn't work and stop anyone from falling into the bottomless pit. Turns out that the solution is to contain everyone in the pit where the pickup is. Achieving this so that no one can fiddle off the bottom of the screen is the only hard part. Once that's figured out, the rest is easy.

100 Metres 18 - Le Labyrinthe de Minos Great level. The only hard part is getting both climbers up so that the platformer brick does not block the other one. Seems that achieving this is nearly automatic and requires one round after getting the top climber pickup. I like how you need to platform on the raised area so that he doesn't turn around, or you'll run out of time otherwise.

100 Metres 19 - Le mur de briques Hard one. I kept trying things that wouldn't work, and kept thinking one climber was supposed to go over the top while the other climber was supposed to go through the bottom. Earlier attempts kept failing from doing the OWW part incorrectly as a result of doing the left side wrong. Turns out both need to go up together on the left side. Achieving this is difficult, but once successful the rest is easy.

100 Metres 20 - Double je Somewhat hard, although the only hard part is the starting area. This seems very precise so that a climber can get up to the button. I like how a miner needs to be used and cloned so that the worker climber can survive the fall ;) The rest is easy.

100 Metres 21 - Un serpent siffle sur leur tete Not a hard one. The only difficult part is getting a worker lemming over the top. Jumpers might seem plentiful, but they surprisingly run out fast. I could have had some left if I had interrupted the miner/basher with other skills instead.

100 Metres 22 - Palais d'Orient Another favorite of mine. The only hard part is figuring out how to get up in the starting area while making sure no one dies to the needles trap. The key is realizing that only one lemming needs to make it up to where the thin bars are. Also that getting through the first thin bar with a miner and cloning to get the crowd up. The bomber and digger to get through the other two bars are interchangeable.

100 Metres 23 - Le Mot code Not a hard one as well. That is neat with the builder through a thin wall trick to leave a step for the lemmings higher up to fall on to survive. I'm not sure if there's supposed to be a code here that dictates what order the skills should be performed. If there is one, it's probably in French, and so I wouldn't know what it would say.

100 Metres 24 - Blue Lagoon Not too terribly difficult either. The only hard part is getting the timing/spacing right so that no one slips into the bottomless pit, as the bomber is the only casuality allowed. The climber pickup appears to be a red herring.

100 Metres 25 - Boutons de rose Tricky one, but it's not too hard. The very strict time limit is the main enemy here. There was one attempt that failed by a fraction of a second, but in the next attempt, when I dug one pixel back then I was able to finish on time ??? The key is realizing that the second lemming needs a glider to get as much horizontal movement as possible even though it seems counterintuitive due to how a glider is slower than a faller. Also digging away the in-progress builder staircase with the second lemming so that you have enough time to finish. Absolutely no room for error here.

100 Metres 26 - Le palais de la reine 8 Harder than some of the previous iterations. The hardest part is getting two climbers over the wall who are close enough so that the teleporter overloads and allows the next one to slip by while it's busy so that he can bash the crowd out. I achieved this by having a lemming climb the left wall to create the proper spacing/timing.

100 metres 1 : Well done ! But your solution is very complicated. :lem-shocked: The intended solution is much easier. I didn't think this level could be so difficult ! (my replay attached)

100 metres 2 : Perfect !

100 metres 3 : Well done. It might be easier and safer to block zombies from both sides.

100 metres 4 : Perfect !

100 metres 5 : Nice alternative solution.

100 metres 6 : Backroute : there is a bug. I find it odd that the trigger zone doesn't cover the entire object. :forehead: It must be an error, I think (?) I will correct this problem in the next update.

100 metres 7 : Bravo !

100 metres 8 : Well done !

100 metres 9 : Yes, there are plenty of possible paths / solutions for this level. It's not very difficult, but you just have to be careful because there are few skills. ;)

100 metres 10 to 14 : Perfect ! :thumbsup:

100 metres 15 : Well done ! Close to the intended solution.

100 metres 16 : Bravo !

100 metres 17 : Well done ! At the beginning, it's possible to block the lemmings more simply (my replay attached).

100 metres 18 : Perfect. Imagine that you can also pass this level without using the floater. :o

100 metres 19 to 21 : Solution intended. Well done.

100 metres 22 : Nice alternative solution, a little complicated. ;) In the intended solution, both cloners are used for building the stairs (my replay attached).

100 metres 23 : Bravo ! In reality, there are several possible paths in this level. There is indeed a hidden code word in French (amour = love), but it isn't used to complete the level.

100 metres 24 : Well done ! But this is a backroute (same solution as ericderkovits) ; I will fix the problem by adding a column in the next update. In fact, it's possible to go to the left to get the pickup skill climber.

100 metres 25 and 26 : Super !

400 Metres 1 - La fee Clochette Awesome, a level that features Tinker Bell, one of many of my favorite Disney characters :) Not a difficult level to start off the rank, although I generally have a difficult time with levels that have stackers. The fencer assignments are very precise, although it's understandable due to the design of Tinker Bell herself. Even then, some leeway would be nice. Maybe there's an easier solution than the one I found?

400 Metres 2 - Au Royaume des joyaux Nicely designed level ;) Not a really hard one, but it can still trip you up if you're not careful, and I wasn't very careful :XD:. In particular, the climber must be allowed to go back to the right before building over the purple crystals.

400 Metres 3 - Fuite d'eau Complete breather level. Way more than enough skills to finish the level. There's probably multiple routes to get through the level.

400 Metres 4 - Dare-dard I definitely kept overthinking this level. It turns out far easier than how I made it out to be. Great design and background ;)

400 Metres 5 - Bienvenue au Parthenon Difficult one, but one of my favorites! :thumbsup: I definitely had problems determining whether everyone is supposed to go over the top or through the many pillars at the bottom. The hardest part would be rescuing both the blocker and the lemming who frees him. It's also not very clear whether building from the highest point on the first pillar allows you to get up high enough with the very limited amount of builders provided.

400 Metres 6 - Dans les steppes glacees Repeat of a level that I believe was in the previous rank. It's only slightly harder, but it's still an easy one. Previously, it was a ceiling route. Now, it's going underneath the level route.

400 Metres 7 - Competences Not sure if my solution is intended. Somewhat difficult, especially since I use the very fiddly stacking and a basher to punch a hole on both sides to release the crowd. However, this is very precise and timing heavy. Those are really interesting custom teleporter like objects with a picture of a digger on them. Seems the way is to avoid them? Not sure if there is a solution through the bottom.

400 Metres 8 - Larmes de givre Easy one. Only hard part is to release the climbers in such a way that both are going to the left first and then destroy the builder staircase so that they're falling to the left.

400 Metres 9 - Amor Somewhat difficult but another favorite of mine! :thumbsup: The hardest part is timing the climbers so that the second one can build the staircase to allow the other one to use it to shimmy from below. After the builder is done, it must be dug through so as to delay him so that he doesn't reach the exit before it's unlocked. After that, working out how to get the climber out from the right area is a bit difficult. I'll also have to agree with Icho about being careful about using a well-known trap as a custom button here. Of course, since I generally don't use CPM in my LPs, I had no idea it was a button, although it was the only thing that stood out from all the rest of the level.

400 Metres 10 - L'arbre des songes Not a terribly difficult one, although it still takes some thought as to how to get the most of your builders on this level. The key is getting as high as possible on the first tree obstacle you get to, as well as making sure that no one can walk out to the left on the same tree obstacle. Very nice background here.

400 Metres 11 - Foret psychedelique Almost a repeat of a similar level found in a previous rank. I really like this one as well. The only hard part is stopping the lemmings from splatting and containing the crowd in the pit on the left, but once done the rest is easy.

400 Metres 12 - Pres du port d'Alexandrie Easy one, especially since it's the second 1 lemming level in the rank. This level is a good example of one where even though it might not seem to matter which destructive digging skill to use, it's quite critical here, as it's important to make sure to have a basher for the end.

400 Metres 13 - Le palais de la reine 9 Not that much harder than some of the previous iterations of the level. The very strict time limit is the main problem here. It seems absolutely necessary to max out the RR right away to be able to finish on time.

400 Metres 14 - Nougatine a gogo Bit difficult but a nice one. Really nice design here as well. The part to get the climber pickup is quite precise. The timing to get him to the other side after mining before the other lemming stacks too high is tight as well, especially since it's important that the miner tunnel can be sealed up with a stacker.

400 Metres 15 - Tic et tac Another great one. Love the clock designs here. I figured this one out fairly quick, so it was an easy one, though still no complete walk in the park.

400 Metres 16 - Temple au Tibet O.o, this is a really nice looking tileset with a outdoor night sky background. Breather level.

400 Metres 17 - Le phare By far my favorite designed level of yours up to this point despite the really spooky looking terrain and environment. That's a really cool lighthouse exit, which is located near the top where the lightning shoots out from. I thought it was near the bottom, but that's what I get for not using CPM.

400 Metres 18 - Mystere sous l'evier Another huge favorite of mine in terms of the puzzle! :thumbsup: I especially like how the climber needs to get back up the level where he came from after going out to the right to build the right half of the bridge across the water gap. Somewhat difficult level, but it's still not too hard.

400 Metres 19 - Le Chateau Rose Very nice looking level here, especially with the trees! ;) This level ended up giving me more problems than I thought it would, but that's because I was a dummy with how I was going about with containing the crowd at the start. It also appears that going up the right side would work, but it just barely fails. So even though it doesn't look like it would, turns out the way is to build a very long staircase on the left side, reaching just below the moon.

400 Metres 20 - Lavomatique Yet another favorite of mine! :thumbsup: Definitely reminds me of POOR WEE CREATURES from OL because the structure at the very beginning kind of resembles it, and also because of how there's a splat hatch here. Of course, can't stop them from splatting like we can here, as a glider is not provided in the other level and hence you can't bomb a hole in the wall to start building from.

400 Metres 21 - Bonbons Difficult one. Very hard to figure out what the best route to take is, let alone whether the pickups are needed or not. The very limited amount of destructive skills nearly indicates to get around walls/obstacles and only use them for the top where the exit is. This is also a really nicely designed level, especially with the background ;)

400 Metres 22 - E-toiles Yet another favorite of mine! :thumbsup: I like how it's necessary to mine in such a way that a kink in the right wall is made for the worker to be able to climb back out later and then a shimmier is used to get across the gap in the floor made by the miner. You also have to do the same with the miner on the left side so that he can shimmy over the exit and then jump over the exit from the right side in order to mine the crowd out.

400 Metres 23 - Le prisonnier d'Alcatraz I overthought the solution here. Once again, levels with stackers generally give me problems. Even then, this isn't a really hard one. Seems the key is to simply keep the crowd moving, as I ended up beating the crowd with platforming over the water gap before the exit before anyone can fall in and drown. Knowing myself, there are probably easier solutions than mine.

400 Metres 24 - Eldorado Ah, the city of gold, hence all the gold colors in the level. Somewhat difficult, but a nice one. I thought the fish was a trap, especially since it's already been established as one in earlier levels. So, I would definitely keep to being consistent, as you do not want to first make it a trap in one level but then a solid object on another. The game is already complicated as is, and with so many tilesets and custom objects it's nearly impossible to keep track of everything.

400 Metres 25 - A pas feutres Yet another level where I was really overthinking the solution. Some of the gaps don't look like they can be platformed or sealed with just one skill. It seems that one needs to outpace the zombies. Luckily, you could just cut the building skills short once the zombie(s) pass by. I was also fortunate the timing worked out once she's able to get past the first zombie successfully.

400 Metres 26 - Le palais de la reine 10 Same as 400 Metres 13 in that this is harder than some of the previous iterations, but it's a really good one. I really like how the solution entails sending up two climbers, with the first one building to hit his head and turn around, while the second one bashes away the builder staircase before he turns around so that he can fall through the gap in the staircase to the left to bash the crowd out. Then you must build so that he turns around so that he doesn't climb up the huge wall on the far left, as he will splat otherwise.

400 metres 1 : Perfect ! I do it a little differently (my replay attached).

400 metres 2 : Nice alternative solution.

400 metres 3 : Well done ! I will take a lot of skills away for the update. In fact, this level (like Running 12) was designed in the days of rising water, which made climbing much more difficult. :'(

400 metres 4 : Yes, this level is easier than you might think. ;)

400 metres 5 : Intended solution. Yes, this level is difficult : we must find a way to save the stopper.

400 metres 6 : Little backroute : I will add a hole and remove the digger, which normally isn't used in the intended solution. :o

400 metres 7 : There is a solution through the bottom, easier than the one you found. However, I will add an unlock button in the next update. :D

400 metres 8 : Ok !

400 metres 9 : I understand the button identification problem, but the trap has its mouth open, while the button has its mouth closed. I think this difference makes it easy to tell them apart, not to mention the CPM usage that most players use. :P

400 metres 10 : Well done !

400 metres 11 to 15 : Intended solution. Well done !

400 metres 16 : Indeed, the level is too easy : I will remove some skills in the next update. :lem-shocked:

400 metres 17 : Bravo ! I had fun creating a scary/horror-movie atmosphere with the rough sea, the fog and the lighthouse on. :scared: :evil: :devil: Thank you for your appreciations.

400 metres 18 : Intended solution. Well done !

400 metres 19 : Nice alternative solution. The main difficulty is knowing how to block lemmings at the start without using too many skills. But... it's also possible to climb between towers.

400 metres 20 : Intended solution. Yes, that's right, it looks a bit like POOR WEE CREATURES (from OL), a level that I found difficult at the time... :scared:

400 metres 21 and 22 : Intended solution. Well done !

400 metres 23 : Intended solution, or close. I don't know if it's possible to solve the level more easily. Ah ! I just fixed the "false steel" issue for the next update.

400 metres 24 : Intended solution. Well done ! The big fish are traps/fountains, but the small fish are block. IchoTolot had already pointed out this kind of confusion in my pack : you should know that I didn't know the rules or pratices before creating these levels, and besides, I didn't expect to "publish" them one day. From now on, if I have to share other levels/packs, I will be careful. :-\ :laugh:

400 metres 25 and 26 : Intended solution. Well done !

For the Marathon rank, some levels are quite difficult. Good luck ! ;)

Marathon 1 - Prince of Persia As mentioned before I think it's cool how you recreated a level from the game into a Lemmings level. I learned that it's Proxima's tileset, and hence it was approved to add some of your custom stuff to it. That's really interesting using retractable floor tiles as buttons here. Difficult level to start off the rank, but only because it's quite hard to tell how the lemmings will navigate through the terrain here. It's almost like this level plays out in 3D. Then again, this is the very first level that I have ever played in this tileset, meaning I'm not used to it. I'm sure it'll get better over time. That sharp teeth door trap is quite gory and took me by complete surprise.

Marathon 2 - Aqualand Harder than I thought it was going to be. Lots of things caught me off guard here. Some things here seem very precise. Knowing myself, my solution is fiddly and messy and there are easier solutions.

Marathon 3 - Le morpion piege Somewhat a harder repeat, just by the lower quantities of each skill. I ended up figuring out this one much faster than the original. Still a nice one, though.

Marathon 4 - Parcours-Puce Difficult one, especially with figuring out how to work with the two worker lemmings. Fortunately the platformers are very easy to figure out. I say the hardest part is figuring out how to isolate two worker lemmings and the section right after getting the button.

Marathon 5 - Porte close chez le Sheriff Difficult one as well. Navigating through the odd terrain is not easy at all. I kept trying things that would almost work but they ultimately don't. Great design, though.

Marathon 6 - Retour au XVe siecle For sure a harder repeat of Renaissance. It's all about using your builders/platformers wisely so that you can still get through the level. I figured out the right side quickly, using jumpers to get the button and back instead of using constructive skills. The jumpers to do so are a bit heavy on the precision, though. Perhaps you can relax the precision a bit? I probably could had made releasing the crowd easier had I mined more carefully at the start.

Marathon 7 - Une houleuse aventure Semi-worthless repeat, as I feel this has already been done before, since I think I might had played a version of this level requiring this before. I might be remembering wrong, though. It might also be possible to do it on the Taxing version of OL. The solution is quite obvious. The only hard part is digging and bashing far away enough to give the worker enough time to build up to the exit platform.

Marathon 8 - En apesanteur Difficult but a very nice one! :thumbsup: Certainly the most difficult was figuring out how to get the lemmings where they need to be so that they don't get trapped up at the top due to gliding and the updrafts. Turns out I kept doing things incorrectly with the right-most lemming. It's still a difficult one to figure out considering the extremely limited skillset.

Marathon 9 - Soleil d'hiver Breather level. The only hard part is timing the workers so that one of them can collect the bomber pickup. That's really cool using the Sun as a trap here :crylaugh: Really nice background.

Marathon 10 - Soucoupes violentes Difficult but excellent level! :thumbsup: Another favorite of mine. I figured out the building for the bottom lemming to shimmy across fairly quickly. The part that stumped me was the bottom being able to hoist himself up. Turns out I was a dummy as I kept using a digger to do so. A basher needs to be used instead, and hence simply needed to trade places with the digger and the basher.

Marathon 11 - Nuit cauchemardesque Breather level. I don't know what the figure is supposed to represent here. In general, I'm not a fan of the silhouette lemming sprites, as it makes it very difficult to tell how to assign skills. Even worse is how you cannot tell which ones are athletes because no color shift happens.

Marathon 12 - Miam miam ! Difficult one, although I kept trying messy things that wouldn't work, especially at the start with trying to save lemmings from falling into the chocolate water. Kept using a non-swimmer to bomb through walls instead of using when it's easier to use a swimmer instead. It's quite obvious that you need to go through the bottom, as there's absolutely no way to get higher at all. It's the execution that is difficult.

Marathon 13 - Le palais de la reine 11 Certainly a bit harder than some of the previous iterations. I have a climber leftover, so maybe a backroute?

Marathon 14 - Halloween O.o nicely done with the autumn night sky and changing leaf colors to represent the special occasion. Difficult one, although I certainly kept overthinking the solution here. Turns out you're not supposed to completely bridge the first gap the crowd gets to, as that can be used to dispose of the zombies. I'm guessing the extra tools are to simply help with the timing, as sometimes you might be too early and hence can delay with them for a bit.

Marathon 15 - Mission secrete au Sahara Somewhat difficult, although the only hard part is making a splatform for the crowd on the right side. Looks like the fall is fatal by a single pixel. I think that's really cool with how you can actually see the the teleporting and how it quickly goes up. However, the teleporter and receiver look identical here, so there should definitely be some kind of maybe verbal cue so that you know which is which. In most tilesets, designers use the words "in" and "out" for that.

Marathon 16 - Morts vs Vivants If I'm not mistaken, the level title translates as "Dead vs the Living"? Much harder repeat of the original, as this one took me quite a while. Not only is there less lemmings than the original, it seems the zombie distribution is more even here. The key is to take advantage of a gap between zombies that's much larger than the others. The timing here to squeeze in between is difficult, and the solution is quite timing heavy and fiddly.

Marathon 17 - Souk Another favorite of mine! :thumbsup: It's a difficult one only because it's not obvious where any skills go. I really like the solution, though. Mining in such a way that the lemming can climb back out after collecting the basher pickup, dropping a stoner on the other side to extend a basher, and cloning a climber/glider so that you can build to the pillar from the right side for him to climb up and glide to the platform above to get the last button. Well done ;)

Marathon 18 - Cyber-machin-truc Nicely designed level. Difficult one. Since this is another new custom tileset where I have never played any levels in, it's all about familiarizing oneself with the custom objects and tileset. I mistook the large red rectangular things for buttons when they're actually traps, similar to the airlock trap from the Space tileset.

Marathon 19 - L'amulette Huge builderfest, although it's somewhat of a breather due to how there's only 1 lemming to work with here. The level's still difficult, though. It's not obvious at all how many builders it takes to get up to the structure, since it's very high up and far from where you start. The structure in the level is nice, though.

Marathon 20 - Les 4 clefs d'Anubis Not a bad level by any means, but a really good example of a level that's frowned upon by most in this community due to hidden traps/pickups. I probably sounded more annoyed than I needed to be in my LP, but just to let you know I don't mind hidden stuff, as long as there is some kind of visual clue as to their locations. Of course, as I have pointed out before, I could had simply activated CPM to make my life much easier on this level, but as I generally prefer not to, this ended up being a treasure hunt. Now, there are some visual cues, but they can easily be mistaken for decoration or even that's a natural feature of the tiles/terrain. Also, you mixed up buttons here, where it has already been established that the ankhs are the buttons, but you also mixed it with a heart, again it could had easily been mistaken for decoration. I definitely don't understand why it suddenly appears at the top of the level after you reach it. Of course, the dead giveaway was when I bashed and it wasn't destroyed as I thought it would be.

Again, it's not a bad level, just could be made better by not having the hidden stuff or by making their locations more obvious.

Marathon 21 - Y en a qu'ont essaye... Breather level. Nothing too hard about this.

Marathon 22 - Vestiges mayas Difficult but a great one. I say the hardest part is figuring out how to get the basher pickup. Certainly the hardest part is figuring out how to use your builders wisely. In earlier attempts, I would had been several builders short. I was a dummy on the left side and unnecessarily wasted builders.

Marathon 23 - Le tombeau du Pharaon Another favorite of mine ;) The trick with bashing and using a nearby stoner to bridge the gap to keep the basher going is very clever. Beating the clock was satisfying here. Can be difficult, but it's not that bad at all. I kept trying to release the lemmings trapped at the bottom as early as possible when you can simply make them floaters at first and then make them climbers whenever the path is close to being ready.

Marathon 24 - La crypte Difficult one. Hardest parts were be to get to the button and back without wasting any skills, as well as getting up to the exit. Turns out I missed the trick of using a climber to bomb to get higher than you can normally achieve with builders alone.

Marathon 25 - Jeu de piste morbide Another difficult one but a very good one! :thumbsup: Another favorite of mine despite being a huge builderfest. I absolutely love the puzzle of figuring out the order of getting the pickups and figuring out which athlete skill to apply to which after cloning. It's almost like solving a level with two hatches, one which is a preassign swimmer and climber, the other just a climber. Certainly a lot of things can go wrong here if you're not careful, and I wasn't :crylaugh: It's definitely nowhere near the hardest level of the rank or of the pack, though. There are some Marathon levels and levels in other ranks far harder than this.

Marathon 26 - Le palais de la reine 12 Finally, to close off the rank and the level pack, the 12th and final iteration of a level that appears twice in each rank throughout the whole pack. As a result, it was very easy to expect this as the final level, since the pattern holds up throughout the entire pack. Certainly not the hardest level of the pack for the final level. Honestly, I was expecting a 1 minute time limit, since some of the previous iterations had a 1 minute time limit. I think this would had made it feel more of a final level kind of thing ;) The only hard part is timing the climbers and building in such a way so that you can catch the climbers after they make it past the builder first.   

Marathon 1 : Proxima created this tileset with the tiles from Prince of Persia. Having played this game a lot as a child, I myself wanted to create a level with this tileset, even if, I admit, it's difficult to find your way on these platforms in 3D. :P

Marathon 2 : Alternative solution. There is a slightly easier way to achieve this level (my replay attached).

Marathon 3 : Perfect ! There are plenty of possible paths ; you can solve this level without using all the skills.

Marathon 4 : Bravo ! You can do it more simply at the beginning by having a single worker to do it and, therefore, save more skills. ;P

Marathon 5 : Perfect ! Intended solution, although the stacker is not useful for accessing the button.

Marathon 6 : Little backroute : 2 builders removed in the next update. In fact, in the intended solution, you have to use another path. :lem-shocked:

Marathon 7 and 8 : Intended solution. Well done !

Marathon 9 : Good ! But initially, the intended solution use a glider and a floater. I removed one skill glider and one skill floater in the next update... I often tend to offer too many skills when creating levels. It's silly ! :forehead:

Marathon 10 : Bravo !

Marathon 11 : Backroute : I reworked this level for the next update. :forehead:

Marathon 12 : Well done, but the intended solution was easier, perhaps : it's possible to block the crowd (my replay attached).

Marathon 13 and 14 : Bravo ! Intended solution.

Marathon 15 : Nice alternative solution, simpler but riskier than the one intended. Regarding teleporters/receivers, I think I created the elevator before the existence of IN and OUT. :D

Marathon 16 : Bravo !

Marathon 17, 18 and 19 : Bravo ! Intended solution.

Marathon 20 : I understand the remarks/criticisms, but I like this level different from the others, although I know that this kind of fantasy must be exceptional. I also find it interesting to get players to think differently ! With the advice of IchoTolot, however, I simplified this level to prevent players who don't know Egyptian numbers from being too "confused": the 4 keys are visible and the blocks-symbols to be dug are indicated on both sides. other of the entrance, in order. :P
And I made custom buttons (specially for this level !) : when you pick up a key or the heart, it immediately appears in the reliquary above the exit. You must therefore "fill" the reliquary to unlock the exit, that is to say, find the 4 keys and the heart. Logical ! :laugh:

Marathon 21 : Well done !

Marathon 22 :  Nice alternative solution.

Morning walk

1 - Demi-Tour
Not at all trivial for the first level of a pack. But as a level-solver with some experience it wasn't that hard for me.

2 - Banlieue in London
Probably the most difficult  level of the entire rank and therefore not positioned very well - unless you really planned to place a real obstacle this early in the pack. For a long time I thought I had to free the rightmost blocker with the blocker and save the other ones from this side. But it didn't work, among other things because it's much harder to turn a left-orientated builder directly into a miner compared to a Lemming that builds to the right. Don't understand me wrong: It IS a good level, but very hard for its position.

3 - Au pays d'Aladdin
Easy one. I only used three of the skills, so I don't know if that's really intended.

4 - Dans un salon bourgeois

I like the theme of this level. Harder than the one beforde, but nothing too bad. Didn't use the floaters here. Moreover, I have a special affinity for Two-Lemming-Levels and playing this level, I know why.

5 - Chimie de laboratoire

A demanding one. I like the use of the walker here which gives the pioneer a head start to bash thorugh the final obstacle.

6 - AU SECOURS !!!

A nice variation of "Come on over to my place" from the original Lemmings. I'm generally not the biggest fan of these rebuilds, but at least it was a good challenge. Took me a while.

7 -  DIABLE qu' il fait chaud !!!

Very easy level - the easiest so far. It's just about how to isolate one Lemming and giving him a head start.

8 - Iznogoud

Easy  as well. The trickiest part was to avoid the Zombie and get rid of him.

9 - Épopée cathare

I had my problems with this one. Until I realized that it's possible to mine at the place I did, without creating a hole unintentionally.

10 - Le blizzard

A very easly level as long as one is familiar with the trick that is key here: Cancelling a digger with a miner.

11 - Rien ne sert de courier...

Just a question of how to delay the second Lemming to build without accident over the gap and hurriying up because of the time-limit to reach the exit. Easy.

12 - Le grand plongeon

This is where the fun ends ;) A huge step in diffuculty, but a fantastic level as well. In my opionion this level is relatively backroute-free, the steps have to be done in the exact order - otherwise the player fails. It's a bit of an optical illusion as well since it seems unlikely that a glider can safely land on a bridge here. I'm really impressed with that one.

13 - Dans le palais de la reine 1

The palace of the queen - the first one of many. Probably the easiest of them all, but really a good puzzle!

14 - Bonds et rebonds

A very special level and one that is much harder than it looks. It's not just funny, mindless jumping from wall to wall since the jumpers are scarce. You need them all.

15 - Seuls sur la lune

Tricky one! Didn't realize for a long time, that the crowd can't pass the robot to the left - I thought it belonged to the background. And finally I made this level totally a matter of timing which wasn't really necessary. Took long time to make everything work.

16 - Mosaiques sur roche

Could cause problems probably. But I was on the right track here from the beginning, so this one was a quick solve.

17 - Soyons solidaires !

Kaywhyn was a bit harsh here with you. But as I understood he played this level with the exact same solution before. I didn't. So this visually familiar level felt fresh for me solution-wise. And wasn't trivial to figure out.

18 - Orpiment

Yellow is my favourite colour, so I like this level even because of that. I chose a pretty straightforward approach here which turned out to work. To release the crowd I had to mine down in front of the exit, though.

19 - Tapis roulant

I thought these treadmills here would cause me problems. But it wasn't the case, actually I breezed through this level once I found out how to trap the crowd.

20 - Bonshommes des neiges

A huge roadblock for me and a really ingenious level. The middle-entrance is the trickiest one. It's hard to find a way to delay the Lemmings to build the bridge in time. And it's tempting to use the first lemming from the right to let him climb and activate the button. Which must not be done!

21 - Le Saut

I've seen three different solutions here by Icho, Kaywhyn and myself. Just like Icho, I avoided the blocker which I consider a red herring.

22 - Sur les rocs et les monts

A welcome breather at the right point of time. Nothing special here, this is a very straight-forward level.

23 - Objectif Terre

Looks intimidating because of almost no terrain. But in the end, this one wasn't too bad. The final part was the hardest - to make sure that everybody is landing safe.

24 - Oasis

Looks easier than it is: It's clear that the pioneer has to rescue the crowd from the other side of the palm tree, but since no skills can be wasted here, this one wasn't a cakewalk.

25 - L'ile au tresor

Another roadblock. Kaywhyn warned me from playing the impossible version from an earlier version of the pack. But it was my own fault - I overlooked bombing through the plant beneath the exit for a long time.  Avoiding the Zombie in the end wasn't that hard.

26 - Dans le palais de la reine 2

Great version of this level. It's tempting to save the two Lemmings from the left hatch by building a bridge to the passage - but it doesn't work. You really have to think outside the box here.

Fast walk

1 - Sonic

A bit of a platforming-fest. Not overly complicated, but also not trivial. How to turn around the Lemming in the end after he exits the teleporter is the trickiest part.

2 - A bonds saccades

One of my favourites from the rank. Looks easy, but it's definitely not. For a long time I tried to dig to the button from the top, but that didn't lead to anything good.

3 - Le desintegrateur de lemmings

Reminded me of a level from the Tame-rank of ONML. These tame-levels are a weak spot for me since they were so easy and therefore didn't get stuck in my head. Anyway, a very easy level.

4- La peste verte

That's also true with this one. Nice use of the fencer here who creates the path to the exit and frees the crowd at the same time.

5 - Le grand toboggan

Things are ramping up a bit here. It was quite tricky to trap everyone here so that no one gets lost and to ensure the the builder has enough time to cross the gap. As I used the basher during the first part, I had to use the miner-cancels-miner-trick in the end. Additionaly, I saved a builder.

6 - Morts-vivants

Back to the easier side. One Lemming sacrifices himself to build the stack to contain the zombies. Another one platforms over them. Perfect.

7 - Une jungle tranquille

Very, very demanding. The big question here is how to reach the button and still save this Lemming - which seems pretty impossible with the small number of terrain-removing skills. It's by no means obvious that he can walk up the tree - but he can. Totally different solution by Kaywhyn who went through the bottom-part.

8 - Une chaleureuse chaumière

Another favourite of mine. Took me quite some time and longer than I thought it would. It's pretty ingenious to place the blocker directly underneath the hatch and free him with a faller. Can't think of a different solution. Great level!

9 - En attendent quelqu'un

Easy one and a second-attempt-solve. Still a good level.

10- Nocturne au Lac Majeur

One of the most memorable levels from the rank form. It's visually nice, it plays my favourite tune and it's a good puzzle. Contrary to all the solutions I've seen I started with the five Lemmings at the right side. I even saved a bridge in the end.

11 - Une partie de morpion

Looks intimidating, but in fact, this one was one my quickest solves within the rank. It's actually about how to merge the Lemmings from the three hatches as efficient as possible.

12 - Uranus World !!!

Very easy. I saved so many skills here that I really think this must be backroute. Icho and Kaywhyn brought up very different solutions as well.

13 - Dans le palais de la reine 3

Next iteration of this level and a great one, too. However, I found this one a bit easier than the second one.

14 - 2 lemmings en desherence

For me, a new version of The Great Lemming Caper which is probably my favourite level from the Original game. Although NOTHING beats the (probably) intended version there, this one is a nice variation (which was easy to figure out).

15 - LEGO

Great visuals here. The level itself is not very complicated - as long as one is familiar with the miner/stacker-trick which is most likely needed here.

16 - Prions une main secourable !!!

A level totally based on the Dolly-dimple-trick. So if one know it, it's an easy one. Having said this, I learned the trick much later, since I solved Dolly dimple in a very different manner.

17 - Tour de maître

A repeat of the first level of this pack, this one looked much harder than it actually was. Kaywhyn solution was a bit different from mine - so it seems there's even room for variaton.

18 - Forêt Noire

Certainly a roadblock for me. These timing-based levels are not my biggest strength and therefore I tried a lot of things here which all didn't work. Finally I found a solution which is different from Icho's and Kaywhyn's.

19 - Toile d'araignée

Another repeat from the original game. Took me while. Hardest part was to ensure a safe landing - when I swapped the digger with the bomber it worked suddenly. Like that one.

20 - Un séjour en Enfer

Generally a bit of a breather. Two tricky parts here: The Dolly-Dimple-Trick in the beginning and the necessarity of bridge-stretching - otherwise the player is one bridge short.

21 - Le Roi des neiges

The solution might be a bit obvious, but this is still a favourite of mine. Precision is key here, especially with the building part. I saved on miner here.

22 - Randonée nordique

Probably the easiest level of the rank. I went through the bottom most of the time and therefore saved miner and digger.

23 - Sang de feu

Absolutely great! The placement of the builder-pick-up is devilish. It's a Red Herring, but it doesn't look like one since it's reachable. But if you do, there's no way back. My other problem was that I bashed too high at the bottom so I couldn't bridge the gap with the platformer.

24 - Par-dessus les toits

Repeat from the original game and probably my least favourite of them within this rank. Too much building and the way to go is pretty obvious. Easy level, though.

25 - Une prison marmoréenne

I thought I would have a hard time with this level, but it wasn't the case fortunately. The time-limit can be a big problem here and makes some ideas impossible that would otherwise work with the skillset given.

26 - Dans le palais de la reine 4

For my taste the hardest of the four iterations thus far. The use of the first basher is surprising as well as the fact that the upper exit is not the way to go. Good one!

Running

1 - L'Académie des 9

I normally don't like disjoint unions and here are even nine of them. This made the level a bit confusing at first, but since eight of the isolated Lemmings work (and sacrifice themselves) for a higher goal, it wasn't that bad. That level is a bit playing by itself since there are not my possibilities what to do next and therefore not many dead-ends.

2 - Acrobates

This one nearly brought me to the brink of desparation. I figured it out. Really, I thought, no I KNEW the solution, but it always failed because of one small detail. The digger had to stop at the steel plate, so there's absolutely no way to guarantee the Lemmings from the hatch a safe landing. So I was sure I had to play with the Release Rate to solve this level. But how long it took me to get it right - don't ask me...

3 - Dans un vaisseau spatial

Love this level. The positions of the steel plates make every simple solution impossible. Kaywhyn said that he had a hard time with this level for  - amongst other things -  he wasn't sure whether to clone the miner or the builder. I strangely didn't have this problem - since in cases of doubt, I always think of the miner first which brought me on the right track here. The rest fell into place right soon - so as much as I like this level, it wasn't a difficult one for me.

4 - La lac

Ridiculously easy one. Don't know what the gilder and floater are good for. Apart from the time-limit, there's no big challenge here.

5 - Espace en distorsion

Not very complicated as well. It's a bit try and error at first, but once you know where the teleporters go and which one must be used in the end, it's obvious how to use the five bridges.

6 - Un forage original

A nuke-solution came to my mind immediately - and a nuke-solution it was. When I started playing NeoLemmix, this level would have caused me major problems. But things improve over time...

7 - Les 3 foreurs

Wow, that's really a nice version of the Hero-Time-level. There's no leeway at all in positioning the first two diggers. That's normally a point of criticism, but here's it's specified by the layout of the original level. Nice work!

8- Planeurs à la dérive

Hard one. Tried to build the bridge from the bottom to the left as a splatform, but it failed by one step. Took me long time to see that the splatform must be built from a different spot.

9 - Les marche de l'invisible

Quite an easy one. Since I was a walker short during my first attempts, I decided to build a splatform with my surplus builder instead of using another blocker (which I wouldn't have to release). Icho solved it differently, though.

10 - Architecture de fantaisie

Again, an easy but very nice one. Since I was able to isolate a worker Lemming, I don't see the purpose of the two climbers, though. Maybe they are supposed to lead on the wrong path ;)

11 - Sur la banquise

One is tempted to immediately turn the first Lemming around (with building into the ground) to save these from the hatch as soon as possible. But in this case, the bridge will be missed in the end. Five losses are allowed for a reason here. Nice and not overly hard level.

12 - Scenario de film d'horreur

It's really horror, that level. With the reduction of the number of builders by the factor of ten, this one is WAY too hard for it's position and even for the rank. There's no good puzzle here, it's just about maxing out the NeoLemmix-mechanics to the extreme - with no leeway at all. Sorry, not a good level.

13 - Dans le palais de la reine 5

Can be tricky, but it's really just a matter of delaying the Lemmings from the left hatch and then finding the most efficient path to the exit.

14- Shinto

Love it! One of the best levels in the entire pack so far. Especially the way to get to the button is magnificient.

15- Les hieroglyphes mystérieuses

Is much harder than it looks actually. Trickiest part is to avoid having the Lemmings caught in a loop when the exit is open. Seems like there are several solutions here.

16- Le Pont des Soupirs

Had issues loading this level since a piece was missing. Kaywhyn helped me out of this situation. While this level looks beautiful indeed, the solution feels a bit hackish - as do the other solutions I've seen (they all are quite similar and vary only in details).

17- La Princesse au petit pois

Very nice and not too difficult one. It requires a bit timing to bring exactly two Lemmings into the pit. Also, I initially placed the digger to reach the cloner wrong - so that the cloned basher didn't stop later. Once I fixed this, I got the solution.

18- Hansel et Gretel

Tricky level and another one that seems to be adjusted by David. When I compared my solution to Icho's and Kaywhyn's I was surprised they had a climber available. That made both of their solutions pretty different. It's a good level. The only thing I don't like is the final bridge around the corner. That's because the blocker has to be placed in a way that he can later be freed and turned around by the two walkers without falling off the bridge. To accomplish that, the Lemming who is supposed to be the blocker has to arrive at an opportune moment. In case of the wrong point of time he will always either crash or the builder will build through the blocker. This was hard to manage.

19- La bibliothèque du chateau

A welcome breather after the level before. The only hard part was how to prevent the crowd from walking back to the entrance and thus, how to solve the level in time. Didn't really know that a Lemming could build a full bridge out of a 1-pixel-digger-hole. But yeah, it worked.

20 - Nuit d'etoiles

Another easy one, though it looks a bit intimidating at first. A lot of skills are not necessary, though.

21 - Luminaires

Just like Icho, I neither used the pick-up-skill nor went I through the one-way-wall. Still a different solution. I like the chandeliers here.

22 - Cache-cache

Not many problems here. Key is the climber here which is a Red-Herring-skill in my opinion and must not be assigned to any of the two Lemmings.

23 - La prison d'Andromède

The two blockers have been removed here which makes the level an extra challenge. It's one of the kind I'm not particularly good at, but with a bit of try and error it was doable.

24 - Dos crawle

Had a hard time with this one until I realized that it's possible to stop the Lemmings going right without the use of a blocker. From that point onwards the level was easy as I had figured out the rest of the solution before.

25 - Dos crawle

Very nice level! I was a such a dummy here since I overlooked the purpose of the climber and the glider completely. In fact, it's the only viable way to turn a Lemming around.

26 - Dans le palais de la reine 6

Not the hardest iteration of this level to finish off the rank. At this point of time, we know our Red-Herring-pick-ups. It's obvious that the additional builder is unreachable.

Use 5 builders for the left side and only two builders to release the neutral. Also hit the left button first before doing the rest of the level.

100 metres

1 - Il neige...

Brilliant level in my opinion. I'm suprised that I didn't have many problems here. Solutions differ a bit though while Icho's probably the intended one. I also like the title in all its laconicism.

2 - Comme Tarzan...

Very easy level and a builderfest. The only tricky part is how to not run out of bashers, but even that is actually quite obvious.

3 - Peur pourpre

Another easy one. My solution is pretty much timing-based, but I think it has to be like this.

4 - Maison hantée

Deceivingly difficult level. None of the obvious ways work. Luckily I learned the bashing-trick early while solving "Cavern of Chills" in Lemmings Plus 1. Even with this knowledge it was tricky to find the appropriate distances between the Lemmings.

5 - Le parc d'attraction

Hard level. My solution is closer to Kaywhyn's than Icho's though not quite identical. I wonder if David adjusted the level a bit since in my case I found it impossible to mine out the upper neutral crowd directly - even with two bombers at the wall. I had to blow up the shimmier.

6 - Une escalade coopérative

Favourite of mine! After trying to brute-force this level (which didn't work) I eventually found the solution which is really elegant. A very well-thought level.

7 - Comme un poisson dans l'eau

Much easier than the previous three. I overlooked that they are preassigned swimmers at first, but once I realized that they only tricky part was to get the crowd out of the water.

8 - Renaissance

This is a classic worker-Lemming-level from a kind which is pretty rare nowadays. This was a bit irritating at first since I thought there must be more behind it - but it's actually not.  Because of the few terrain-removing-skills, this level is still not a cakewalk. It's clear that the upper route is the way to go here.

9 - Les temps modernes

These gears - or "tooth wheels" as we call them in German ;) - are somewhat of a pain here because of all these tiny gaps, but the provided skills are more than enough to construct a route to the exit. An open-ended level and also a bit of a breather.

10 - L' énigme des Pharaons

The solution here caught me a bit by surprise. I thought all of the gliders and floaters had to be used here. But eventually it dawned to me that especially the Floaters are without any purpose. Tricky level in my opinion.

11 - Chevauchée forestière

Another level that has been altered. I found this one hard, not so much the left, but the right side. Building up with only four builders (instead of five) was a real challenge.

12 - Salle de bal

Relatively easy, but a very, very nice level. Fortunately, I'm quite familiar with the main trick here. Biggest problem: I tried to solve the level from the wrong side at first.

13 - Dans le palais de la reine 7

To be honest, probably the easiest of all iterations of this level so far. Not much of a problem here.

14 - Stalactites

A breather as well. Using stacks is the only possibility to reach the narrow gap, I guess

15 - Petit Ponts

A huge time-cruncher. I almost did it without the swimmer, but couldn't make it on time this way. So I changed my strategy a bit, but it was still very close. Great level, though - especially since there's always action in different parts of the scenery.

16 - Sable chaud

Hard level. I tried to force a right-exit-solution, but it failed by one Lemming, no matter what I did. I must say the solution is pretty ingenious, but it took me long time to figure it out.

17 - Parcours accrobranche

Looks easier than it actually is. An extra-builder must be saved somewhere and I did this in the beginning by building over the gap and stopping the digger at the same time (with one bridge). Once I found that out, the rest was no problem anymore.

18 - Le Labyrinthe de Minos

Easy level. The trickiest part was to avoid the second climber to bump his head on the platform, so the first climber had to make an extra lap. And both still reached the exit in time though I got my apprehensions before...

19 - Le mur de briques

I thought I could send one of the climbers through the bottom, but I was wrong.  I thought both diggers had to be used at the middle block, but I was wrong, again. So it seems the proper use of the blocker is absolute key here which is hard to see and therefore makes this level a very difficult one.

20 - Double je

After some initial problems this one wasn't that bad. When I thought I had it I wasn't able to bring the climber down again - until I realized that I used the miner at the wrong place. So I swapped him with a digger.

21 - Un serpent siffle sur leur tête

I had my problems with this one. The number of jumpers has been reduced from 15 to 10, the builders from 3 to 2. There are several ways to go through the left side with the pioneer  - you can end up with 4 jumpers and no shimmiers left as well as with 2 shimmers and no jumpers. But I think at least 2 jumpers are necessary for the right side and I had to use a special trick there to make it with 2 builders only.

22 - Palais d'Orient

Much easier though a bit fiddly at times. Especially the needles trip. Also, the clone-builder must not turn around - otherwise the walkers run short.

23 - Le mot code

Easy one  - as long as one knows the key-trick here (which is one of my favourites).

24 - Blue Lagoon

Tricky one. This level does a good job in misleading the player. I thought I had to use the upper path, but it didn't work (I've seen later that Eric found a way to do it this way). Then I used a more straithforward approach. I ignored the climber-pickup as well.

25 - Boutons de rose

Huge time-cruncher. Key here is the use of the digger which makes the wall climbable for the swimmer. As well, one must not tempt to use the walker too early - i.e. to accelerate one Lemming at the top a bit. That skill should be preserved until the very end.

25 - Dans le palais de la reine 8

Nice iteration of this level, again. Not easy to figure out, that one.

400 metres

1 - La fée Clochette

From a visual point of view, a very good-looking level. As a puzzle, I'm not so sure, though. This one felt very hackish. Still took me a while though the path was quite clear from the beginning.

2 - Au Royaume des joyaux

Looks a bit unspectacular at first, but is a very good level. I've seen several solutions here, but in my case the key was to let the pioneer turn around at the leftmost pillar first an THEN make him a climber. This saved a builder to make him stop climbing over this pillar and die - and this additional builder was necessary to build over the purple crystals from the left side (since one bridge is not enough there).

3 - Fuite d'eau

With only 20 builders and 10 bashers left, this level is significantly harder now and wasn't a cakewalk at all. In fact, I found it a real challenge to find a suitable path through all the pipes.

4 - Dare-dard

Not an easy one for me. I found it tricky to get rid of the zombies here. It's also kind of an open-ended level when I compare th solutions.

5 - Bienvenue au Parthénon

Ok, this one was a step up in difficulty. After some vain attempts I realized that the upper route for everyone is the only viable path. But then the biggest obstacle was to save the blocker. After having solved so many levels which made use of this trick, I wonder why I didn't see the solution earlier. For sure, a very decent level.

6 - Dans les steppes glacées

Basically an easy level which unfortunately includes elements I'm not particularly good at. Several solutions possible here. Having said this, it's not possible anymore to bash underneath the entire level since the gap in front of the final pile of snow is too deep now. I tried a basher-extension with a platformer there, but it didn't work.

7 - Compétences

Tricky one, especially since there is only one builder available which could be well used at two spots at least. Later I thought that the disarmer could be a red herring and I had to bash out the crowd - but I was wrong.

8 - Larmes de givre

A very easy level. Don't know if it's intended this way - if so, the basher is a red herring.

9 - Amor

Wow, that one looked intimidating at first. I had no idea how to bring a Lemming past the first gap - until it dawned on me. And then, everything fell into place somehow. Good level!

10 - L'arbre des songes

Breather level and a builderfest. I was surprised to hear the Awesome-music here for the first time in this pack. While I like this tune, I think it doesn't go very well with this tileset. The level before would have been a much better fit (just my opinion).

11 - Forêt psychédélique

This one resembles Fast walk 18 ("Forêt noir"), but I found it much easier. Almost a first-attempt-solve here. Nice visual design, though.

12 - Près du port d'Alexandrie

Easy one as long as the plays economically and doesn't waste the skills. I had six builders left in the end. There's a typo in the title.

13 - Dans le palais de la reine 9

A very easy version of this level. It's just about catching the climbers with a builder.

14 - Nougatine à gogo

One of the best from this rank so far. A very clever puzzle which forces the player to do all the steps in a particulate order. Probably backroute-proof and a fine example of great-level-making.

15 - Tic et Tac

Easy one though I was a bit stupid here in the beginning. Had my problems with the first obstacle until I realized that I wouldn't run out of miners when I use two of the three there. Nice visual design here!

16 - Temple au Tibet

Visually stunning, but the puzzle doesn't keep pace with it. It's mainly a builderfest with almost no leeway. The provided skills here have been altered significantly. There are two miners now, but no basher and fencer. Additionaly, the number of builders had been reduced from 20 to 12.

17 - Le phare

Another very easy, almost trivial level. But I must admit that it looks really fine. That's the tileset from Agony, the old Amiga game. You control an owl there - it's the same owl which flutters through this level.

18 - Mystère sous l'évier

A very nice puzzle. Contrary to Icho I did all the work with only one Lemming, starting with the right side. Thus, I was able to save the entire crowd. However, there is still one element in this level, I really can't stand. And this is the presence of the miner-cancels-miner mechanics. I don't like it since it can not be triggered reliably - it depends on the position of the first miner within its animation. As so often I tried at least half an hour to make it work and although the solution was crystal-clear. So no, not one of my favourite levels.

19 - Le Chateau Rose

Again, very nice artistry here, but an almost nonexistent puzzle. This level is very straightforward and therefore provided no big challange. If any, then the trapping of the crowd.

20 - Lavomatique

Trickier than I thought. While it was clear that I had to make a bomber hole in the wall and to build a bridge from there, I thought I had to do this with the pre-assigend climber for a long time. But this took too much time. When I found out that this is the job of the second glider, the rest of the level wasn't that hard anymore.

21 - Bonbons

Hard one. In my first attempts I tried something like Icho, but I didn't pull it off and failed. Then I decided the builder-pickups to be Red Herrings and I put my entire efforts into the left side. Biggest problem was to turn around the miner in the end since I had run out of constructive skills. But ultimately I managed to spare a platformer somehow and that was the final piece of the mosaic.

22 - E-toiles

Nice level, which is fun to play. It's a bit on the easier side since the path is strictly predetermined - except for the beginning which was the hardest part for me.

23 - Le prisonnier d'Alcatraz

For me, a hard one. This was mainly because I placed the first stacker at the wrong place so that I had to build an additional bridge from the left to make the "prisoner" pass it. Therefore, I ran out of builders.

24 - Eldorado

I really like this level. I was an idiot here because I overlooked the pillar at the right side. Thus, I thought I had to use the stacker there to prevent the digger from walking out of the level. The real use of the stacker was the hardest part to find out.

25 - À pas feutrés

Not an easy level, a specific type I'm normally not particular good at. I was not able to get rid of any of the zombies, so I had to bypass them. Very good visuals here and I also like the title of this level which fits perfectly.

26 - Das le palais de la reine 10

One of my favourite iterations of this level. This is really nice and well-hidden. Good job, here!

Marathon

1 - Prince of Persia

Yeah, I remember this game from my childhood though I never played it seriously. I didn't like the time-limit which was very tight and demotivated me. This level here wasn't too bad, though. The special button-technique here irritated my at first, but I got used to to it. I think the level offers some fine optical illusions when you are familiar with the platform game. The iron gate at the top is a good example for this. I really wanted to let the pioneer just walk thorugh it - not possible in the Lemmings cosmos, of course.

2 - Aqualand

Great level! There are lots of ways which ALMOST work, but not quite. I thought I had it for several times, just to realize that I'm still an inch away. But, as I could see, there are more solutions than just one. The final part is actually the same, but the beginnings are pretty different from each other.

3 - Le morpion piège

Easy one and not much harder than its predecessor. I spared two skills, but I think this level is actually open-ended.

4 - Parcours-Puce

Looks intimidating, but is actually a very easy one, a second-attempt solve. I've seen that I could have saved one more platformer, though. There's no need for two pioneers here since the upper crowd can be released after everything else is done.

5 - Porte close chez le Sheriff

Tricky level. Hardest part was to find a way around the teleporter. I tried a lot of things here and many attempts failed by small details only. There's still more than only one solution possible.

6 - Retour au XVe siècle

Not a great puzzle, but still a demanding level. I created the path in such a way that I never had to turn a platformer into a miner - because this creates a small gap which prevents a Lemmings to walk into the opposite direction. That's when the three builders joined the game.

7 - Une houleuse aventure

Incredibly easy. There've been harder levels in the first rank of this pack

8 - En apesanteur

Beautiful level. It can be tricky due to the glider-mechanics, though - but it's actually not as hard as it looks. Don't know if the time-limit is really necessary here.

9 - Soleil d'hiver

The number of gliders and floaters has been reduced by one each. I found this level challenging. The pick-up is hard to reach, and it seems to be impossible to do so from the left side since in this case, the Lemming can't turn around and will die in the trap. Additionally, there is no way to interrupt platformers here, so two Lemmings have to do the job in a pretty creative way. The sun behind the cloud looks like a fried egg :)

10 - Soucoupes violentes

Without a doubt, the hardest level of the pack so far for me. It caused me to take a break from Lemmings over Christmas and when I came back it still took me a long time to solve it. This is a truly unique, fantastic level. Really a piece of art (in terms of the puzzle, not visually).

11 - Nuit cauchemardesque

Much easier than the previous one, but still not trivial. It's a level with free-roaming Lemmings, so it's actually key here to work with the Release Rate. The provided skills here a really tight.

12 - Miam miam !

Interesting level. I thought I would spend a lot of time here, but then it wasn't that bad. To save a platformer I tried to seal off the very small gap at the bottom-left side by placing the cloner a bit more to the left. But instead key for me was to bomb the swimmer at the right point of time so that the right-facing platformer wouldn't stop his work at the pillar.

13 - Dans le palais de la reine 11

The first level of the Queen's palace series I really had problems with. I had a strange feeling that the solution can't include the bottom of the level because of this small gap in the pillar. Don't know if it's intended, though.

14 - Halloween

Wow, that was hard one. I tried a million things to make it work. The result is not nearly as elegant as Icho's and feels pretty hackish, but hey .... a solution is a solution. Also, a nice-looking level!

15 - Mission secrète au Sahara

Very nice level here without any terrain-removing skills. I saw that the stoner had been killed in a later fix, but I think this was a good decision since this skill was superfluous here. It's not so hard to save all - although some time-critical precision is needed in the end.  I realised that the Lemmings don't just turn around when they reach the surface of the conveyor belt, but already before, while in air. Didn't know that so far.

16 - Morts vs Vivants

This one gave me knots in the brain. Different from Icho and Kaywhyn, but I think we all made use of the fact that the distribution of the zombies is not quite even. One gap is larger than the others - which explains the slow start of my replay since I was waiting for that gap.

17 - Souk

Very, very nice. Not too difficult, but not trivial either. The skills must be used wisely and can't be swapped around. For example I used a builder where the stoner belongs to which has the same effect. But then the builder was missed somewhere else. Red-herring pick up skills seem to be your specialty ;)

18 - Cyber-machin-truc

One of the levels I didn't have a clue what to do here in the beginning due to the unfamiliar tileset. I didn't even figure out where the exit is - and once I reached it, it was locked. But later I realized that the level is pretty open-ended as I had a ton of skills left.

19 - L' amulette

This must be the longest bridge I've ever built. Don't like the level for obvious reasons. It's boring to build bridges like this though I must admit that the second part of the level on the castle is more fun to play. It's the glider mechanics that make it tricky. I like how the Lemmings floats to the exit, though.

20 - Les 4 clefs d'Anubis

It took me ages to even find the climber-pickup, I still don't get the mechanics of the heart. I fully agree with kaywhyn here. All information have to be on the table at the start of the level. This excludes hidden traps as well as hidden pickups. Apart from that I had a ton of skills left in the end, so it's not a even a great puzzle. Don't like this level.

21 - Y en a qu'ont essayé...

Maybe not the most difficult level of the rank, but I like it. Especially the way the two zombies are trapped is really great. This tileset deserves more levels as well.

22 - Vestiges mayas

Very hard one which led me on the wrong path more than once. I was deeply convinced that a non-glider has to build the final bridges to the basher-pickup and the exit as I vainly tried to land on the stoner. This required a third pioneer, and I tried a lot of things to bring one over the top, but I failed. Until I found out that my first approach was the right one. Great level which is much more difficult than it looks, especially with the reduced number of bridges.

23 - Le tombeau du Pharaon

This one wasn't as bad as I thought. Didn't know what the five climbers are good for - until I saw the solutions of Kaywhyn and Icho. So I guess my solution is a bit of a backrote or at least a bit different.

24 - La crypte

Another hard one as the provided skills are scarce, especially the builders. For most of the time I wished my only glider could be at two spots at the same time. But the breakthrough was when I found a new way to reach the button - one that used up only two builders and made it still possible for the Lemming to come back. I think key here is to bring all the steps into the right order. And sometimes the levels gives hints that you are on the right track. For example the glider landing directly in the miner's tunnel right above the hatch.

25 - Jeu de piste morbide

Wow, this level had it all. A very difficult one in my opinion for many reasons. First, the order of the steps is absolutely key here, again. So although the glider and floater pickup is collected first it must not be assigned before the cloner pickup is used as we need both - a glider and floater. The glider is needed to go for the swimmer, but on his way back - even though it's tempting - he can't become the swimmer because this skill is reserved for the floater. Otherwise there's no way out after collecting the basher-pickup (only the floater can go for this). And generally spoken: Because of the huge amount of bridges there's a danger that the two Lemmings imprison themselves inadvertently. And the most devilish thing: If you place the very first bridge wrong in such a way that the upper end lies on the steel ground of the higher platform you can start over again - as in this case you would need two bashers to solve the level. That's very annoying if you realize this just before the end.

26 - Dans le palais de la reine 12

In a good Lemmings-tradition the final level of a pack is rarely the hardest, but more of a reward to have come thus far. I would say this level is not even the hardest of the Queens-palace-levels. But I expected this a bit and it's a good finish in my opinion.

2 - Banlieue in London
Well done ! This was the intended solution. Indeed, the backgrounds and tiles blend together. It's not very pleasant. I agree, this level is a bit difficult for a level 2. I swapped it with Running 4.

3 - Au pays d'Aladdin
Yes, that was the intended solution.

4 - Dans un salon bourgeois
OK ! There is a simpler solution by going from the top and slowing down the second lemming (you have to make him « dig » the earthworm).
See my replay.

6 - AU SECOURS !!!
In the solution intended, we use the miner instead of the bomber.

9 - Epopee cathare
Yes. You can also use the digger instead of the stopper at the beginning. And the climber is not necessary.

12 - Le grand plongeon
THANKS ! Yes, I admit, I had fun imagining a slightly convoluted solution for this one.

21 - Le saut
In fact, the stopper is a red herring. However, the solution intended was slightly different from yours. Well done !

1 - Sonic
There is a much easier solution : turn the lemmings using the tree (the palm tree) so that it goes through the "IN" portal from the right.

5 - Le grand toboggan
Well done ! Using the basher this way in the beginning was a really good idea !

7 - Une jungle tranquille
Your solution is the same as what I considered. Good job.

10 - Nocturne au Lac Majeur
Nice alternative solution.

12 - Uranus World !!!
Yes, it's a backroute ! I had never considered that we could climb this way.
I just fixed the problem.

17 - Tour de maitre
Yes, several solutions are possible.

18 - Foret noire
Interesting solution. You will find attached the two solutions that I had imagined at this level, one is easy, the other difficult.
See my replays.

22 - Randonnee nordique
Nice alternative solution. In any case, the solution intended was not much more complicated either.

23 - Sang de feu
Good job ! This was the solution I had planned. The pick-up builder is truly evil !!!

4 - Le lac

QuoteI don't know what the gilder and floater are for.

They are of no use. I swapped this level with Morning 2 to make the pack more balanced.

10 - Architecture de fantaisie
This is exactly the expected solution. Yes, climbers are red herring.

12 - Scenario de film d'horreur
Initially, this level used rising water, which I then had to replace with acid (to keep the "horror" aspect), but it became less "interesting". It's true, it's a difficult level to achieve with just enough builders, but... your solution is more complicated than the one I had planned. Besides, I had fun redoing the level using only one digger. I decided to keep the level as is (I like it that way !), but to replace it with Marathon 7, considered too easy.
See my replay.

13 - Le palais de la reine 5
Well done, this is not the solution I had imagined. Actually, to make it simpler, you can make the second incoming lemming dig (basher), so that it lands on the platform below.
See my replay.

15 - Les hieroglyphes mysterieuses
Well done ! Your solution looks a bit like the one I intended, but I know that there are, in fact, many solutions, each as difficult as the last (IchoTolot's solution is great !).
See my (and his) replay.

16 - Le Pont des Soupirs
I agree, it's not an interesting puzzle...

18 - Hansel et Gretel
Yes, I noticed that with the climber, the solution was too easy !

19 - La bibliotheque du chateau
Well done, but there is a simpler solution, without using the floater. You don't have to ask a lemming to climb the bookcase.
See my replay.

20 - Nuit d'etoiles

QuoteA lot of skills are not necessary, though

Yes, it's true.

21 - Luminaires
Whao ! A very very very complicated solution ! In the much easier solution I imagined, only two skills are needed (the pick-up skill is a red herring).
See my replay.

22 - Cache-cache

QuoteKey is the climber here which is a Red-Herring-skill in my opinion and must not be assigned to any of the two Lemmings.

Yes, that's how I imagined it. Well done !

23 - La prison d'Andromede
Perfect !

1 - Il neige
This is more or less the intended solution, an alternative solution.
See my replay.

3 - Peur pourpre
Another (easier ?) solution is possible : the first lemming that runs along the path can also block the two zombies at the bottom.
See my replay.

5 - Le parc d'attraction
Nice solution, a little different from mine.

10 - L'enigme des Pharaons
I think this is a deceptively hard level. I'm surprised it caused you any difficulty !

15 - Petits ponts
I didn't think it was possible to do it in a minute using the swimmer (see my replay). However, as the timing is quite tight, I decided to reset the initial time limit (1 minute 15).
See my replay.

19 - Le mur de briques
Yes, well done, this is the intended solution.

21 - Un serpent siffle sur leur tete

QuoteThere are several ways to go through the left side with the pioneer  - you can end up with 4 jumpers and no shimmiers left as well as with 2 shimmers and no jumpers.

You are right ! This is the intended solution.

22 - Palais d'Orient
Slightly different solution than I had initially planned.
See my replay.

24 - Blue Lagoon
Well done ! Your solution is a bit easier than mine. Yes, Eric solved the level very differently, but his solution nevertheless seems quite complicated to me. But... congratulations to him !

25 - Boutons de rose
Well done ! This was the intended solution.

2 - Au Royaume des joyaux
Good, but we can still save a builder.
See my replay.

3 - Fuite d'eau
Well done ! It was a level that had « rising water » before, which made the climb much more « challenging ».

4 - Dare-dard
Yes, many solutions are possible.
See my replay.

5 - Bienvenue au Parthenon
Yes, the only difficulty in this level is how to save the blocker. Good job !

6 - Dans les steppes glacees
This is exactly the solution I had imagined.

7 - Competences
Once again, this is exactly the solution I had imagined. Well done !

8 - Larmes de givre
Yes, the basher is a red herring. Your solution is the same as mine. Other players told me this level was easy too. However, I don't find it that easy...

11 - Foret psychedelique
Your solution is slightly different from mine. Indeed, this level is not that difficult.
See my replay.

12 - Pres du port d'Alexandrie
Well done for succeeding with so few builders. Um no, there's no typo in the title ! Well, I don't think so.

14 - Nougatine a gogo
This is exactly the solution I had imagined. Well done !

15 - Tic et tac
Once you understand the first obstacle, the rest flows naturally...

17 - Le phare
That's right, the level is too easy.

18 - Mystere sous l'evier

QuoteHowever, there is still one element in this level, I really can't stand. And this is the presence of the miner-cancels-miner mechanics.

The intended solution doesn't use this mechanic (which I don't like either !). But... by using it, we save all the lemmings. So, well done !
See my replay.

21 - Bonbons
Wow ! Funny solution.

QuoteThen I decided the builder-pickups to be Red Herrings and I put my entire efforts into the left side.

In fact, it's not ! You can take a look at the solutions from IchoTolot and kaywhyn, which are very close to the one I intended. I just fixed the problem.

2 - Aqualand
Nice solution, close to the one I imagined.

3 - Le morpion piege

QuoteI spared two skills, but I think this level is actually open-ended.

Yes, but I didn't think it could be solved so "easily".

5 - Porte close chez le Sheriff
The solution I planned is the same as that proposed by kaywhyn. It's more... fluid. But yours works well, too.

7 - Une houleuse aventure
It's true, it's too easy a level for a « Marathon ». So, I exchanged this level for a more difficult level.

8 - En apesanteur

QuoteDon't know if the time-limit is really necessary here.

I find that it gives additional tension at this level...

9 - Soleil d'hiver
Yes, you are right about everything (even that the cloud and the sun look like a fried egg). For information, in the intended solution, I save three platformers.
See my replay.

10 - Soucoupes violentes
Yes, I really like this level as well. Nothing is obvious.

12 - Miam miam !
Good game. The intended solution was slightly different.

13 - Le palais de la reine 11
Unexpected solution, quite convoluted. You can see kaywhyn's solution.

16 - Morts vs Vivants
Nice solution !

For levels Marathon 17, Marathon 19 and Marathon 21, it's perfect, you have found the intended solution.

Regarding Marathon 18, I fixed the problem. In fact, this is a level that initially used the "freeze after 10 seconds", which made it much more difficult to execute, with very precise timing. Your comment (mentioning the locked door), made me smile. :P

Marathon 20: This apparently complicated (or convoluted ???) level is not that difficult. In its initial form, you had to find the keys hidden behind the Egyptian numbers between 20 and 100, which was quite difficult for those who did not know them.
But in its current form, you just need to carefully observe the reliquary and the indications on either side of the exit: first, you have to bash the "waves" block and second, you have to bash the "beetle" block. In addition, you have to bring back the four keys and find the heart (it's easy, you have to bash the "heart" block), the only organ that was left in the body of the deceased before mummification. :thumbsup:
Okay, it's not very obvious ! :-[

For Marathon 22, I chose to limit the number of builders to prevent the level from being able to be solved like this, but congratulations, I now challenge you to complete the level with only 16 builders. With good timing, it is doable !
You will find my solution in the attachment, because I don't think I have already shared it on the forum.

Marathon 23: Well done. Indeed, the two pick-up skills are red herrings. But it's my fault, I shouldn't have added them. To fix the issue, I added two "steel" blocks. :evil::evil::evil:

Marathon 24: Good analysis. Solution intended.

Marathon 25: Once again, good analysis of the level. I like to imagine puzzles with the gilder and the floater (the level Tic et tac, for example). As these are permanent skills, you can't go back by assigning a parachute to a glider, and vice versa. This can become a real headache. I had a lot of fun designing it, this level.
Furthermore, I suggest you look at my solution, a little simpler than yours!

Marathon 26: Yes, well done!
