Lemmings Forums

01/ Haute Voltige
This is french, meaning "acrobatic act". At first this level required a trick involving a floater turning around mid-air with a hanging blocker and a well-timed bomber. But as I originally made this level for Lemmini, at some point I decided this was too tedious to pull off and completely changed the solution. Now it's an easy level. Easy levels are nice too. :crylaugh:

02/ VDNKh
The title is a reference to the video game / book Metro 2033. VDNKh is a Russian metro station where some of the plot takes place. At the center of the map you can see a defense post with a flamethrower and a barricade. Further on the right a breach goes deep into the unknown, from which creatures may come out. :scared:

03/ What the Frick Frack Patty Wack?
This one was just to showcase this odd (but fun) basher on steel behaviour.

04/ Sandstones May Break My Bones
Easiest level of the pack that only exists for its sequel... (see: Incipio 15 below)

05/ Formal Semantics of Modal Logics
This is a simple inversion. The over-the-top layout and title are just to make it look more convoluted than it is. :evil:

06/ Quid Pro Quo
Just tried to make a lovely little puzzle here. Sometimes I find it harder to make good easy puzzles and I'm happy when I manage to stay focused on a simple idea without overcomplicating it.

07/ Smells Like Team Spirit
This is your typical basher level! I really love those, and I tried to make this one interesting and fun to figure out. I think the reference in the title is obvious?

08/ As not easy as it doesn't look
This level is broken and needs serious maintenance. It may disappear in a later version of the pack. :-\

09/ Brace Yourself, Fall is Coming
First made for Lemmini, with a self-made rightward entrance. Its title is a reference to Game of Thrones' famous motto ("Brace Yourself, Winter is Coming").

10/ RELEASE THE KRAKEN
This is purely a layout oriented level. I just wanted to make a giant octopus for some reason. :crylaugh:

11/ Bridges in the Sky
The title is a song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeg7Ycyp-hk) by Dream Theater. I tried to build a layout inspired by this but I'm not really satisfied with the result.

12/ Mountains
Here is a heavy reference to one specific scene from the movie Interstellar. I'm not a fan of this movie but that scene stuck with me ever since and I thought it would be interesting to try and depict it in NeoLemmix.

13/ Something Wicked This Way Comes
Reference to the novel by Ray Bradbury.

14/ Architects of Fortune
Using the chain terrain piece to its full potential! The title is a reference to this song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFzFdCnnT2E) by Circus Maximus.

15/ Been There, Done That
First sequel, where bashers are now miners! An easy level though. (see: Incipio 04 above)

16/ Novelty Act
Another try to extend the basher capacity. This level is clearly gimmicky. Also I got the title here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XKGRjE6bxh4).

17/ Paucity
Just a little puzzle with a few skills. This is the very first level I created for this project!

18/ Ethereal Refinery
No idea how I came up with this title. I guess the lemmings flowing down made me think of droplets running down a still? :crylaugh:

19/ Convoi Prioritaire
This is french, I guess you could translate it is "priority convoy". The idea being that the crowd must not be stopped nor turned around. Make way for the Lemming train!

20/ Graph Theory
Initially assigned to a "bonus" rating, this level isn't just about lucky die and retry if you know how... The design here is quite simple yet resembles a pre-Columbian temple. Its title is a reference to the mathematical theory of interconnected objects.

01/ A Good Lem is a Dead One
My very first Fiat Lem! level, harder to complete on Lemmini (due to bomb timing).

03/ The Wall
Minimalist design on purpose. Its minimalist title is a reference to Game of Thrones' giant ice wall.

05/ Fire & Blood
Part one of a diptych whose gimmick is to have two entirely identical levels (including skills) with just one little difference: entrance and exit were switched! (see: Proficio 15 below)

08/ Snowpiercer
A well-known technique that requires meticulous preparation here. Snowpiercer is a French comic world famous for its cinematographic adaptation.

10/ Ancient Astronauts
Having only one builder forces you to use your miners and diggers wisely. One of my favorite designs, due to its simplicity; the structures made of bricks and stairs somewhat resemble the idea I have of an alien spaceship, hence the title.

12/ Paved With Good Intentions
I always loved puzzles with only a few builders, the poor creatures having no choice but to wander through the level. I guess blockers can be more than just single-use. As the proverb says, what is "paved with good intentions" is the road to... hell.

14/ Latecomers
If it had not been for the low release rate, that level would have been of little interest, except for its design that mimics 3D graphics.

15/ Blood & Fire
Part two of a diptych whose gimmick is to have two entirely identical levels (including skills) with just one little difference: entrance and exit were switched! That second puzzle is supposed to be slightly harder to complete, not enough for the Scando rating though (see: Proficio 05 above)

17/ Bad Reflections
Punny title (a lot of my levels include symmetrical layout though... and punny titles); made easy by its limited room for maneuver... and the conversion to NeoLemmix. The gallows isn't really a problem here, is it?

20/ Eclectic Power
Two nearly identical halves that must be solved differently (hence the punny title). Maybe a little too difficult for the Proficio rating.

Incipio rank

1 Haute Voltige - nothing special. It's a pretty good standard easy level to start off the pack.

2 VDNKh - open-ended, anyway-you-want level with more than enough skills. What does the title means though? ???

3 What the Frick Frack Patty Wack? - I have no idea what all the climbers/floaters are for. nice introduction level of the trick of a basher sliding up a steel slope. 8-)

4 Sandstones May Break My Bones - simple but clever puzzle. The talisman timelimit is pretty tight. :thumbsup:

5 Formal Semantics of Modal Logics - pretty much a self-solving level. The layout of the level is absolutely beautiful! :thumbsup:

6 Quid Pro Quo - nice puzzle with minimal skillset. ;)

7 Smells Like Team Spirit - probably the first difficulty spike of the pack. You really have to think how and where to distribute specialist lemmings to achieve the talisman. :thumbsup:

8 As not easy as it doesn't look - This feels backrouty. My solution is hackish and only use half of the builders.

9 Brace Yourself, Fall is Coming - Nice fall survival puzzle. I think my solution is mostly intended. But the fact that I saved many more lemmings than the talisman condition & a leftover builder makes me think something is not intended.

10 RELEASE THE KRAKEN -  very cool and creative design.

11 Bridges in the Sky - The trickiest part was to figuring out that you have to release the block with a digger with a lemming fallling from above. Rest of the solution came naturally. :laugh:

12 Mountains - eccentric and a little bit confusing level. It's still very aesthetically pleasing.

13 Something Wicked This Way Comes - looks intimidating but this one turned out to be not too bad.

14 Architects of Fortune - I had to take full advantage of all the chains to get enough height I needed. fun one.

15 Been There, Done That - same terrains with Incipio4 but with different skillset. I think I like this level more. Having no basher makes the level more puzzly and challenging. :thumbsup:

16 Novelty Act - not my favorite type of level. But you still have to think how to delay the non-climber lemming so the worker has enough time to build over the large gap.

17 Paucity - easy but not trivial.

18 Ethereal Refinery - This is probably my favorite level of the first rank. My solution has some leftover skills but I think main trick is there and I can see where I was able to save those. And again, the visual of the level is awesome. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

19 Convoi Prioritaire - much easier than the previous level.

20 Graph Theory - I really didn't want to test which teleporters lead to which receivers one by one. So I just overuse the CPM and backtrack till I got to the starting teleporter from the receiver right next to the exit.

Proficio rank

1 A Good Lem is a Dead One - nice level. I like the concept of this level.

2 Maintenance Staff on the Loose - I like how all the lemmings but one have to build to cover the one pixel gaps on the wall. I don't think my solution is too off from intended but I have a leftover builder.

3 The Wall - I got two solutions: First one is definitely a backroute. The second solution on the other hand feels intended to me.

4 Swim Swam Swoop - cute little puzzle here.

5 Fire & Blood - Also two solutions for this level. First one is a bad backroute, I just bashed under everything and that's it. In second solution, I used every skill and looks intended to me.

6 Low Tide - Using the floater purly to delay a lemming a little bit was the hardest thing to see.

7 Second-Hand Wonderland - I love these no-builder levels that require creative uses of destructive skills!

8 Snowpiercer - I was already familiar to the main trick of this level so it was a releatively easy level for me.

9 From A to B and Back Again - Another gorgeous crystal level.

10 Ancient Astronauts - nice little puzzle with only 3 lemmings. They are all heading to danger already from the beginning and preventing that was the hardest thing. My first solution looks like it's a bad bacrkoute though.

11 Attack of the Big Root Thingies - I like the way to send multiple workers here and there and prepare the path simultaneously. It was very satisfying to pull it off the talisman indeed!

12 Paved With Good Intentions - That was a very cool way to recycle the climber lemming.

13 Land of Confusion - very confusing level as the title suggests XD. I'm pretty sure the permanent skills are red-herrings. I can't see them being useful anywhere.

14 Latecomers -  I assume using the trick of "two diggers canceling each other" is not intended. My second solution looks much more promising and also fits the title!

15 Blood & Fire - Not sure if digging into the steel to contain&compress the crowd at the beginning is intended.

16 High Tide - similar to Low Tide in some ways but also different to it in other ways.

17 Bad Reflection - one obvious backroute and one seemingly intended solution. Everything falls into space perfectly. I like how only one lemming turn around at the basher tunnel so he got enough time to build twice before the crowd catch him up.

18 Dual Flavored Swirls - This was the easiest level so far, a total cakewalk

19 Convergence Disorder - maybe the leftover digger can be used to reduce the precision?

20 Eclectic Power - It was a really cool closer of the rank. It has somewhat symmetric design but the same solution doesn't work on both side at all!

Scando rank

1 Cabinet of Curiosities - I like how normal lemmings had to sacrifice themselves to save and reuse the climber lemming but he also had to sacrifice himself to destroy the final wall. :XD:

2 A Time to Kill and Time to Save - neat little puzzle. making the wall climbable with a falling bomber was clever!

3 Structure of Matter - That was a creative level. using the bombers to destroy the terrain across the thin steel block is not something you can see very often.

4 Newton's Cradle - I save one more lemmings than required which is suspicious. ???

5 Rickety Business - This seems to be one of your signature tricks! pretty easy but always satisfying to see the basher sliding down the slope! :thumbsup:

6 Silos & Stitches - nice level. Taking the ceiling route was the hardest thing to figure out

7 Rooftop Run - The ceiling route is very well-hidden. 100% save requirement makes levels tricky and you really have to think carefully how to release all the blockers. :laugh:

8 The Diving Board - relatively a breather

9 Save Our Souls - I love how you have to catch the climber from the right exit with the builders from the left hatch. If you take the most obvious approach, you'll always one or two skills short!

10 A Dream of Earth - It's quite astonishing to see what you can do with original styles. Even more so when those beautiful levels also have clever solutions! :thumbsup:

11 Pareidolia - deceivingly tough one. There are many approaches that almost work.

12 Viaduc Caduc - This level is from demo pack. was quite easy

13 They came at night - I really love the aesthetic of this level. The puzzle is decent too.

14 20,000 Lems Under the Sea - I think I was not supposed to reverse through the OWW with the bomber, so here's the second solution!

15 Dos and dents - one of the occasional breathers

16 Take Five - My solution should be a backroute. I normally have a glimpse of what the intended solution roughly looks like when I look at the layout and skillset, but this level I absolutely have no clue. Guess I'll just wait for the update. :XD:

17 Razing the Foundations - One of my favorite levels of the rank. :thumbsup:

18 Hanging Gardens - surprisingly a hard level despite the small size and skillset. I kept thinking that I have to bomb away the trap which led to skill shortage. There are several approaches that almost work!

19 Ruturn to the Shire - I like the zig-zag buiders to separate the worker lemming.

20 Precarious Guidance System - A worthy rank-finisher of the rank. Pieuw's signature trick is used again in a very complicated but also elegant way. :laugh:

Impero rank

1 Pizza Party - very simple skillset and layout but still very tricky to figure out. Nice level to start of the highest difficulty rank. I love the idea of extending the miner with the builder exactly the amount needed.

2 Satonorium - Other than the obvious backroute ;P, the lack of destructive skills makes this level challenging!

3 Lemgram - I like how the climber has to go all the way around to release the crowd.

4 Shelf-Control - Luckily the rope trap is one of the slowest traps ever exist. :crylaugh:

5 Perfectenschlag - I smell a backroute here :evil:

6 Hypostyle Freestyle - very satisfying to figure out, another favorite of mine.

7 Crisis Management - took me the longest to figure out. easily one of the candidates for hardest level of the pack!(unless I overcomplicated the solution and made my life harder myself :XD:)

8 Forbidden Freiendship - nice two lemmings level. Releasing the climber with the normal lemming was the best part of the level.

9 Itineraire Touristique - very small skillset but surprsingly tricky level.

10 The Lemmings Surveys Corps - very challenging level. Since you told me the intended solution is more esthetic, I look forward to more updates!

11 Funhouse Shmunhouse - I feel like this level has many possible solutions. But they use most of the given skills at least.

12 Emeraldpunk 5047 - probably backroutes.

13 Honey, I shrunk the Lems - I like the concept of making every terrain pieces large so it looks like the lemmings are all smaller than usual.

14 A tad mad, a tad rad! - I was 50:50 whether my (second)solution was intended or not. Using the chains at the far right side of the level feels both odd and intended at the same time!

15 Against the Stream - The solution involves a digger sacrifice, which is not easy to see.

16 Deus Ex Machina - love the falling bomber to release the both crowds. The timing is a little bit unforgiving but I think it's okay.

17 To Protect and to Serve - This level is riddled with backroutes but has very clever solution and deceivingly difficult.

18 False Hapiness - might be a backroute.

19 Agemo's Trials - This level is definitely a unique one.

20 Horus's Reaching Hand -  not the hardest but epic level to finish the pack! The blocker's hand barely reaches the other side so the crowd don't splat and go safely to the exit.

Incipio 1 - Haute Voltige (Pieuw) Nice level to start off the pack, though a bit on the difficult side, not unlike the first level in QFK. Even the terrain on the sides are pretty good red herrings :P

Incipio 2 - VDNKh (Pieuw) Not sure what the title is referring to ??? This level on the other hand is much easier than the previous one, so these two can easily swap positions. Even then, skills can potentially be a problem if one isn't careful with making good use of them.

Incipio 3 - What the Frick Frack Patty Wack? (Pieuw) Back to being hard again with a level that might be way too hard for its position, especially as it's not really intuitive that bashers can move upwards even though I do know about that mechanic. Hence it can be a bit too advanced and hard for players, made worse that it comes really early in the pack. It's especially isn't clear just from looking at the wall whether one can bash all the way through without the basher getting stopped by the steel coming from the left. There is some precision needed with the builder, but luckily there's some leeway in order to get through the wall. I thought one might need to come from the right instead, though I guess the biggest clue that it's not the case is just from how there's no way to get rid of the blocker or be able to get over it if used on the right side of the level where the exit is.

Incipio 4 - Sandstones May Break my Bones (Dodochacalo) Much easier than the previous level, especially if one isn't concerned about the talisman. It's a bit more challenging if going for it, but it's just a matter of maxing out the RR early enough and then one should be fine for it.

Incipio 5 - Formal Semantics of Modal Logics (Pieuw) Back to somewhat difficult despite providing only climbers and bashers, but it's just a matter of observing where the Lemmings go through the maze in the level, which isn't too difficult to see and bashing at the right spots so that the one that is a climber doesn't get into danger. There's also a nice puzzle element of making sure not to assign the climber to the other Lemming before everything has been prepared, as well as realizing that the one that uses the bottom exit can simply climb the obstacles. Very nice level here! :thumbsup:

Incipio 6 - Quid Pro Quo (Pieuw) Great level! :thumbsup: My only criticism is that the timing is pretty tight for the climber to mine in order to stop the digger. It might just be a simple matter of the digger placement determining how much leg room remains to stop him, though.

Incipio 7 - Smells Like Team Spirit (Pieuw) Another great level that's primarily a bashers puzzle :thumbsup: Several tricks needed here: Releasing the blocker on the bottom left, non-climber needs to bash to the right in the middle area in order to be able to stop the basher going to the right beside the exit, and timing climbers, with the second one to bash to the left so that the climber ahead can fall facing to the right right by the exit. Nicely done, and a very enjoyable puzzle on top of it :thumbsup:

Incipio 8 - As not easy as it doesn't look (Pieuw) Very hard level and the hardest level up to that point in the pack for me. A lot of my attempts left me a skill short until I finally found the solution in the attached replay. Nice challenging level nevertheless! Probably an anything goes type level here despite the very restricted skillset.

Incipio 9 - Brace Yourself, Fall is Coming (Dodochacalo) I pretty much had the idea almost right away, it was just a simple matter of being quick enough before you lose too many Lemmings. Even the talisman isn't too difficult :P Nice level with two splat hatches and going in a zig-zag fashion upwards and switching on which entrance to catch Lemmings from each time.

Incipio 10 - RELEASE THE KRAKEN (Pieuw) Very nice depiction of the mythological sea creature! :thumbsup: Easier than it looks thanks to the very lenient save requirement, though losses do add up quickly thanks to the somewhat high RR.

Incipio 11 - Bridges in the Sky (Pieuw) Very nice level, especially with seeing that you must block on the staircase when you build at the very edge of the starting platform! :thumbsup: Not sure if this is intended due to the leftover climber though.

Incipio 12 - Mountains (Pieuw) CPM is likely your best friend here in revealing what's what, particularly since it's really difficult to tell just by looking at the map alone without it. A good example is there appears to be empty air when in fact it's invisible or hidden terrain. I still managed to solve the level without it, though :P I did think that the Lemmings would drown just because it looks like it from what appears to be no visible terrain where the water is. Nice visuals as usual, especially the mountains on either side of the level and 1-of-everything level in 4 skill types. Hard to tell whether the digger would stop, though.

Incipio 13 - Something Wicked This Way Comes (Pieuw) I would have to agree with Icho here, this level's great! :thumbsup: I especially love that turnaround on the right side with circling back into the first circle of the weight after building from the right to catch the others coming from the top and then coming back to the right to bash before going back onto the slanted steel of the weight to get everyone down safely and towards the exit. Well done Pieuw! :thumbsup:

Incipio 14 - Architects of Fortune (Pieuw) Hard one for me and one in which I struggled far longer than I should. I solved this by building twice from the ground. I checked with Armani's solution later on and it turns out all I really needed to do was simply build outward for a bit before blocking to turn the builder so that you get onto the next higher part of the chain in order to be high enough to reach an exit :forehead: It's still a deceptively difficult nevertheless, especially as it's not clear as to the best way to get up to an exit. For example, even the sides look like they should be possible but aren't at all.

Incipio 15 - Been There, Done That (Dodochacalo) Another hard one for me, but that's because I kept thinking that one needs to take the normal route through the level. However, doing it this way will always leave you a skill short. So, this repeat requires outside-the-box thinking, which is to mine underneath the first pillar to release the crowd onto the next platform below and catching them with builders. Took me a very long time to spot that as the way to go. Nicely done here, Dodochacalo!

Incipio 16 - Novelty Act (Pieuw) Nice trick with building a step in order to be able to bash all the way through to release both of the top entrances from below with a basher! :thumbsup: I have a pretty similar level requiring use of the high destruction mask ;) Also nice use of the climbers for everyone to take a delay in order to give the worker enough time to build to the exit.

Incipio 17 - Paucity (Piewu) Not a hard level if you aren't concerned with the talisman, but it's a much greater challenge if going for it. Turns out I completely overlook the simple fact that you can use a builder to turn rather than a blocker :forehead: I don't normally go for talismans, but the talisman is definitely worthy here! :thumbsup:

Incipio 18 - Ethereal Refinery (Pieuw) Excellent level though at least for me a bit too excessive and repetitive with digging to release the blockers. I really love how one needs to release the bottom two blockers first because you actually don't have enough floaters for all blockers. It was very satisfying to figure out how to overcome that shortcoming! :thumbsup: This kind of reminds me of my Bubble Trouble level just from how it too has one builder :laugh:

Incipio 19 - Convoi Prioritaire (Pieuw) Probably my all-time favorite of the entire rank! :thumbsup: I really love how the solution all comes together and how the timing all works out because no one turns around too soon and therefore gets into trouble when you find the solution.

Incipio 20 - Graph Theory (Dodochacalo) Not sure how the title relates to the level, though I loved learning graph theory when I took Discrete Math for my math major both for my undergrad and Master's program. Way too many teleporters for my liking, even though I managed to beat the level without ever activating CPM, which would help tremendously and be a complete time saver :P All the teleporters, along with a really tall level, essentially nullify the FF speed. It took me by complete surprise that the level can be done with only 4 walkers :laugh:         

Proficio 1 - A Good Lem is a Dead One (Dodochacalo) Nice level to start off the rank, even if it's bit too excessive on the bombing for my liking :P I checked against your solution on Youtube and it is different only where I bombed at the top to get another worker Lemming in middle.

Proficio 2 - Maintenance Staff on the Loose (Pieuw) Nice level, and I like how all the timing naturally works out. The only thing I'm not certain about being intended is building with the non-climber repeatedly until he can connect with the other bridges to get to the exit.

Proficio 3 - The Wall (Dodochacalo) Nice level, though it was annoying on the precision. Of course, after I checked my solution against yours I did indeed overcomplicate things! :laugh: No wonder I found it annoying, mine needs a lot of precision.

Proficio 4 - Swim Swam Swoop (Pieuw) Another level that makes use of a NL feature, which is having a pre-assigned swimmer hatch, though I guess this is still a classic 8 skills pack since the player doesn't need to manually assign the swimmer skill, which isn't provided anyway. Nice level, though I fell for the trap of thinking the Lemmings get to the exit at the top left, when in fact they just need to swim back the way they came from.

edit: I forgot the level provides walker skills and therefore this is the only level in the pack that isn't just a classic 8 skills one :-[

Proficio 5 - Fire & Blood (Dodochacalo) Nice level, though I found the start the hardest. I simply resorted to using the RR to make the right timing and space in order to have enough time to build over the small gap so that after bombing to release everyone from the digger pit no one gets into trouble. Seems you can indeed just make the first two dig as in your solution. Not sure why I didn't think it would work :forehead:

Proficio 6 - Low Tide (Pieuw) Great level, with the hardest part being how to compress the crowd so that only one Lemming dies to the retractable boulder trap. I'm not sure if there's an easier way to do so than how I did it, though. Also, more deception of water looking like the Lemmings would drown where the exit is but they don't :P

Proficio 7 - Second-Hand Wonderland (Pieuw) Ah, builderless level, one of my favorite types of levels in the game! :thumbsup: A very good level here, with the only hard part being to time the climbers so that one of them climbs back into the digger pit in order to bash to the left while not hitting steel so that he's high enough in order to mine through the wall. I thought I could get away with having a climber left, but nope, all 3 are necessary so that one of them stops the digger by bashing and not the digger himself bashes.

Proficio 8 - Snowpiercer (Dodochacalo) Already seen this trick in QFK, so sorry Dodochacalo :P To be fair, it's unique in the sense that the miners are used to widen the tunnel to provide builders as the ceiling check to extend the basher is not seen at all in DoveLems.

Proficio 9 - From A to B and Back Again (Pieuw) Back to hard again, where the level is all timing. I pretty much had the right idea where everyone going over the top except for the final 3 from the left entrance, who will do some work while going up the wall. Anything else you try won't work, and maybe that's where Pieuw succeeded in blocking off all other alternatives. It's quite a nice solution once you find out how it's all supposed to come together. Regarding the terrain where the exit is, I wonder if you managed to get some inspiration from one of Lacktardo's levels, which is considered quite infamous in how very unfair it is due to hidden terrain :P

Proficio 10 - Ancient Astronauts (Dodochacalo) Very nice level, especially with making sure to mine with a Lemming in such a way that he can get out of the digger pit without needing to be a climber, as the climbers will make their way to the bottom before coming back up from the work the non-climber does for them. It's a good thing I noticed the non-save all requirement before I had wasted way too much time trying to save everyone when in fact it's not possible at all. I've been known to not pay careful attention to the save requirement on numerous occasions which has gotten me into trouble :-[

Proficio 11 - Attack of the Big Root Thingies (Pieuw) Another level that's a good example that isn't hard when not concerned with the talisman but is a far greater challenge if so. However, I believe this is a rare example where both solutions are the same, but you simply need to do a lot of multi-tasking to meet the talisman requirement. Being able to pull it off was pretty satisfying IMO, though it was hard to get the timing right with building from both sides of the vine swamp and making sure no one slips by the builders and drowns. I especially love how the building and bashing needs to be done from the left side of the upside down branches right beside the exit in order for everyone to get up to the exit later on :thumbsup: Overall the level is a very nice decent challenge that was very satisfying to figure out :)

Proficio 12 - Paved With Good Intentions (Dodochacalo) Wow, what an excellent level! :thumbsup: The puzzle is really good, especially with figuring out how to place one of the blockers in order to free him with a basher. I indeed got the solution fairly quick, I simply had the blocker on the left side placed in the wrong spot and therefore need to adjust the basher position in the bottom left. Well done here Dodochacalo, I was very impressed! :thumbsup:

Proficio 13 - Land of Confusion (Pieuw) Indeed it's a land of confusion but the visuals are great here! :thumbsup: I did wonder where the exit was but when I saw the animated stuff on the right side I figured it had to be the exit. Indeed, using all builders to get over the gap confirmed my guess. I struggled here longer than I needed only because I was stuck wondering how you're supposed to delay the second Lemming long enough to give the first one enough time to build over the big gap before the exit. Turns out I simply found the wrong spot to bash, and I don't know why it took me a while to notice the area where the basher will go for some time before stopping. Before I realized this, I kept wondering if there was maybe another exit somewhere in the level :laugh: I checked the far left, and nope, nothing fishy or anything of interest there. Nice complete red herring with the climber.

Proficio 14 - Latecomvers (Dodochacalo) Much easier than the previous level, though this level can easily be done with just 3 diggers due to how you can cancel a digger with another and create steps inside the pits to make safe falls for the others :P

Proficio 15 - Blood & Fire (Dodochacalo) Repeat of Proficio 5, except the exit and the entrance swap places and the words in the title switch places as well. This one is just as challenging as the original, with probably the hardest part figuring out how to get everyone down safely where the fire blowtorch trap is. The other hard part is realizing a digger gets past the exit in order to mine the crowd out to reach the exit. Still a nice level just like the original.

Proficio 16 - High Tide (Pieuw) Another repeat of a level earlier in the rank, this time of Proficio 6, which is appropriately called "Low Tide" because there's no water anywhere except for where the exit was. This time, there's water everywhere in the level, hence the "high tide." I like this one better than the original, especially with getting a group of 3 Lemmings close to one another so that two get past the boulder trap and then the first one bashes to turn the other one around who will mine the others contained in the pit there and will be released by making them climbers. In the meantime, the worker has enough time to build to the exit. The hardest part was achieving the 3-Lemming group, as well as how to get someone far enough ahead in order to dig through the slanted pole to get everyone contained.

Proficio 17 - Bad Reflection (Dodochacalo) Nice level, though probably a slight backroute due to leftover digger :P

Proficio 18 - Dual Flavored Swirls (Pieuw) Somewhat easy and the second level in a row that I steamrolled through quickly ;) The only hard part is dealing with the 99RR, but I like how one needs to figure out how to make everyone falls down facing the correct way to reach the exit. Same thing with how you intertwine the snow pieces with the brown rock pieces :thumbsup:

Proficio 19 - Convergence Disorder (Pieuw) This was the hardest level for me in the entire rank, but that's probably due to how I made a mess of the solution with all the timing needed. I suppose this level was my punishment for beating the previous two levels very quickly :laugh: I spent well over an hour on camera with this one :laugh: I see that you said on Armani's video that you think it's easy for its position. I disagree completely, though that being said, unless it's the same as Armani's just with a skill swap or so, I'm curious about your solution. Maybe that would shed some light as to why you think this level of yours is easy :P

Proficio 20 - Eclectic Power (Dodochacalo) The first no-solve level of the pack for me on camera, it didn't help that I was mentally exhausted from the previous level. In hindsight, I should had made a cut after solving Proficio 19, as I had already been recording for a little over an hour at that point. I really wanted to see if I could finish up the rank, but that wasn't to be the case. This morning, I went to try something that I thought would work and fortunately it does but barely. I honestly don't know why I didn't see it earlier, though this is very different from yours. Even then, I really like the idea I came up with of building to touch the OWW and then building close to the ground on top of the initial staircase in the opposite direction so that the first one keeps the basher going but also cutting off the staircase at the top in order to provide a way to the exit again. From seeing yours, I'm not sure why I didn't think it would work with the builder getting interrupted from the other side but still building far enough to avoid the exit. I'm sure I know and have done it your way before on other levels. Ugh, it's the sleep deprivation. I definitely don't do as well as I should in my LPs when I'm still quite tired. Oh well, I managed to get it solved and hence finish the first two ranks of the pack! :thumbsup:

Scando 1 - Cabinet of Curiosities (Pieuw) Excellent level to start off the rank! :thumbsup: I love how the player needs to be careful not to sacrifice the climber until the very end. Even more, the level wouldn't be possible if bombers were timed. Nice use of the digger and then bombing a Lemming who gets into it to destroy the rest of the wall and also to release the digger. Well done, Pieuw! :thumbsup:

Scando 2 - A Time to Kill and a Time to Save (Dodochacalo) Somewhat difficult, though the biggest problem was having enough time to finish the bridge to the exit before the other climber arrives. Seems the critical thing here was assigning the floater at the right time, as well as building the bridge at the bottom so the log piece isn't a problem for the survivors later. Looks like to be a backroute though, if Dodochacalo's new video upload of the level is any indication :P

Scando 3 - Structure of Matter (Pieuw) One of the best levels in the entire rank! :thumbsup: I especially love how the player needs to figure out how to get into the platform below the starting one in order to bomb the tops of the poles away to allow climbers through the maze at the bottom in order to bash under the quicksand to prepare the bridges to help the others across to the exit. It's an especially nice touch that you need to build one bridge to the right while the other two come from the right side. My only criticism here is that the repeated bombing is a little too excessive for my liking, but that's just a personal dislike of how I don't like repeatedly assigning the same skill plenty of times :P Overall, this was very satisfying to figure out the solution to! :thumbsup: 

Scando 4 - Newton's Cradle (Dodochacalo) Looks like another level of Dodochacalo's I backrouted since I don't use the blocker pickup :P This is deceivingly difficult, and I'm not sure why I thought the block at the end needs to be destroyed in order to be able to build to the exit when in fact it's partly right. I simply resorted to timing the climbers so that I could dig away the rest of the wall and also cancel out the miner. I see the change that was made, though I wonder if it can still be backrouted just by scooting the miner at the top over a little ??? Still a nice level that's not easy to see how to do.

Scando 5 - Rickety Business (Pieuw) Probably a little easier than the previous level, with the hardest part being to see to use a basher in the middle area to not only release the middle entrance but also to delay him long enough in order to give the climber enough time to build the long bridge to the exit. It's really the basher trick from Land of Confusion from the previous rank returning here but much easier and clearer to see. Great level! :thumbsup: Definitely reminds me of some Lemmings Reunion levels with a similar concept of giving the worker enough time to build long staircases ;)

Scando 6 - Silos & Stitches (Pieuw) Hard one, but that's because for a long time I kept trying to fiddle around to see if I could beat everyone and build the final bridge before the others got into danger or before the basher cuts off the first staircase on the starting platform on the left side. Turns out I had the completely wrong idea of holding everyone in with blockers on the starting platform, when in fact it needs to be done on the platform below and to the left. Thank goodness the fiddly basher/blocker is not required, just like Pieuw said when this was part of PiPoPack. I just hate that trick and if I have to resort to using it to solve a level, I try to find a solution that doesn't use it :P

Scando 7 - Rooftop Run (Dodochacalo) Finally a level of Dodochacalo's that seems solid, though one that Armani backrouted. Excellent level :thumbsup: I really love how the climber needs to prepare the route for the others and then you need to make him return to the crowd at the start in order to release them by bombing while he's falling. There's no way to save the climber because there isn't a way to spare a builder to make him turn at the climbable walls where the exit is. I tried in vain to see if I could for a time before realizing there's no way to. Well done, Dodochacalo! :thumbsup:

Scando 8 - The Diving Board (Pieuw) Well, looks like another case of Pieuw being inspired by the previous level, which is Dodochacalo's due to the solution requiring a similar concept of a climber sacrificing himself to help the crowd because there's no way to save the climber again. This time, it's building to get high enough in order to bomb and destroy the diving board from below, as well as to release the blocker and the crowd. Once again, my only criticism here is the precision needed to get everyone down and land on the staircase. I don't think it would hurt to ease the precision :P

Scando 9 - Save Our Souls (Dodochacalo) Hard but great level, especially with figuring out how to get into position to free the crowds. I especially like how you bash through the OWW with a climber from the left hatch so that he can get into the digger tunnel to climb and then release the upper entrance. My solution is the same as Dodochacalo's except for how I build twice at the bottom instead of twice at the top like in his.

Scando 10 - A Dream of Earth (Pieuw) Another hard but excellent level! :thumbsup: Very nice solution, especially with blocking to turn the builder but also one needs to bash him free and then he becomes a blocker again at the bottom in order to turn the other climbers back to the exit again. As usual, that just splat fall where the exit is is very annoying, though I guess it's fine because one needs to realize that you have to bash to lower the fall to make it survivable while also being able to collect the miner pickup. It hiding the terrain so that you can't see if the staircase will block off the route to the exit or not is pretty annoying IMO, but it's just a matter of doing the solution correctly and then you won't have problems with it, along with the just splat fall to the exit issue already mentioned.

Scando 11 - Pareidolia (Dodochacalo) Another deceptively difficult level but a great one as well. I had the wrong idea of holding back the others at the bottom when in fact this time you hold them back on the starting platform, a reverse of Scando 6's idea. I still ended up fiddling around with trying to see if I could make it work for a while before later realizing it won't work whatsoever and therefore abandoning that approach. Nice touch of using the holes in the terrain to stop the miner at the start.

Scando 12 - Viaduc Caduc (Pieuw) Somewhat challenging but another excellent level. This time, you need to make use of making a digger build after he destroys all of the terrain before he transitions into a faller. It needs to be done in such a way so that after he builds the bridges to the exit, he is able to climb back up in order to come back and bash through the OWW to release the crowd. I already know this floating digger behavior from Dos, so it was just a matter of seeing it required in the solution.

Scando 13 - They came at night (Pieuw) Easier than it looks, with the only hard part in my solution being to time the climbers so that one can block and turn the miner. The rest of the solution was easy from there. This level does make me think that there are a few ways of doing it and that my solution isn't the only one.

Scando 14 - 20,000 Lems Under the Sea (Dodochacalo) Haven't read the novel by Jules Verne or seen the movie, and I believe it might be a Disney film. If it is, it's one of many by Disney I haven't seen even though I grew up with a lot of Disney films. Challenging level, though it was all simply due to doing the final obstacle before the exit wrong. I built from the right to left instead of the other way so that it's not a problem for climbers to get to the exit. Before this, I used a basher to stop the climber from getting into danger on the bottom right, which caused me to be a skill short or so. I later revised my approach to use a builder to turn instead, because it seems that all bashers need to be used for the walls.

Scando 15 - Dos and dents (Pieuw) Quite possibly the quickest solve in the entire pack thus far. Due to the holes, it's clear you need to build for climbers to get over the wall and then it's just a simple matter of knowing that a blocker can turn a digger in order to release the crowd.

Scando 16 - Take Five (Pieuw) Hard but once again an excellent level! :thumbsup: I had some right ideas but the incorrect thought that the OWW needs to be bashed through, when in fact you don't and instead have to catch everyone from below. That was very hard to see. Before realizing this, I kept running into problems of how to make sure I'm able to release those contained in the pit at the top left since you don't have enough climbers for everyone. The solution is so clever here! :thumbsup: I especially like the bombing to bash through to tunnel underneath the exit and reach it from the right side.

Scando 17 - Razing the Foundations (Pieuw) Easier than the previous level, which is also Pieuw's, but it's still challenging. The hardest thing to see here is to bomb and bash to get under the exit instead of build over the exit. Other than that, the rest of the solution can easily be figured out, with care need to be taken to bash through the OWW at the bottom first before building to reach and bash the other OWWs later.

Scando 18 - Hanging Gardens (Dodochacalo) Quite possbily the hardest level of the entire rank (at least for me it was, given that I had two attempt videos but couldn't solve the level in either one). The solution is quite ingenious, and I don't know why I didn't see it earlier and a lot sooner, given that I have played some custom levels that require bombing a climber to release both the crowd and blocker from below. In the second attempt video, I did indeed have the right idea to build to turn and bombing the staircase with the other climber to come back to the left to mine and make a path for the others, just one earlier part was wrong. Instead of bombing the green emerald to climb into to make a splatform, the splatform is actually done at the bottom of the pit. The former way is impossible due to the somewhat high RR and also not enough bombers, as I found out too prematurely from just staring a the level on my screen and not making sure that I had all of the solution before getting excited of finding a completely new approach that I didn't try before :-[ Well done to Dodochacalo for stumping me twice with a level of his and having me stuck for a while with this great and extremely deceptively difficult level that doesn't look like it is but is :crylaugh:

Scando 19 - Return to the Shire (Pieuw) Easier than the previous level, with the only catch that the normal solution of bashing through the wall at the bottom not working because you don't collect the bomber pickup in time before the Lemming at the top makes it past the spot where you can bomb the crowd free from above. Instead, it requires clever uses of the builders to isolate a worker and so that the crowd can follow later. Great level and especially the windows are a nice decorative touch in the design!

Scando 20 - Precarious Guidance System (Pieuw) Ah, this reminds me of a Brick level that I made earlier this year that requires the exact same thing with blockers to keep a basher going (in turn, I was inspired by a level of Leviathan's), only this level of Pieuw's is far cleverer because builder steps are needed to keep it going too :thumbsup: It was especially fun to see the basher moving downwards with the help of builders at the bottom :laugh: :thumbsup: Great level to finish off this rank where levels are a big step up in difficulty. Kind of reminds me of the final Hurricane level from PimoLems, except you're not working with two bashers and working out where to place them, in which it's far more frustrating on Lemmini while not as much on NL but it can still take some trial and error. There is some timing needed on this level, but it's not to any ridiculous amount or for it to factor into the solution in any way.                 

Impero 1 - Pizza Party (Dodochacalo) Nice level to start off the rank. It reminds me of Maso 1 from DoveLems as it has a similar idea with builder/miner, except here you must realize that you need to stretch the bridges in order to make a hole to be able to fall out to the left and build to the exit. Timing the crowd for them to past before making the hole in the staircase is no problem, that's why the Lemming count is low.

Impero 2 - Satanorium (Pieuw) One of the hardest levels of the pack IMO, though my unintended solution is a complete mess. I checked Armani's solution of what he thinks is intended and yea, that makes sense that the area in the bottom left is used which I thought it does. That being said, this might be a little too difficult for its position this early in the rank, given there's plenty of things that look like they could work but don't. Not sure how you can block off my solution though :P

Impero 3 - Lemgram (Dodochacalo) Easier than the previous level but still challenging. The hardest part wasn't the checkboard mechanic so the miner keeps going but makes a hole for the others who turn back to the right to get contained at the bottom of the level, I thought it was figuring out how to get the crowd back up to the exit later on. Timing the climber to block and turn the builder can be hard to pull off, but by maxing out the RR to get everyone in the pit on time that shouldn't be a problem. One other approach would had worked if it wasn't for the climber making his way back to the top and the fall being splat height, but luckily it was just a small tweak by simply building the crowd out to get up the miner tunnel instead of getting the tunnel low enough for them to get up without a builder. Indeed, my solution is the same as Dodochacalo's, so looks like I got the intended on here! ;)

Impero 4 - Shelf-Control (Pieuw) Another contender for one of the hardest of the pack. It's a daunting level given the huge size of the level, and IMO it's not clear at any point how to go about solving the level. For a while, I made really good progress but would be a basher short. Later on, I felt as if I didn't do anything different to be able to save a basher, so I'm not sure why it worked. I think it was just from building from left to right so that the timing to for the climber to sync up with the right entrance crowd to get through the slow rope trap works out. Even then, this was a very nice challenging level to work out! Well done Pieuw! :thumbsup: That being said, this might be too hard for being this early in the rank as well.

Impero 5 - Perfectenscholag (Dodochacalo) Another backroute it appears :P I still didn't find this level easy, especially as there's some things that look like they could work but don't. It's still easier than the previous level, though ;)

Impero 6 - Hypostyle Freestyle (Pieuw) Not very hard of a level, but I spent far longer than I should had because I couldn't figure out how to get through the obstacles if it might not be possible to get climbers back over the top later on. Indeed, it was just from missing that critical digger spot to allow them back up :-[ Once I saw that, then I could do the solution as I did before when I kept being a miner or digger short. It also has the nice added touch that you must have the climbers tank on the steel if mining and digging when facing right. Otherwise, they will go back to the far left, climb up, and fall and splat.

Impero 7 - Crisis Management (Dodochacalo) Harder than it looks despite having a time limit of 1 minute, especially with figuring out the best way to go about the level. Not sure why I thought about going underneath the steel where the rope trap is, when that would likely require some additional losses with bombers to get low enough to build but also making a ramp they can get up on the right side. Seems that all solutions are similar, as long as you use compression with the left entrance to get through the rope trap with just one loss. Time limit isn't super tight at all so it's likely not too much of a problem.

Impero 8 - Forbidden Friendship (Pieuw) One of the best levels of the pack! :thumbsup: It's not hard but it's not easy either. My favorite part is bombing the non-climber from below to free the climber who blocks on the staircase. I love how the solution all comes together as it's figured out bit by bit. Well done Pieuw! :thumbsup:

Impero 9 - Itineraire Touristique (Pieuw) Another favorite of mine! :thumbsup: Observing the paths the Lemmings go is quite nice here which helps in figuring out the solution. I especially like how a non-climber needs to face to the right and block, and the climbers being stuck in an infinite loop in the far left side until they bash is a nice touch. Before I figured out the solution, I kept wondering how to solve the problem of at least one Lemming turning around before bashing through the OWW at the start. Great solution and level, my main critique being that it takes a while for climbers to get to the bottom left exit due to the locked RR combined with the high Lemming count. Consider reducing the Lemming count or at least shortening the way to the bottom exit for the climbers.

Impero 10 - The Lemmings Survey Corps (Dodochacalo) One of the hardest levels of the pack, this level doesn't need to be a mess like my solution! :XD: I eventually came to realize that only the miners need to go on ahead at different places to bomb the OWWs away from above, but I went further and really overcomplicated the solution by timing the miners in such a way that one Lemming goes on ahead with a few of the miners, which isn't guaranteed to work everytime anyway. As Dodochacalo's solution shows, there's a completely clean way of doing the level despite the 99RR. It still requires good timing, but nothing like the madness I pulled off :P Quite honestly, I was very relieved to finally get past this level once I found something that worked :laugh: It isn't exactly one of my favorites despite the clever miner usages. I checked Armani's solution as well and am surprised to see him pull off a lot of madness like mine :8():

Impero 11 - Funhouse Shmunhouse (Pieuw) A bit easier than the previous level but still challenging despite being a heavy builders level with no destructive skills of any kind (including bomber). I don't know if the long splatform I made near the exit is intended. I tried other ways such as the building in the middle in a zig-zag fashion but I couldn't find a way to do it with the builders provided. Also with being able to get the others over the gap in the top middle area without spending more than 2 builders, especially as I had a hard time figuring out how to get someone to come back to the left without either building to hit his head or using a blocker, but the latter would require at least 1 or two builders to get over, therefore you need 3 or 4 builders total in that area.

Impero 12 - Emeraldpunk 5047 (Pieuw) Excellent level and one of my favorites! :thumbsup: Like plenty of other levels before this, I love how the solution all comes together nicely bit by bit. This is a level where you need to climb into the bomber hole in the emerald to build to get over the gap so everyone can go over the top by going to the far right side. Also with bashing to delay the crowd and nice use of building on top of the steel to raise the wall and hence turn everyone back to the right in order to give the builder on the right side enough time to build over the gap. The timing is a bit tight, but luckily you can bomb through the wall at the bottom left in time before anyone turns around after you bash through the wall. My only critique here is that it's not clear if the vine swamp also extends into the two left-most emeralds and therefore would prevent you from digging to get through without either checking with CPM or sending a Lemming over to dig. Other than that, nicely done Pieuw! :thumbsup:

Impero 13 - Honey, I Shrunk the Lems (Dodochacalo) Somewhat challenging with another level of Dodochacalo's I've managed to backroute after checking his solution, which is far more impressive then mine :P I found the start the hardest, as it's not clear as to the best way to do it with the tools given. Still a nice level, and I do see the change with putting steel in the floor where I got underneath the final wall before the exit. That definitely looks like the way to enforce his intended solution ;)

Impero 14 - A tad mad, a tad rad! (Pieuw) Indeed, this is one of the hardest levels of the pack IMO. It's a builderless level, which as you know I love this type of level a lot in the game of Lemmings :thumbsup: However, it's not easy to figure out at all. In the end, it seems that I might have backrouted it, especially as I take advantage of containing the crowd in the chain in order to give a climber enough time to get a head start before having the compressed crowd follow in order to bomb the climber and everyone making it past the hole that would result that get them trapped. This bomber placement is super precise with releasing the blocker while also not making a hole that would cause everyone to take the bottom part of the right side of the level. I checked Armani's video of this level where he uses the wall on the far right with what he thinks is intended, and honestly I didn't even notice that it can be used to get the crowd back up to be able to reach the exit again :-[ Pieuw even has confirmed with Armani that it's intended but "not perfect." Another level where I decided to hash it out off-camera instead of record a second video where I might possibly take a while with fiddling with something until it works.

Impero 15 - Against the Stream (Dodochacalo) Just as challenging as the previous level, though still somewhat easier. I had problems figuring out how to get a floater to go on ahead after making a step so the others don't have far to fall but this will block it from doing so. Also I kept thinking to sending everyone to go through the bear trap, as well as to cancel the digger after 7 strokes at the start, when in fact you need to keep going much farther down than that. In the end, I got the same solution as Dodochacalo, and it's definitely not an easy one to figure out! Still, this was a great challenging level to solve! ;)

Impero 16 - Deus Ex Machine (Pieuw) Oh my gosh, this is such a great level! :thumbsup: It's not easy to figure out, but I still ended up being fairly quick with this one. It kind of helps that I know what this literary device is in pieces of literature in that it refers to an unexpected solution to an otherwise seemingly hopeless situation that has absolutely no reason to happen. Thus, I think of it as "divine intervention" and therefore the solution likely has something about coming from above involved. I especially like bombing a faller to release blockers from either side, though I found the placements of them correctly annoying, since a lot of the time I could release one blocker but not the other because the destruction mask doesn't reach both. Don't get me wrong, I like this part of the solution very much, it's just annoying to do because of the overlapping of blocker fields not allowed. I don't think this can be solved by making one of the platforms lower to build from because again of the overlapping blocker fields. Even then, this is one of my all-time favorites of the pack, and it certainly wouldn't surprised if I or someone else nominates this level for LOTY2025! :thumbsup: Only critique here is that it's not clear if any terrain remains when bashing at the bottom because it blends in well with the rope part of the trap, but I think it's just a simple matter of moving the traps upward. I'm just not sure if it's still possible for the traps to kill the Lemmings if so. I'll have to check and if it isn't then it's all right as is, I guess :P

Impero 17 - To Protect and to Serve (Dodochacalo) Just like Impero 7, still not easy despite the 1 minute time limit, so its position as the fourth-to-last still works. I pretty much had the solution all figured out, just had a hard time figuring out whether it was possible to have all Lemmings going out to the right instead of some also falling out going to the left once the digger was done. Turns out it just need a precise bomber placement at the top to create the checkerboard mechanic so that those coming from the right can come to the left, turn, and then fall down the digger shaft. Turns out my solution is a backroute, and I'm not sure at present how to enforce Dodochacalo's solution, which once again is more impressive than mine in many ways :P

Impero 18 - False Happiness (Pieuw) Quite possibly the hardest level of the pack. It's clear the general outline of the solution, but the hardest part was figuring out the compression of the crowd so only one dies per masher trap. I fiddled around with this for well over an hour on camera and probably about half an hour off-camera but with no success. Then I had an idea while I was lying awake in bed this morning. Once I got up, I went to try it and luckily what I had in mind does work with the compression. Not sure why I didn't see that earlier, especially as I saw it is possible to get over the top without needing the blocker to turn a builder. I had a builder to spare so that I can save the left digger and hence explains why I saved one over the requirement. I'm not sure if my solution overall is intended or acceptable, though. If it is intended to use the blocker to turn a builder, then I have no clue as to the solution, because I can't get the crowd compressed enough to go through the masher traps with minimal losses.

Impero 19 - Agemo's Trials (Dodochacalo) Got through this one a lot quicker than I thought I would, but that's because I backrouted the level as I suspected :P It's still not easy and losses will add up quickly despite the somewhat low RR. The part I couldn't get to work is the area where there appears to a jumble mess of "solid" terrain so that it's impossible to walk up, but upon closer inspection of Dodochacalo's video of the intended solution, the green is just the head of the chameleon trap. This means there's just 3 traps total I believe, with one visible and the other two not so visible. Instead, I used some timing to bomb away the ceiling to allow the builder to keep on going who luckily doesn't hit his head and turn around. That part is easily fixable by putting steel. That should be enough to force Dodochacalo's intended solution and therefore this being one of the hardest levels of the pack and hence its placement as the penultimate level is more justified. The chameleon trap in particular is I believe the fastest trap in either L1 or ONML and therefore very hard to get past.

Impero 20 - Horus's Reaching Hand (Pieuw) To finish off the pack, this isn't anywhere near the hardest level of the pack but it's still very worthy as the final level. If you're aware of blockers being able to turn fallers in mid-air, then this level should be fairly quick to figure out. Indeed, the fact the gap right by the exit is off by a pixel even with a full staircase was kind of the biggest clue hinting to the blocker turning fallers in midair. However, even if you aren't familiar with it, the solution still shouldn't take long to figure out because of the skillset provided, with blockers doing most of the work. Excellent level pack finisher! :thumbsup: I especially love how the floaters are in various places to get the route done, such as one floater out to the right to bash through the wall at the bottom, and two floaters out to the left while the builder is going.                   

Incipio

1 - Haute Voltige

Without any down-digging skill, this is not a trivial start at all. Took me a while to see that I had to go the far side. Nice level!

2 - VDNKh

Strange name, strange level. Pioneer based and very straightforward. Sprinkled-in metal blocks are a bit annoying, though.

3 - What the Frick Frack Patty Wack?

Metal blocks beneath a basher can vary the basher's direction a bit. That's what this level is all about. Can be a hard one for those who aren't aware of this effect.

4 - Sandstones May Break My Bones

Nice puzzler which looks easier than it actually is. Not sure if mine is the only solution, though.

5 - Formal Semantics of Modal Logics

Gorgeous looking level. I also like the twist that the Lemming from below prepares the path for the Lem above, but then returns to the bottom floor and exits there. Well done!

6 - Quid Pro Quo

Two-Lemming levels are easily the best. A marvellous solution that does the title justice. One word: excellent.

7 - Smells Like Team Spirit

I thought I played a level with this name already in a different pack. The third great level in a row. Especially the end with the meeting bashers that cancel each other out is pretty ingenious.

8 - As not easy as it doesn't look 

Hard level, probably a bit misplaced that early in the pack. I took the bottom route which felt very hackish and not intended.

9 - Brace Yourself, Fall is Coming

Easy level, but very nice use of the Dolly Dimple-trick here. I think it's the only way to get along with the relatively few amount of bridges.

10 - RELEASE THE KRAKEN

Visually a pretty impressive level. There's no real puzzle here, it's just brute force instead. In fact, the save requirement is very lenient.

11 - Bridges in the Sky

Not an easy level as well. Especially the beginning with the blocker on the bridge that must be released with a digger later is not easy to see. Another solid basher puzzle.

12 - Mountains

Things behave a little strange here as how the Lemmings walk on the water or climb the central obstacle. Tricky level, as, counterintuitively, the builder stops the pair from walking to the right, not the bomber or the basher. Another central element is the placing of the bomber which was the hardest to see. A good level, but not quite my cup of tea.

13 - Something Wicked This Way Comes

A work of art, this level. Another beautiful basher-puzzle which is a builder-puzzle as well as the positioning of the two bridges is key here.

14 - Architects of Fortune

Challenging one, to say the least. I like it, but it's certainly not everyone's taste. It was clear from the beginning that the solution must be through the central chain. The upper bridges must not protrude over the edges of the lower bridges - this was the hardest thing to do.

15 - Been There, Done That

Repeat of level 4, this time with miners instead of bashers. I tried to connect two pillars with a bridge to mine through both of them with only one miner, but couldn't manage to make it work. With this thought in my mind it took me a while to find the real solution.

16 - Novelty Act

This level is centered around a pretty unique trick I haven't seen like this anywhere before. Fortunately, it was not too difficult to figure it out, so I had a quick solve here.

17 - Paucity

At a first glance, this level may look hard, but it isn't at all. Bringing the Lemmings down to the bottom is the trickiest part - one bridge is enough for doing so.

18 - Ethereal Refinery

Great level! I normally don't like spamming the same skill over and over again, but in this case it didn't bother me for whatever reason. I had a shortage of floaters first, but I overcame it somehow and even spared some skills.

19 - Convoi Prioritaire

Others have praised this level before me and I can only agree with them. This one is a piece of art (not visually, but the solution). It's not a particularly difficult one, but things don't have to be hard to be beautiful.

20 - Graph Theory

This is the other side of the medal. An annoying level, my least favourite of the rank. It can't be solved through logic and is just try and error. To keep things clear, it was the first time ever that I took a pen and a paper to note down all the paths that I already tried and which led to death. So it was just a matter of time to solve it.

Proficio

1 - A Good Lem is a Dead One

Harder than it looks. To my surprise, I had to use all of the bombers here. The penultimate one was especially tricky as it doesn't look necessary there. But it is, as without it, the crowd won't step up and the builder can't cross the abyss without losses. Nice level!

2 - Maintenance Staff on the Loose

Interesting level which I backrouted most likely. I haven't been able to bring the non-climber up, so I simply solved it through the left side.

3 - The Wall

Hard level for me.  Due to the title, I was so committed to the three-bridges wall here that I overlooked the real solution for a very long time. I don't think it's possibly to solve the level the way I initially tried to as this would require two pioneers at the right side. Which can't be accomplished with the provided number of builders. Also, I don't know if the timer is really needed here.

4 - Swim Swam Swoop

Despite the very reduced skillset, a tricky level which took me a while to figure out. The solution is pretty well-hidden.

5 - Fire & Blood

Relatively easy level. Beginning can be tricky though as one tends to overestimate the time the builder needs to close the first gap. This gap can easily be sealed off while the crowd is busy.

6 - Low Tide

Back to hard, again. I had a suspicion that it would be something like this - but it took me way too much time to see that I had to bash from right to left instead from left to right. Good level!

7 - Second-Hand Wonderland

Beautiful-looking non-builder level which is not too hard. I love these rings hanging from the ceiling as well as these little corridors the Lemmings have to squeeze through. And the use of the metal in this level is great, too - it fits perfetly into the landscape. Awesome!

8 - Snowpiercer

Trick-based level and not among my favourites. It's too difficult to execute for my taste though not particularly hard to solve. At least in the head. But maybe that's because I've already seen a bunch of levels like this one before.

9 - From A to B and Nack Again 

A hard nut to crack at first due to the lack of bashers, but that's because I didn't see that it's indeed possible to bash through the big block by only using one. After that, it was pretty easy.

10 - Ancient Astronauts

Nice level with three Lemmings. Trickest part was the beginning, making sure that one Lemmings returns. However, since the third Lemmings doesn't die, I would have preferred a third climber to save them all  - which would be more elegant, in my opinion.

11 - Attack of the Big Root Thingies

Not a hard level, but I somehow overlooked the branch above the exit which allows a pioneer to pass it without using a builder. So the crowd can be saved from this side. Crossing the "water"- in the middle was a bit tricky as well. I failed building from the left side only as the crowd always showed up too early. So I finally did it from both directions.

12 - Paved With Good Intentions

Great basher-puzzle and one of my favourite levels of the rank so far. Very elegant solution!  Saving this extra Lemming as there are three blockers, but ony two Lemmings may die, is the cherry on the cake.

13 - Land of Confusion

Nice visuals here. Didn't even realize the tileset by looking at the title-screen only. The level itself is pretty easy as it's all about how to delay the second Lemming. He must be delayed twice - the second time is not so easy to see. 

14 - Latecomers

I was on the wrong track here as I dug from right to left and bashed through the pillar to the left at the bottom. But this didn't work out since the Release Rate can't be increased. So I tried something different - don't know if it's intended as there are several diggers left.

15 - Blood & Fire 

Repeat of Proficio 5 with the entrance and exit swapped. I found this one way harder. It was a typical example of being too fixed on a certain approach, which made me blind for the real solution. I thought I got the starting area right, but I didn't  - and so the rest of the level wasn't possible as well. I stumbled across the solution when I started to save a builder somewhere. Still think the steel plate beneath the starting platform is too hard to see.

16 - High Tide

Sequel of Proficio 6 and harder than that. Especially the beginning is pretty mean. At first, the pioneer has to have a head start to complete the bridges before the crowd arrives. After that, the pioneer must not be ahead anymore, because of the trap. That's tricky to balance. The final part is quite simple, though.

17 - Bad Reflection 

Easier than the previous two, but a bit hackish. I simply trapped the crowd in the middle which wasn't easy to achieve because of the trap. So the pioneer had his peace and could build to the exit before I bombed the others free.

18 - Dual Flavored Swirls 

Great level, but a hard one for me. I tried a lot of different things here which didn't work and made me think that the solution is probably pretty messy. Which wasn't true at all.

19 - Convergence Disorder

Way easier than I thought. Maybe that was because I was on the right track here from the beginning - by not using the two bashers to bash both crowds out. In the meantime it seemed like the builders would run out, but this was not the case fortunately.

20 - Eclectic Power

Very hard level for me, one of the hardest of the rank and a taste of what's to come. Especially the bottom area was hard to figure out since what I did in the upper half didn't work there. Impressive level!

:lemming: Scando 01 - Cabinet of Curiosities
I still need to find a way to enforce the basher to be released by a bomber at the begining but otherwise this is perfect.

:lemming: Scando 16 - Take Five
I think it's the first time I see a replay to this level being so close to my solution! I may be able to fix this level after all.

:lemming: Impero 06 - Hypostyle Freestyle
Perfect

:lemming: Impero 08 - Forbidden Friendship
Perfect

:lemming: Impero 12 - Emeraldpunk 5047
Also perfect, except you managed to make the last bomber timing less tight. May need a little fix, but otherwise I'm happy with your replay.

:lemming: Impero 14 - A tad mad, a tad rad!
Aaand finally, an almost perfect replay to this level! I mean, you did everything correctly but your timing is a bit different which made the end of the level longer. Otherwise this is pretty neat.

Congrats on solving all of these  :thumbsup:

Scando

1 - Cabinet of Curiosities

A cozy start. I had some minor problems in the end - until I realized that the digger, which I had left, had to be used in the first part of the level. So I swapped the digger for a second bomber and everything was fine.  Visually, a great level.

2 - A Time to Kill and a Time to Save

Actually a pretty good level, but a little harsh on timing - at least the way I did. Took me a bit to see the purpose of the bomber, though.

3 - Structure of Matter

Hard, but a fantastic and fascinating level. I especially love how some of the Lemmings have to be bombed through the steel to make the part beneath climbable. Also, resource management is absolutely important here.
