For those who want to see the intended solutions to my levels, here it is

Spoiler

I see what you mean now by my crowd control method being different

In the meantime, here's my solution to V7 of The Incredible Doom Machine.

Finally got the timing right on "Very Particular Set of Skills"!  Liam Neeson would be proud!

Spoiler

Quite difficult to get the sequence right because of the risk of lemmings walking into the propellors or arriving too quickly for the lemmings up above to bomb away the obstructions.  Enjoyable little puzzle though.

Got another solution to "The Incredible Doom Machine".

Re-completed "The Incredible Doom Machine" - something tells me this might be intended!

Thanks Ericderkovits.  I never knew it it was an American Civil War song.  Now I'm trying to learn the lyrics and sing it correctly to the melody!

I did wonder that - I'm glad you approve though!  I dare ask... what's the name of the song that the level's music track is based on?  I know the melody, but unfortunately I only know it through a rude version!!

EDIT: Found it.  It's "When Johnny Comes Marching Home".

ADDENDUM: Got another gold talisman solution.  Not quite as fiddly, but still fiddly near the start.

I wish you luck in fixing the level.  Sorry to cause such a break.  I've learnt the hard way that the more intricate a solution, the easier it is to break.  Also some advanced tricks that one might not be aware of is also a destroyer of souls (blockers in digger pits did it for me once!)

On another note, after a lot of fiddling, I got the gold talisman for "March of the Neutrals"!

ADDENDUM: Also completed:

Set to Kill!

This was very fiddly and certainly can't be done without NeoLemmix frame stepping and replay editing (blue R), but was a nice puzzle to work out.

And this one saves all 20!

If the solution is what i think it is, then...

Spoiler

a fix could be to move that platform above back 1 pixel, although it will increase the precision a bit.

Solved "Don't Bash it Before You Dig It 2" again.  The second replay is me optimising the first one to save all but one.

And for some reason I forgot that the spoiler tag was a thing!

What???!!! Even though you did it correctly when you did your first round of solves along with some resolves? Hehe, no worries, all good. Staff will be happy to do so if it's necessary! You're doing pretty good with getting these levels solved yourself!

I just woke up and got mixed up with Discord's spoiler thing, thinking it existed in one system and not the other.  I'm a bit more awake now!

Playing these levels has improved my solving skill quite a bit, although I am somewhat slower than you and Armani... certainly not fast enough for a YouTube series yet!  Certain tricks I wouldn't have thought of though, since I'm still getting to grips with some of the newer skills.

Also, with the newly-placed flame blowers of V6, I would have worked it out because it makes it clear

Spoiler

that the miner has to be used to get through.

Ok, that's with the current version. You didn't have this in earlier versions of my R3!

That's fair!  And for some reason I forgot that the spoiler tag was a thing!

In the meantime, here's my solution to Don't Bash it Before You Dig It 2.

Nobody's perfect!  I'm still learning to see deceit, even if unintentional!

Understood! Depending on the level, they're not always easy to spot or even know whether they are distractions ahead of time and therefore can be dismissed

So there I was, playing around with all these levels that are wayyyyyyyy too hard for me but are nevertheless very joyful .
Then I come across "Don't bash it before you dig it" and after about 1 hour, I beat it. Full of joy I seek to compare my solution to the others posted here. With terror in my eyes I notice that

1. JRTs level is currently withdrawn
2. Everyone elses solution is mere seconds, and mine is 2 minutes long
3. Everyone seems to agree that the surroundings of the level are red herrings.

Well shooks. I'm here feasting on my red herrings. I'm still proud of my solution

That is actually impressive!

I hope JRT adjusts his level to abide by the rules, but keeps that option available as a talisman solution somehow!

Second one is absolutely intended - well done!
