Here is my feedback! 


- The backgrounds I would say are all good alternatives! 

For the secondary animations I would say that not all of them are straight upgrades:

- ohno_bubble zapper I would say makes the effect of the trap clearer!    Here.

- ohno_rock chameleon Looks more natural and also gets a 

- ohno_rock weed trap I would classify as a downgrade. The bobs look more unnatural in my opinion and the old one looks more appealing.

- orig_crystal electric trap I would say is now unclearer and would prefer the old one. The electric static on top of it fits better and shows what to expect. I have a suggestion though: Combine the two! First a shine and then the static to finish it off.

- orig_dirt rock trap Here I am for keeping the frequency high! This is one of the more hidden traps and more frequent drips reduce the chance that the trap gets overlooked.

To be honest: I've not known about this unil today as I was away the last week (Xmas stuff) and do not consider this topic as a high prio read as in here are mostly updates to custom sets.

@Will: Could you maybe make a dedicated topic with a comparison of the changed animations and the added optional backgrounds?

That way it is way easier for everyone to quickly see the changes without having to switch tileset versions and test it all manually. I highly suspect very few have the patience to test everything manually for some secondary animations - me included - and is therefore simply silent and stays with the old ones.

I will be away in my hometown a few days over the holidays. See you when I'm back again! 

My resolve for Armani's R2. This time no skill left over. 

Here is my first batch of solutions! 

I saved a builder on Armani's R2 and I most likely backrouted Crane's R3.

The rest looks intended to me at first glance. 

As things solwed down a bit, I will try and go through the entries next weekend or so. 

@JawaJuice

Your solutions for my three entries are now intended! Great job! 

@JawaJuice

Thanks for the 2 replays and you found some nice backroutes that need urgent fixing! 

I updated the levels so that in my R1 you cannot go over that ridge so easily and in my R2 I put a limiter on the exits so that you have to use both.   

Update for my R1 and R2 level.

R1

V2:  Increased the hright of a wall.

R2

V2: Put a limiter on the exits so that each one can only be used by one lemming.

I would be against a mandatory replay submissions. Or even a marker for non-verified packs. 

We should keep the barrier for submitting packs as low as possible and such a marker could drive people away from otherwise great packs.

I highly doubt everyone who makes levels cares enough about having such a marker removed (or even noticing it in the first place).

Only a very small fraction of packs has this problem anyway - even though it is frustrating at times.

That's why I ask, when I'm stuck at a new author's level, if they indeed can verify that it is solvable before I really spend my time here.

Instead I would stick to highly encouraging and advertising the creation of master replays.

We are a small community and should not raise the bar for new people in terms of properly participating! 


I do not want to link all my master replays to my packs right away as well. Another workaround would be proving a "ReplayResult.txt" file for packs that NL gives out after a mass replay check as a proof of solvabilty.

@Armani   You solutions are all intended/acceptable alternatives, great job! 

Yeah, I spent quite a bit of time planning out my R2 level so no backroutes open up and create everything in a clean way.

Quote from: Crane on November 17, 2025, 04:46:57 PMThese are my solutions... the only levels I haven't yet beaten are, unsurprisingly, Armani's!

The solutions for my levels are all fine! 

Totally agree here! 

A confirmation from the author that the level is indeed solvable, or a replay checker result file would be enough for me as a confirmation, but yeah level and replay should always come together in pairs!

Note: This topic is ONLY for posting updates to your levels, or making late submissions. All other posts will be deleted. If you want to discuss the levels, post replays, etc, please do so in the Discussion Topic.

Please follow these rules for updates:
1. When posting a new updated version of a level, remove any old updated versions of that level --> Have all your recent updates stored in 1 post! I will delete such old posts eventually if the author doesn't; so don't store any important information in them.
2. Make a new post for a new update; do not edit your most recent post. You may, however, post updates to multiple entries (if you have more than one) in the same post.
3. Use the same filename as found in the ZIP of the entered levels, with "V2" "V3" etc added at the end. No matter how minor an update is, give it a new number.
4. Do not post in this topic, unless it's to post an update to your levels. Use the discussion topic instead for anything else.

Please use the same naming format as in the zip file:  User1_Levelname_R3V5.lvl ---> Level "Levelname" by User1  for Rule 3  Version 5 of the level 

For late submissions also, please use the same kind of filename as is used in the main levels download - ie: your username, and "R1" "R2" or "R3" to mark which rule the level is for. Please be sure to check the original contest announcement topic for the rules; as the notes in the discussion topic are simply meant as reminders, not full explanations of the rules.

Please use the right naming format when posting updates! That would lead to less confusions and less work for everyone.
