Wow, nice level for my ruleset, but sadly I found an extremely easy way to contain the crowd to prepare the route so that it doesn't rely too much on timing Still, deceptively difficult despite being a bashers and bomber only level!

Once again, I continue to be amazed at what one can do in Lix. Seems that this is only possible due to the wrap feature, though a level like this should theoretically also be possible to make in NL when the engine at one point had the wrap gimmick. Solution still isn't too obvious or trivial in any way despite just being a miner and blockers only level.

Wow, this was deceivingly tough but a good one, just like Icho said. I thought I could get it solved by being able to bash to the right and also through the staircase as well, allowing an alternative solution but seems the basher will always top before the staircase. The other idea I had for a while was building at the very bottom, but then I thought wait, the climber will just get into trouble when he gets to the far left and fall down and splat. Not sure why it took me a while to realize that you can use a blocker to have him go back the other way so that he can bash through to allow the others to use the right exit Nice, this trick is always great fun for me to see in action! Definitely reminds me of Festive 6 from your Halloween Lemmings 2023 pack. This took a few tries to get right, as then the hardest part was making sure only two went through to the bottom while everyone else gets contained at the bottom right.

My only other critique here is that the timing is really tight with bashing the white spike to release the blocker and the builder finishing just barely in the nick of time before he slips by the builder. Was wondering if the spike can therefore be made a bit thicker Other than that, great job with the level.

Nice level, though this still took me some time to figure out how to get two worker Lemmings in order to do the mining and fencing simultaneously so that you don't run out of time. Turns out I kept assigning skills to the wrong Lermmings, and I eventually noticed the 94RR and thought, wait, isn't this the RR which allows a climber to not turn around in a basher tunnel? Ah, there's that throwback to Cunning 3 from Lemmings Cranium, though this level is more similar to Chaos 24 in terms of the trick being applied in a more complicated level but a lot easier to apply since you don't have that many options at all in this level. Also nice use of a track from PimoLems!

Pretty much had the level figured out somewhat fairly quick, though the hardest part here was seeing to delay the swimmer skill assignment as long as possible in order to get two Lemmings past the water squirting trap in order to use the block in front of the laser so he can release both the left-most neutral groups. Before I saw this, I kept thinking about other things, such as how to get a Lemming into place to bomb the other two neutral groups out with the shimmiers and other skills provided. I thought maybe someone needed to turn around at the very top at the start and jump to avoid the trap, but turns out you'll end up some skills short.

My main critique here is why the heck is a lot of the normal entrance off the top of the level Personally, this looks sloppy to me, though it might just be me having an issue with things appearing outside the visible portions of the level. Of course, the easiest thing to do here is to simply increase the height of the level or move the entrance down until all of it is visible and not hidden from sight. Otherwise, quite a decent level with one of Dexter's new tilesets

One of the final two levels I solved, just like some of the others have said, this is way too fiddly and annoying to execute, with the entire level being complete guesswork x12, as you cannot have two Lemmings land on the tip of the spike at the bottom simultaneously. Gave up on this in frustration before I decided to buckle down and get it solved for real. Eventually in the end, I resorted to replay edit mode and still had to spend a good 10 minutes or so before I finally found something that worked. However, seems this isn't the only way to get the level solved, as you have stated there's many solutions that also get the job done. Well, I haven't checked any of his replays, but I'm convinced of the truth due to the many solutions that Crane has found to it. I myself am not going to bother going back to see if I can find other multiple solutions, though. The level's already annoying enough due to being very precise on the diggers and not knowing if the solution is correct until you do the building section at the bottom.

Sorry, this should be a backroute as I don't even use the left part of the level at the bottom. I used a very brute force way to sneak past the fire trap near the OWW and made sure that the basher didn't tank the OWAs to turn around. I checked your video of the intended solution and I had a suspicion that the bottom left is used so that the timing all works out. Still a deceivingly difficult level even if I figured out some things pretty quickly! Most definitely getting the timing right is the hardest in the level.

Another fairly decent level with another one of Dexter's new tilesets. I've attached two solutions, first just solving it and then for the talismans. Solving the level without using the basher took a while, but I eventually found a way to do so by tanking steel to allow the neutrals to get ahead of the Lemming.

I understand that this is supposed to be a long march the neutrals have to do in the level, but there is way too much walking with the player not needing to do anything at all. I know Nepster certainly would criticize a level like this for that. Most importantly, why the heck do you have two talismans where the silver one is also in the gold one plus the requirement of no more than one bomber allowed? The silver one can simply be removed. If the concern is due to people might want to read the talisman before solving the level, then keep in mind some solve the level first and might not even bother with them or later go back and get them, like was the case with me.

For the record, I criticized Silken for doing the exact same thing with one of their levels with having a redundant talisman, and they ended up removing one of them

Wow, trickier than I thought it was. Thought I could cheese the level by not needing to take the long way around, but I couldn't get it to work. Guess you really do need to take the hint in the level title here in order to get up to the exit. Anyway, I'm not sure if my solution is intended.

Sorry, this is most definitely a backroute! This was pretty much the final level I got solved. Deceivingly difficult, and another approach I tried comes really close but unfortunately the climber worker goes out the wrong way. I might have an idea as to what's intended, but I will try again after an update

This one didn't look so bad until I saw to my horror that the end part is too thick to step up through the ceiling even with the basher/blocker staircase. So, this meant that I would need to save both bashers for the end then. So, the hardest part was how to do the start without using a basher, as tempting as it is. Pretty fiddly at the start but it can be done with some well-placed bombers and a digger. I do have a digger leftover, so I don't know if this is a backroute or an acceptable alternative where I might had been more efficient.

Wasn't exactly one of my favorites due to needing to fiddle around with the miner placements so that they both can cross without cancelling each other, as well as the huge amount of building needed to be done, but this one at least isn't overkill like JRT's R3. Again, why the heck do you have entrances at the top partially off the top of the screen?

Yea, I can definitely see why Icho refused to play this one all the way. This one wasn't exactly fun for me to do due to so much building needed to be done. You might as well just give the player 99 or an infinite amount of builders so that it's not a worry that one would run out of builders at all. Even then, that still probably wouldn't get Icho to play the level entirely. It's really obvious what you need to do, but the fact you need to place the builders pretty precisely so that you can get one long digger in a few places while taking care of the splat height was pretty annoying. I haven't said this to you at any point yet, but remember that in NL that "just because you can doesn't mean you should." There are some types of levels the NL community generally dislike, such as builder heavy levels.

Also my very first builder/miner combo level!

400 metres 1 - Jasmine O.o one of my favorite Disney princesses from a really awesome Disney movie Very nice level with an image of Jasmine on Carpet. I definitely remember some Aladdin levels from your The Lemmings Have Grown pack Quite honestly, this one was a bit more frustrating than it needed to be, though I admit that I quite likely self-inflicted a lot of extreme precision here. Now I'm really curious what your intended solution is here, in regards to the other slider skill you provided which I didn't use, similar to Armani The very end is quite messy what I did

400 metres 2 - Purple rain The only special thing here is bombing away terrain so that you can platform and clone, but otherwise isn't anything special. Also there aren't that many possibilities at all here, so this one was a pretty quick solve.

400 metres 3 - The infernal moat Another case of a level that's way too difficult for its position this early in the rank. This one managed to stump me very badly for a few days. There are so many possibilities here that look like they can work but they don't: I've tried to bomb the very top of the pillar in order to get a shimmier all the way across in order to build to get a climber to the top exit, interrupting a destructive skill midstroke so that you can seal off the 1-pixel gap with a builder so that no one else can follow, but then you run into problems with dealing with the "just" splat height with the shelf coming back to the right, as well as not being able to build twice in order to use the underside to shimmy to get to the upper exit, and I've even tried tunneling underneath the OWW from the right side to see if I can create the situation of allowing a swimmer to climb up the pillar but instead he always dives underneath and gets back into the tunnel he makes. Most importantly, I kept falling for the use of mining in order to turn everyone back to the right where the bottom exit is. All of these make for an extremely deceptively difficult level

Ultimately, it's really just an extension of the previous level, just with the miner to do so in order for the builder to keep going uninterrupted. It's really interesting, as one night I was wondering, "what if the pillar wasn't there, would it be possible to build on top of the OWW in order to reach the upper platform?" So I tried it and indeed it does work, you just need to place the bomber very carefully and also get the miner timing right. All in all, a really nice solution with so many red herrings, and who knew that you do indeed go through the OWW with a basher from the right side But yes, this level absolutely needs to move further down the rank!

400 metres 4 - Queen's palace (episode 11) Somewhat of a breather (in general these Queen palace levels serve as nice breathers in between all the really hard levels ) but still a nice one. I have a climber left, but I'm sure its purpose of delaying the other Lemming to give the main one enough time to do the work to keep the other safe is the same as how I used one of the climbers. Then again, one can do the left part easier with RR manipulation.

400 metres 5 - Bash and dash This one very much reminds me of a level from LPO2, except this one involves keeping a basher going in the other direction with only stackers, rather than a fencer and platformers and stackers to help with it. In a way, I guess I didn't have to really complain here, as the fencer is far more easily cancelled compared to the basher in NL, but this one is still very difficult to set up correctly and therefore it's just very hard in the execution. Indeed, my reaction was, "oh hell no, David did not just go there with this one" However, I'm told that David has decided to replace this with another level, which I think I'm fine with The big saving grace here is David at least provided a lot of surplus skills for once so that running out of skills while setting up the super fiddly situation is never a problem.

400 metres 6 - Cloning lab Another hard level but a pretty good one. The most difficult part of the level was seeing the use of the blocker, which is for bombing another one in order to release the blocker but still providing him a way to get into the bomber hole in order to bash at the very top. At least in my solution it's very precise, but Armani shows that my way isn't the only way to do the upper left area. Another hard part was getting a non-glider to do the bashing, as a glider would walk into the trap in the upper right corner. Also I'm not sure why it took me some time to see that you can just mine from the left side at the bottom rather than need someone to come from the other side to do so. In a way kind of reminds me of Crane's "Cloning Vats."

400 metres 7 - In the library Not as hard as the previous level but still challenging. This one was a quicker solve, with the only hard part being how to cancel the digger without actually assigning anything to the digger. The answer is to use a faller to bomb in order to stop the digger. Only this way allows you to have the necessary skills to get the level solved. I do believe this is the first custom Lemmings level that completely enforces this bombing a faller trick to stop a digger. Nice!

400 metres 8 - Queen's palace (episode 12) Pretty much another extension to 400 metres 2/3 in that it's another case of keeping a builder going uninterrupted both times. The zombies are a non-problem completely here.

400 metres 9 - The lifts Another really hard level but is one of my favorites of the pack A lot of red herrings here and quite a deceptively difficult level even with just mostly bashers/builders. At one point I thought maybe the ceiling route is the way to go as I couldn't quite figure out how to get a non-glider to the bottom middle area to build to stop the glider from getting into trouble, but you don't have enough skills to do so, especially as the basher isn't able to destroy the floor to allow the others to drop down to the exit. They would need help from the right side to do so. Also I kept fiddling around for a really long time with stacking in front of the teleporter and then finding the correct basher placement to make a hole so the others can step up from the left side while no one else besides the swimmer/glider uses the teleporter, but I couldn't get it to work and gave up in frustration after a while. Turns out that's a completely wrong way to go about the level and other than the extremely difficult timing in the bottom middle area to build and stop the non-gliding shimmier, the level has a very clean solution. Well done with this level, David!

400 metres 10 - After the space shuttle explosion The concept is cool and all (stacking underneath the receiver in order to keep the laserer going uninterrupted, as well as using a blocker to turn the laser in order to free all 3 neutral groups, but this level was super frustrating to do, as most of the time I didn't have a Lemming nearby at the right time in order to bash away the stack to stop the laserer so that the left-most neutral group does not go out to the left to fall down and splat If this trick of stopping the laserer with a nearby basher isn't important, you could always provide another walker so that the timing is completely eliminated. Or, if you still want to keep this part in (part of me says yea, keep it), maybe you can make the walkway smaller so that there's less walking and therefore a higher chance of having a Lemming close by at the right time. Yet maybe another option is to simply increase the Lemming count slightly (maybe anywhere from 15-20 ) so that the timing isn't as frustrating, as most of the time I kept running out of Lemmings to do the whole lasering and blocking to turn him.

Also another frustration that resulted was making sure no one uses the teleporter coming from the right side before the worker was done platforming up the gap. This took a while to figure out how to do, especially with it involving a lot of RR manipulation. This is heavily compounded with the very small Lemming count and when these are combined resulted in a lot of frustration.

In summary: Great level, just very frustrating to execute because of the Lemming count and how most of the time the player probably won't have a nearby Lemming to bash the stack to interrupt the laserer at the right time. Also, I'm not sure how the game determines who to teleport first, the laserer or the blocker. I had cases where the latter happened before the former, which cannot happen because the laserer would had stopped long before the teleporter is ready to take him. I don't think there's anything you can do about it to always guarantee it will take the laserer first every time, though. So, no fault of yours at all

400 metres 11 - Lemmings go shopping (episode 2) Far harder than the original episode back in the 100 metres rank and which Armani accurately describes as "hit or miss" in that you either get the level solved very quickly, or you're quite possibly stuck here for a really long time (like I was ) or forever otherwise. Indeed, some set of 3 pickups get you very close but ultimately doesn't result in a solve. Instead, you really need to think outside the box and realize that you must collect 4 sets of pickups. I think eventually after a while I realized if I had another of this skill yada yada yada it would be level solved, and then I was able to make the connection that you somehow need to get out of one of the pits to collect more skills. I originally thought to build and then jump, but he will always hit his head when doing the latter. Then it finally dawned on me after a while that that's the whole purpose of the stacker. It doesn't play any role in the main solution with the crowd, just on the far left side to collect pickups. The rest was easy after that, but you still need to determine the best sets of pickups to collect. Really nice level here, though!

400 metres 12 - Queen's palace (episode 13) Another nice one, especially with sending up another climber while the first one builds at the top in order to bash away the staircase so that when the builder hits his head to turn back to the right he can drop down and build to the OWW to bash away the bottom portion of it at the top. Reminds me of I believe a level from MobiLems.

400 metres 13 - You have to charm the snakes! Pretty much the only level of the rank that I consider a breather, though I'm not sure if 400 metres 3 needs to move this far down (the only other possible candidate I think is 400 metres 7, even though it doesn't really extend the concept used in 400 metres 2). I'm already aware of stopping a miner midstroke so that you can use the nook to platform and therefore get up the miner tunnel. Same thing with platformers still being able to disarm traps, that's not new to me either. The hardest part was just timing the climbers in order to get the glider ahead at the right time in order to drop down and disarm the snake trap so that the platformer doesn't get interrupted so that the next time you assign the skill he can close off the gap completely. Overall, the solution is quite easy to see here, just the timing can be tricky to get correct. But yea, pretty much a breather level.

400 metres 14 - The impassable walls Good level up until the use of the blocker to turn a basher but the former also gets released. For some reason, I didn't think it was possible to still be able to make a staircase when doing this. I'm probably just not remembering it correctly, because I think I always had it so that the basher always makes a full stroke or never makes a step up. Even then, regardless of how it's actually done, I personally don't like the basher/blocker trick, as it's very unintuitive and doesn't make much sense IMO. After completing the pack, I didn't realize you adopted Armani's solution as the new intended one for the end part. I think yea you can revert it back to your original solution, as it's still pretty difficult this way but it at least won't rely on this very obscure behavior that would escape a lot of players, as they will very likely not even think of it at all or try it.

400 metres 15 - Dexter's lab Wow, really hard one but yet another favorite of mine! That is a very long shimmier, which I realized very quickly but it was very hard for me to realize how to set it up. The small detail I missed was being able to bash to the right at the top without needing to also invest a digger. I kept doing it from the right side, which absolutely requires a digger too. The timing is really difficult to get correct here, but that seems to be the whole purpose of the walker skill. If anything, probably more walkers can be provided, but it's not absolutely necessary. Even when I finally figured out the correct setup, the only other thing I forgot about was not lasering the top left area before the shimmier gets there first. In my solution, I needed the digging to be done at a time where I wouldn't get anyone to fall out going to the left and therefore get trapped at the bottom on the wrong side. This required a bit of tweaking, though probably with some RR manipulation it can be done way more easily every time. Well done with this level, David!

By the way, was this level in any way inspired by my "Don't Stop Shimmying Til You Get Enough"? Very similar concept, just without one-way force fields

400 metres 16 - Queen's palace (episode 14) Very nice concept with extending a basher with builders so that when he uses the teleporter he continues to bash through the wall in the upper left. However, this proved to be frustrating, due to what I think is a bug in that Lemmings can get infected before the receiver door opens, as they get zombified when the animation of the receiver starts when a zombie is in front of the receiver trigger. Luckily, the solution still works even with this "bug," but yea, I found it very annoying that I'll submit a NL player report to namida/the community later on about it.

400 metres 17 - You have to go find a disarmer! Hard one too but another great level! I especially love the use of the shimmier jump in order to get on top of the platformer bridge on the far left. Interestingly enough, the hardest part of the solution for me was bashing and then interrupting midstroke so that the disarmer can still go through to the right while not allowing the crowd to go out to the left to their deaths. Maybe the precision can be reduced there a bit, but probably not necessary since one can just adjust the positioning of the basher. Also one needs to realize the trick of bombing a Lemming trapped between two closely placed blockers in order to release both the blockers and the crowd all in the same direction. That one I realized very quickly, but you also need to keep in mind it works only with an odd number RR.

400 metres 18 - The building site Ok level but not exactly one of my favorites due to how much fiddling you need to do in order to find something that works. In particular, I tend to be quite bad at solving levels when there are a lot of stackers provided You don't need to change the skillset, though. I think plenty of players here aren't good at using stackers to solve levels. I do like the start with platforming where the builder is working in order to turn him around to build across the gap before the others turn back around and arrive too early before it's done, though! Open-ended level, it seems, as there seems to be multiple ways to do the level. Not sure if it's possible to have any spare skills, though!

400 metres 19 - Angkor temple Quite possibly the hardest level of the pack, along with 400 metres 11. Indeed, for a time I was wondering how the heck do you get out of the starting area, with the answer only coming to me when I noticed a Lemming descending on those yellow tiles. Now that I think about it, I do believe one of GigaLem's levels make use of this, so I must had forgotten about this since Even after figuring the start out, my biggest problems come from the bottom middle area with the splat pad. I kept having trouble figuring out how to turn a worker around, as for a really long time I kept thinking that you need to use a blocker in front of the locked exit. It's probably not possible, as you need to get up the middle to be in place to bash the blocker at the start free from the right side of the thin steel blocks. The part that took me the longest to figure out was that you can actually bash back to the right in order to leave a builder step past the steel that the neutrals can land on and then fall the rest of the way down safely, though this is pretty much safe by just a pixel. Consider giving more leeway and making it clearer that the rest of the drop isn't fatal This should had came to me earlier, as the 3 yellow tiles in the starting area pretty much all serve as "hints of sorts."

Other things I kept thinking must be the answer is bashing away the terrain so that the neutrals don't drop onto the trigger of the splat pad (really good red herring!) but then I don't have a way to turn around the worker at all. Complications also came from being able to get into the neutral area to get the button due to the blocker, as I think I kept running out of the interruption skills, along with bashing through the square from the right side. Before I realized the builder past the steel wall trick, I kept thinking the worker needs to climb up the left side, not the right side. Great level in the end which is pretty much the final really hard level of the pack (the only hard ones after this IMO are both One minute 9 and One minute 10)!

400 metres 20 - Queen's palace (episode 15) A very quick solve but a really nice level to finish off the rank. Just another case of "extending" a basher.   

One minute 1 - Lemmings think they are kangaroos! Ok level to start off the rank, though personally didn't like it too much due to how much fiddling you need to do in order to find something that works. You really need to know the jumper mechanics well and how to use them properly at the right spots to save time efficiently. There were plenty of times where I was too slow by some frames, even one solution not working by a single frame! The right-most exit is definitely the hardest one to get to on time.

One minute 2 - Athletes and triathletes Pretty much a breather, though I was a dummy here and didn't realize that the top Lemming can get out to the left without being a climber He absolutely must help the left-most Lemming by being the one to disarm the traps in order to give him enough time to make it to the exit, as the RR is locked and therefore you cannot speed up the completion.

One minute 3 - The judgment of the soul Yet another really easy one, as the straightforward normal solution (with the only added caveat being that you need to get an additional worker by building over the pit) works to my surprise. For some reason I thought the miner would be too slow to release them

One minute 4 - Romantic walk A bit harder than the previous two levels, but this one wasn't too bad either. The hardest part of the level was getting the left-most button, but even that is just a simple digger with the tail end of the Lemming train. The really high Lemming count is a worry in regards to the 1 minute time limit, but luckily it's not super tight at all.

One minute 5 - In Midas' palace Even harder than the previous level but a really good one! I didn't realize what the digger was for for a really long time. I only realized what it was for after I always kept running out of time without using it. It is pretty precise, though, so maybe another one where there can be some more leeway in its placement

One minute 6 - U-turns Repeat of 100 metres 1, except you have a 1-of-everything skillset AND a 1 minute time limit (of course! ) rather than infinite time. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be that easy with just digging, building, and mining, though even this solution isn't easy, as I still needed to do some RR manipulation in order to finish on time! I still enjoyed this level very much, even if it didn't take me anywhere near as long as 100 metres 1

One minute 7 - In the dark woods Isn't this a level from The Lemmings Have Grown? Nice level, and the release with the bomber was a nice touch, though it was uncertain until I tried it. Guess that's why the steel is placed the way it is in the level. I especially love the epic spooky music in this level! If it is a level from your previous pack, it should had had this track, but you didn't know about custom music at the time, so it's understandable

One minute 8 - Rayman's cave Somewhat hard, but only because I was very confused as to how to get the worker home on time if he needs to make the long walk back from getting the button. It should had been obvious that using the twisted pieces to shorten the time spent on the far right side after 1 or 2 tries is the way to go, but honestly I didn't think it would work because of the terrain looking too thick to allow a step up through it. Great level with this tileset!

One minute 9 - Lemmings play in the garden Hard one but a great level! Kept fiddling around incorrectly with the platform at the top trying to make a step up in order to bash to the left, when in fact that's a completely wrong approach to the level. Instead, the answer is to rely on a steep enough slope to place a blocker so that Lemmings can still slip under him from the left but will be contained on the other side so that you can do the work with the final two Lemmings. The bomber is very precise, but this was very hard to see in order to get past the up arrow in order to climb on the right side to get into place to get the others up through to the platform. Then I need to tweak the digger placement a few times so that the crowd doesn't catch up to the builder too soon. Pretty tight on the time, but that was just the way I did the early parts of the level.

One minute 10 - Rock'n'fall Another hard level but a really good one to finish off a very hard pack The entire solution is not easy to see at all even though some parts should be quite clear due to the 1-of-everything skillset. Along with some proper RR manipulation, sending out two workers over the top, one of which is a climber because by that time the digger is already too low, is a great touch. Except for the floater, all of them are used to great effect in the solution, though my only critique of the level is due to the very precise bomber placement. I would consider loosening that up and giving more leeway, but if that's not possible, then it's ok, I guess. You do need to rely on the knowledge of climbers being one-pixel inside so that you can bomb further when climbing than when he isn't. 

Building the step at the top does make the fall splat height by a pixel, however to compensate for that building right next to the exit also raises it by a pixel and therefore makes the fall survivable. What's happening here is that the Lemming actually lands on top of the builder step at the bottom instead of on the ground. You can see this by framestepping with CPM on. Notice for a frame he land on the staircase and then in the next frame he descends a pixel when he walks off the step. Thus, no bug or issue here with him surviving!
