I will probably puzzle myself through the levels in the first week of October as I have the week off there.

I see there are still quite a few backroutes in there.

@kaywhyn @Armani: You both got the same acceptable/intended solution to my R1, great job!

The saved blocker is exactly for avoiding that one timing thing as kaywhyn described!

@Armani:

Still a bad backroute to R2 though. More steel should fix it hopefully.

I've decided to go through all previous level design contests and LOTY contests and list the winners and 2nd placements.

3rd placements were often not documented or if they were are often a result of ties between two winners. LOTY often did document those though.

In a few cases persons also occupied also multiple placements - like levels from person A took 2nd and 3rd place.

I plan to update the list after future contests. Enjoy!

@Armani

Yeah, that's still quite backroutey.

Some miners are now pick-ups in V2.

The pack overall has also been updated again!

I solved Icho's R3 level. I like it a lot.

Intended solution!

You even managed to save one more shimmier than in my own solution! Which is totally fine in this level as long as the correct overall method is being used.

Pack has been updated and it also includes now a new level+music from Armani for Rule 3! 

That one slipped right past me while preparing pack+topic.

All zips only need to be unzipped inside the main folder of your NeoLemmix Player!

I am at my hometown for the time from the 2.9 until roughly the 6.9, so less activity during that timeframe.
