No worries, can't please everyone with every level! 

Still a really good pack! 

In "Though 19", while the solution is great the level layout itself was a bit too cluttered with traps, One-way-Walls and fireblowers for my taste.
I think with a different design approach in a few places/areas one could make it look and feel a bit cleaner.
It is still not totally over the top though and it's just a small thing.
I know things like this happen during fixing and level creation and I myself have created levels like these after a few iterations of fixes, but then I am always finding myself sad that I did not find a cleaner way.
Still a very good level! 

Quote from: Simon on June 09, 2026, 10:15:53 AMWhen two levels in the same pack share an ID, it confuses the mass verifier, okay.

What is with levels across different packs? Is it okay to duplicate one of the IDs outside the pack, as long as the pack, among itself, has all-different IDs?

Assuming it's okay to duplicate IDs outside the pack: How do authors with N packs verify solvability? Verify each pack individually, and point for each pack to a different tree of replays?

-- Simon

Across different packs, duplicate IDs do not really matter.

Replays are being checked in the mass replay checker out of one folder for one pack, so as long as a pack itself has no duplicate IDs everything is fine.

That way we cannot really run out of IDs.
The extremely rare case it could matter is if you create a compilation pack with levels from different packs, but I have yet to see an ID-collision there.

For replay verification of N packs: I go to each of the N packs in the level selection tree and click on the Mass Replay Check button for each one and select the respective folder. So I verify each pack individually as you stated.

I've noticed the disappearance of a lot of forum avatars, including mine.

I suspect this is the issue. 

Was a very enjoyable stream today where we went through quite a lot of entries from most authors! 

Here are my solutions! 

A really good first pack!

Although I must say you do enjoy torturing your friends for sure! 

This is not a pack I would advise beginners to start with! Especially the last rank is quite tough.

I would say it is "Medium" to even "Medium-Hard" as a few levels were quite the difficulty spikes!

My favorites were "Medium 26", Medium 27", Medium 29", "Tough 18", "Tough 9" and "Tough 3". These I really liked and "Tough 3" being the hardest level of the pack for me! 

"Tough 19" is on the verge of greatness but some things were a bit fiddly, the timer is not needed in my opinion and the level looks a bit messy.

There are a few levels I don't like and the prime example is "Tough 30" - It just feels like a few levels duct-taped together and quite a lot of the things I already saw before and it felt a bit like a chore.
Yeah, that should be the theme of the level, but it's just really exhausting and not that interesting
I enjoy seing different, new and interesting things and not just the difficulty coming from more and more stuff being tagged on.

A few unnecesary timers here and there, but that's a minor thing.

I still really enjoyed the pack! 

I will watch your progress with great interest! 

One thing: The "devil-heads" should actually represent some meteors 

Development is slow, but I am still making some progress. 

I have just reached the 45 new level mark, while also having gathered 42 contest levels.

I added preview pictures in the first post for the currently planned ranks to give a little sneak-peak. 

No rank names for everything yet, but that's a thing for another time. I am tending to theme it around the pack's name "Isolation" though.

The solutions for my levels are intended! Great job! 

Updated the pack with the new versions of Guigui's levels. 

@kaywhyn Yeah, I was looking at the wrong month in my kalendar. I changed the deadline to June 26th. Thanks for the notice!

@JawaJuice I just noticed today that Guigui's pm only sent me a part of the levels that were nominated, so I took the rest out of my download of "Save One" where I was told that there were no more backroutes in my solutions.
I was not aware of another update. If Guigui insits, i can update the pack with another version. 
@Guigui If you wish to update, please just pm or post your update here!

In general: This pack is nothing more than an optional service I provide as an attempt to make all nominated levels more easily accessible. I do not guarantee 100% correctness with the level versions!

Quote from: JawaJuice on May 24, 2026, 04:55:30 PMNice one, @Icho I think the Music tracks link might be broken though

Thanks for the hint. The link should be fixed now. 

Alright, so nominations are now closed. Before we open the voting, we first offer a period to play the levels again, to familiarize yourself with those you haven't yet played and review those you have.

The list of nominated levels can be found in the nominations topic, I see no need to duplicate it here. It also contains information on where to find these levels outside of my compilation here.

Download links:

- NL Levelpack of all nominated levels.

Every author with 3 or more levels in this category gets an own rank in the pack. At the end there is a mixed rank for the leftover levels. Extract the zip file inside the main NL folder.

- Music tracks

The custom music tacks of the nominated levels. Extract the zip file inside the main NL folder.

Note: The music packs for LOTY 2017 and 2018 are now removed due to space issues. You can still gather the music yourself or ask for it though. 

- Replay collection

Some gathered replays from a few of the nominated levels. As this was optional, only a part of the pack is covered here.

- Styles not found in the standard library


All other styles should be accesible over the standard NL styles library!

Playing phase will end: June 26th 2026

General level feedback and solution replays can be posted here in the topic if you want! Have fun playing!

If there are any errors I've made in the collection, don't hesitate to inform me here! As a reminder: This pack is nothing more than an optional service I provide as an attempt to make all nominated levels more easily accessible.

Here are my solutions. 

I think the pack went a bit under my radar when it released. 

Thanks to JawaJuice for making me realise that I skipped this one!

I noticed that levels 3 + 13 and 8 + 18 have the same level-ID and therefore the mass replay checker went a bit crazy. 

I will be away on a little holiday until Sunday. 

I just contacted all authors for the compilation pack for the playing phase of LOTY 2025.

When I got everything together and created the pack, I will start the playing phase. 

I aim to get this done in around 2 weeks from now and keep the playing phase up for around a month.
