Festival 5:

Festival5 Catallena - Exactly intended! This level alone is made by my gf.

Congratulations to her, she has talent, because this level is very good: nice use of splitters and shimmier (to go up).

Funeral 8: I didn't see that you put a copy of your sister's homework in one of your answers. I should have looked first.

Funeral 9: It’s a shame you couldn’t fix this level.

Funeral 11: Even if you have to be very precise, it's still a nice level and a nice use of the laserer.

100 metres 1: I didn't think this level was that hard. In fact, you have to think about marking the path; the lemmings have to go to the top exit or the bottom exit, without detours. You just have to dig the ground in the right direction, that is to say use the miners to the left after a lemming turns around. It’s not necessary to change the RR. So I moved this level to the middle of the rank: I limited the number of lemmings per exit (it will be easier) and I brought the 3 floors closer by one pixel (so that the number of lemmings above the top exit is visible).

100 metres 2: Very good. I could reduce the drop height, but I think it fits well with the spatial spirit.

100 metres 3: Intended solution. Indeed, nothing is practical in the water. But hey, I thought it was funny.

100 metres 4: Intended solution.

100 metres 5: Intended solution. I don't know (or don't remember) Insane Steve's World. I don't know if I've seen this trick elsewhere. Where can I find this level?

100 metres 6: Perfect! I made a little change in the scenery (I added a few blocks at the bottom right) to avoid an alternative solution.

100 metres 7: Well done! But there is a better way to coordinate the two builder lemmings.

100 metres 8: Yes, this level is deceptively difficult. You just have to pay attention to the timing.

100 metres 9: Your solution is very close to mine. However, there was a much simpler way to avoid the mosquito (Moskito): you just had to build a bridge with two platforms, which allowed you to keep the jumpers to jump on the statue and come back. Also, Armani found another amazing way to solve this level.

100 metres 10: Well done! It could have been easier by using the basher to destroy the stacker wall (and free the crowd) and the palm tree at the same time. In this case, you have to build the bridge connecting the two islands before using the basher (plus, you save a builder).

I think some in the NL community wouldn't like this due to being a huge builderfest over a very huge water gap even though all of it is done with the lone Lemming on both sides. Could probably be done with a much smaller water gap without the level being too much of a loss  At the same time, this seems to be the only really builder heavy level, and so this would be considered ok !

I understand, but unlike my previous pack, I used few levels with many builders. I think 15 builders for this level is not too excessive.

100 metres 11: Expected solution. The trap was to try to clone the basher. But you quickly saw that it couldn't work. I demoted him to the beginning of the rank.

100 metres 12: That wasn't quite the solution I had intended. This level can be solved differently. I fixed the issue by removing a piece of ceiling.

100 metres 13: Well done! It's not quite the same solution as mine, but you used exactly the skills intended to get there.

100 metres 14: Yes, this is the expected solution. There is no real trap.

100 metres 15: Very good! I'm surprised it took you so long to solve it, because, from the beginning, as you say, you already had all the good ideas and you were very close to the right solution. By the way, I didn't think it was that hard. It's hard to properly assess the difficulty of your own levels. I moved it to the beginning of the 2nd rank.

100 metres 16: Perfect!

100 metres 17: Well done! I didn't think you'd do it so quickly. I made it impossible for each lemming to use its own exit by putting the updrafts (no, it wasn't to fix a backroute, I thought of that before! ).

100 metres 18: Well done, but it's a little backroute: your solution is a bit complicated but you managed to save all the lemmings! The intended solution uses the same technique: a builder to make a bridge and access the button, but not in the same way. I fixed the issue by adding a one-way-wall. I put it a little earlier in the rank.

100 metres 19: Well done! This one wasn't easy. It's a real puzzle: you have to do it step by step.

100 metres 20: Very good!

It truly amazes me how many different iterations you can make of this level with 2 climbers, 2 builders, and 2 bashers

I'm amazed too! This shows that you can create a lot of different puzzles with few tiles and few skills.

200 metres 1: This level is easier than it looks.

200 metres 2: Little backroute. Solution a little different from mine. You were not far from the intended solution though. I lowered the height of the first table.

200 metres 3: Yes, this level is probably too difficult. Well done! You have to be precise. The intended solution is the one found by Armani. So I won’t change the level by moving the exit. Sorry. However, I moved this level to the next rank.

200 metres 4: Perfect!!! Nice alternative solution. As I already wrote, the intended solution is the one given by Armani. The pickup skill is a red herring.

200 metres 5: After two or three tries, you were very close to the right solution. And then, you tried a lot of different things before finding the trick. Well done!

but I would absolutely give myself leeway in being able to reassign the shimmier skill after sliding, as it only does so for about a frame

So I made the solution a bit easier by reducing the precision for digging and building the stairs (you can't make it any simpler!).

200 metres 6: Very good! I moved it to the previous rank.

200 metres 7: That was the intended solution.

I would probably make it clearer that the glider can get past the needles trap in the middle without dying, like maybe increasing the distance between the walls or something

Yes, you're right: I put smaller traps.

200 metres 8: That was the intended solution. Indeed, I didn't take inspiration from your level, or even from Castle level. I must have seen that trick before, but I don't remember.

200 metres 9: Bravo, that's the intended solution.

I'm sure there are easier ways to get the disarmer ahead of the others to disable the trap instead of it being tight like in mine, though.

I honestly don't know!

200 metres 10: It's true, it looks like a level from my previous pack. But I almost removed it, because I don't like it very much: it requires a lot of precision.

This is another level where I would reduce the precision, as most of the time the jumper would start gliding and therefore wouldn't be able to hoist himself up onto the large steel block.

That's right. I reduced the height of the large block by two pixels to make the climb more comfortable.

200 metres 11: The use of shimmiers at the beginning seemed very interesting and not very obvious to me. Well done.

Ah, must be a Marvels fan too. At least I think this is from Superman if I'm not mistaken?

Yes, Krypton is Superman's planet.

200 metres 12: Very good. As in most Queen's palace, the solution is quite obvious, because the're only 6 skills (always the same) and a similar setting. But anyway, I tried to diversify.

200 metres 13: The only difficulty is how to bring two lemmings to the top.

200 metres 14: Bravo! I like this level!

200 metres 15: Well done! Indeed, we should invent a "painting" skill! The difficulty of this level is to think about going back and forth so as not to waste skills. The shimmier and the glider are useless.

200 metres 16: Very good. You're right, you have to manage the timing well at the beginning.

200 metres 17: In this level, you have to use the cloner to contain the crowd at the beginning. But normally, you have to clone the glider. I fixed the issue by moving the platform to reach to the right. Additionally, I improved the design a little bit.

However, I still stand by my point that the starting platform is really small to work in to contain the crowd and have the correct number of Lemmings go on to do the route. I personally would make it larger to allow more leg room

I thought about it, but if I made it larger, even just a little, the cloner would no longer be essential at the beginning to contain the crowd and we could use it later to get the unlock button. The level would no longer be interesting.

200 metres 18: The challenge here is to bring back the lemming that went to press the button. As you said, the solution isn't obvious. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the congratulations. I moved this level to the next rank.

200 metres 19: Well done! Solution intended.

200 metres 20: Well done. Obvious solution again, I agree.

400 metres 1: That's good! But using the other slider skill, you could find a simpler and "cleaner" solution. Armani used another technique: stop the miner with another miner. Sorry you had to destroy Jasmine with miners!

400 metres 2: The title of the level is the title of a Prince song, that's on purpose. You found the solution quickly, well done!!! I moved this level to the beginning of the previous rank.

400 metres 3: Well done! It's interesting to see all the attempts you made before finding the right solution. When I created it, I didn't think this level would be so difficult. Moreover, I can't reduce the precision: if I raise the right block or lower the left platform, the shimmier won’t be able to come back. I put this level further in the rank.

400 metres 4: Intended solution!

400 metres 5: I wanted to have some fun here… This level isn't my favorite either. That's why I created another level instead with a similar setting. Additionally, I put it at the end of the previous rank.

400 metres 6: Well done! You were close to the right solution from the beginning. As you say, freeing the blocker is not easy to find. I changed a small element of the setting, which doesn’t change anything in the resolution of the level.

400 metres 7: Bravo!

400 metres 8: Little backroute! I blocked the RR at 1.

400 metres 9: Bravo! It’s perfect! The beginning is the hardest: you have to isolate – then free – a lemming (which isn’t a glider).

400 metres 10: What a convoluted solution! The intended solution is much easier! I congratulate you anyway and invite you to look at Armani's solution. I changed a few things to make the level easier to solve: I moved a few blocks and removed a walker.

400 metres 11: Well done, you found the intended solution. I know, it's a pretty tricky level.

400 metres 12: Perfect, as usual!

400 metres 13: I thought this level would be pretty hard. But it's true that the path to take is obvious. I put this level at the beginning of the rank.

400 metres 14: Well done. In the initial version of the level, there was an extra bomber that was used to free the last blocker, when we were next to the exit. But since I saw Armani use this basher-blocker trick, I removed a bomber skill. To be honest, I didn't know this trick when I created this level (now, I remember seeing it before in another level but I quickly forgot about it). I also find this weird (and counter-intuitive). So I just put the bomber back that I had removed. And I put the level at the beginning of the rank.

400 metres 15: Yes, I put two walkers, but if you find the right timing, you can solve it with a single walker. Your solution is close to the intended solution. It may be easier to use the basher (and not the digger) to cross the block with the radioactivity logo.

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 

I didn’t take inspiration from a particular level to create this one, or I did it unconsciously.  Can you tell me where I can find your level? I'll be happy to play it.

400 metres 16: I made sure that the perfect timing is easy to find: you just have to set the RR to 99 and make the first two lemmings that arrive at the wall climb. Well done!

400 metres 17: Here I used several tricks involving the shimmier. The level isn’t very difficult if you know them, but you have to think carefully about each step. I decided to remove the pick-up skill glider (which is useless): the skill is given from the beginning.

400 metres 18: Like Armani, you made the level very complicated to solve! You used up the skills quickly, and, during the last obstacles, you ended up with very few skills. Well done anyway! To fix the issue, I removed four unnecessary skills and simplified one obstacle.

400 metres 19: Well done ! This is definitely the most difficult level in the pack. There is an easier method to prevent the blocker from climbing when released: at first, rather than making it climb, simply hover (with the glider) to make it land directly on the block. This way you don't have to be too precise when releasing it. Apart from this detail, you found the intended solution. The other blocker skill isn’t useful.

Angkor temple is an archaeological site located in Cambodia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angkor_Wat

I had the chance to travel to Vietnam, but I have never visited the Angkor temple in Cambodia: it seems that it’s magnificent!

400 metres 20: I suspected you would quickly find the solution.

One minute 1: No, you don’t have to fiddle! The second lemming can reach the first exit using only one jumper (and the first lemming will need 9 jumpers). You wasted time making the second lemming pass the first.

One minute 2: It took you a while to find the solution because you wanted to make the first lemming that came out of the water climb up.

One minute 3: Backroute. I extended the distance to the exit.

One minute 4: Intended solution. However, the blocker isn't required.

One minute 5: Good job! The difficulty is thinking about using the digger.

One minute 6: Nice alternative solution. To fix the issue, I limited the number of lemmings per exit (like in Magic Circus).

One minute 7: Perfect! The level looks a lot like a level from my previous pack, but it's not quite the same. And in my first pack, there was no custom music. I improved it a little by changing the left part and I added the blocker skill to have the 8 classic skills.

One minute 8: Great! You don't even have to use the blocker on the locked exit. I agree, this level requires a lot of precision.

One minute 9: Perfect! I thought you would find the right path more quickly.

One minute 10: Perfect!
