And one last thing for today.

This one looks really good

With the "in space" one, the stars seemed to remain stationary so that it was the level itself that was rotating rather than the camera... is this intended? The "blue sky" ones move around as the camera moves instead.

Played through the first 15 levels today. Managed to solve 9 of them, but the others were a bit out of reach for a quick session.

A nice mix of limited-skillsets and open-endeds. Some of these might be backroutes or perhaps just tasty alternatives, you decide!

Got it, thanks

From memory, I believe that the disable skill shadows option does not extend to ones that you specifically request by pressing a hotkey

I tested the Projection Shadows with Skill Shadows toggled off, and they do indeed still work.

The Crystal remake of Mary Poppins' Land looked so gorgeous I just had to play it immediately

Great level! I'll get some replays for the rest of these over soon.

It's in the title, but just to unpack it a bit...

When configuring Hotkeys, there are 3 options which mention shadows:

Toggle Shadows
Projection Shadow
Skill Projection Shadow

Am I to understand that "Toggle Shadows" turns all types of shadow on and off, or does it just affect regular Skill Shadows (with Projection Shadows and Skill Projection Shadows being still available as "hold" keys)?

Also, what is the difference between a Skill Shadow, a Projection Shadow, and a Skill Projection Shadow?

If you're in a level with classic 8 skills, for example:

When you have Digger selected and you press "next skill", could it loop around to Climber, and vice versa?

Looks great so far!

After an initial test, I've decided to swap out Cancel Replay in favour of Select Walking Lemming, since Replay mode can be cancelled simply by clicking anywhere in the empty screen, and this tends to be how I cancel Replay mode when playing using a Mouse and Keyboard anyway. Meanwhile, the ability to select a Walker from behind another active Lemming seems like it'll be very useful for finer control.

I've considered adding in the Highlight Lemming function, but I tend to find this very fiddly to use even with a Keyboard and Mouse, so I'm unlikely to reach for it all that much. If I find that any of the other buttons I've assigned are mostly redundant, though, I will reconsider putting this one into the setup; maybe the function will make more sense to me on a Gamepad...

Pause and Fast Forward are both very useful in the Trigger position, so I'm leaving these as they are (I originally had these assigned to Start and Select, but found that I used them a lot so it makes sense to have them in a more readily accessible area of the pad).

The large Skip Forward and Skip Backward buttons didn't get used much, but I was testing using the first few levels of L1 which don't require much skipping. Fast Forward was more than sufficient to get through the slower parts of the levels, and since I've played these levels a million times I never needed to do large Backward skips.

I can imagine that the skip buttons will get used way more when playing levels I'm less familiar with.

Overall thoughts so far:

NeoLemmix is great when played using a Gamepad! It adds another layer of tangibility which, whilst slowing down the gameplay somewhat, helps to bring back some of that feeling of "herding kittens" which permeated original Lemmings. I didn't use the finer game controls during the initial test, so I'll have to play a more complex level which requires more detailed and precise inputs to get a sense of how it handles for more intricate gameplay.

More on this later!
