Hey Flopsy!

Here are some more replies. They are replies from Bittersweet 18 to Revolution 11. Right now I am stuck on Revolution 12 because…

Thanks Flopsy. I just realized that once I complete this video I can embed it into the home page of the NeoLemmix website. I think that would be a great addition to the website as new people would be able to see the NeoLemmix features in action instead of just reading about it.

As promised from the chat, here is my two cents on the topic

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

1) The Great Lemming Caper: This level has many different solutions, but none of them are easy to spot at first. Figuring out how to cross the terrain with two builders while delaying the lemming that isn't building is not an easy task. However, the terrain is so well made that even an experienced Lemmings player can find even more crazy solutions to this level!

2) No Added Colours Of Lemmings: There's a reason why this level is held in such high-regard by everyone. Not only is it brutally tough for a beginner to figure out how to release the blocker, but it's also tough to figure out how to save the miner at the end. To be fair, the game never told you that a lemming that turns into a blocker was automatically doomed… so it's pretty cool how someone can still logically figure out the solution. A Mayhem puzzle indeed.

3) Save Me: Although a little builder heavy and not so heavy on puzzle, figuring out how to control the crowd with a limited skill set so that you don't lose too lemmings still makes this level worthy of late Mayhem in my personal opinion. I don't even remember if I was able to beat this level when I was little.

4) Just A Minute: Getting to the exit is the easy part, but figuring out how to get everyone to that exit on time is the challenge! By biggest problem when I played this level for the first time was how some lemmings would turn around towards the end of a basher tunnel I would create, and that guarantees a lost because time would run out soon after. For a beginner the tricks that we might use to accomplish that today didn't come as easy.

5) It’s Hero Time!: A wonderful 1-of-everything puzzle where you better optimize your solution, or there will be no time to be a hero!

6) Postcard From Lemmingland: Almost everybody has said that this level was their first major roadblock. There's a reason for that. This level is part of the group of Fun remakes that take away your 20-of-everything and throw you onto a terrain with less skills, and where to use them isn't obvious.

7) Triple Trouble: An x-of-everything puzzle that's actually pretty tough. You don't have enough builders to do much, so you need to use other skills. Because of that it ends up being more of a puzzle instead of a do-it-anyway-you-want level.

8) The Steel Mines Of Kessel: Navigating these steel mines with only your wits and a lot of bombers is not a challenge for the weak.

9) Compression Method I: It's a level that used the compressed Lemmings solution before it was cool. Figuring that out for the first time is not easy for beginners who are unaware that something like that could work.

10) Upsidedown World: A tough puzzle where the limited destructive skills makes tackling the many obstacles in this level a challenge on its own.



Honorable Mentions:

Heaven Can Wait! (We Hope): Nothing drove more fear into my childhood self than a level without blockers, and this level was the first one where it became a major problem.

The Boiler Room: Figuring out how to get past the flamethrower trap blocking the exit was the major puzzle in this level, which can throw a lot of beginners (myself included) off.

Here's my list:

10) Dolly Dimple: Very tough level for a beginner, as the trick used to free the lemmings in the right direction isn't obvious at first (if you go for the intended solution).
9) KEEP ON TRUCKING: I still struggle with this one even to this day. It's very tight on skill sets and time limit.
8) The Race Against Cliches: Can be a stressful multitasking level for beginners.
7) Creature Discomforts: I might be the only one with this opinion, but this is another tough multitasking level.
6) Across The Gap: It's tough to figure out how to contain the lemmings here for a beginner and it has a 100% save requirement.
5) Chill Out!: Brilliant puzzle, but not an easy one to figure out right away.
4) Where Lemmings Dare: Brutal traps and a tricky layout.
3) Temple Of Love: Another level with a tight skill set.
2) Lemmings In A Situation: A tough level made tougher by the limited skill set.
1) There's Madness In The Method: An excellent puzzle, but very tough to figure out and execute!

Thanks Raymanni, that worked. I uploaded the hotfix into the NeoLemmix player download on the server, but I guess I forgot to do it on my side.

Great! I think I might try tomorrow. I took a look at the documentations and one thing I noticed was that I found more negative criticism about my pack there. I wonder why nobody posted that much about it here, as I love to hear the good and the bad. For example, someone mentioned what their least favorite level was and how the solution could have been implemented better. I would love to hear how so that I can improve in the future . Seriously, I love that constructive criticism.

I've got Nintendo music on my channel, it just tends to get flagged but doesn't result in muted videos. They only seem interested in the latest games when it comes to music flagging I've noticed. I have Splatoon videos on my channel and they are getting flagged left, right and centre.

The most recent I have is from around 2012, so maybe it will still get flagged. I don't know. Regardless you can always use your own custom music. I have absolutely no problem with that .

Hey Flopsy, sorry for taking so long to respond to this as some personal stuff came up and I was trying to get the new NeoLemmix applications uploaded.

First off, it would be an honor if you did an LP of my pack . I know that when people do LPs they don't sit down and think about what they are going to say, they just say it and that's pretty good feedback in my opinion. Plus it's strangely fun watching all the attempts a person makes on a level instead of the final and successful attempt.

As for the custom music you shouldn't have any problems if you choose to use it. It's just 3D Lemmings and Nintendo music. The latter is at more risk, but it shouldn't happen.

I definitely recommend finishing LemmingBytes. It does get tough at the end, but not as much as some of the later Lemmings Plus entries.

I really need to try participating in the IRC chat one day. I was too shy at first, but I think I'm ready now.
