Forgot to post my replay files for my LP playing this pack, you would probably find this useful for your backroute fixing.

A lot of very nice levels, though the difficulty order is not perfect yet Replays are attached.

Detailed comments

1) The level looks like one lemmings should exit on the right, but that's not enforced.
2) Easiest level and the least interesting one.
3) Looks very nice and the first half of the level is interesting. However the long bridge at the end could be shortened a little bit...
4) Amazing wood design. The basher-staircase at the end is already done to death in existing levels, so I would have preferred the level without it.
5) Interesting design with these upside-down icicles. But again I am not a fan of the long bridge at the end.
6) Nice idea, but slightly on the builder-heavy side again.
7) Amazing level! At first I thought this level would be completely impossible. One of the harder levels of the pack.
8) Nice terrain layout, but again on the builder-heavy side.
9) Very good level!
10) One of the easiest levels of the pack. A good level to start the pack, in my opinion.
11) Very interesting terrain layout, though I would have wished for a slightly more complex solution. But maybe I just backrouted the level...
12) By far the hardest level in the pack! Ensuring that the basher continues requires both very precise placements of the builder on the right and the starting position of the basher. Perhaps consider adding another builder?
13) Amazing design and excellent solution!
14) I am not a fan of this level, because it is very precise on the maximal fall height for the lemmings.
15) Nice solution, but I wonder about the traps on the left: They are close to the path of the lemmings, but never get triggered. Is this intended?
16) I might have backrouted that level, because it seemed relatively easy and I didn't really use the stair to the top.
17) A weird level. Not really hard and an unusual terrain layout.
18) Interesting idea.
19) Very nice level. But I really wonder whether so many lemmings together with the harsh time limit is necessary?
20) First of all: The traps at the beginning don't do anything, which I expect to be a mistake. Furthermore I am not a fan of the part directly after the big steel pillar: Building a stair to catch the other lemmings reaches only barely high enough. This makes the level far more precise than necessary for no gain at all (that I can see). Otherwise a nice, beautiful level, but perhaps not as hard as one would expect a final level to be.

One more general comment: All your levels have time limits. Currently the culture here favors giving infinite time for all levels where staying within the time limit isn't the main point of the level and the time limit isn't needed to enforce a specific solution.

PS: Very nice sandwich title picture.

(Solutions and spoilers abound!)

Oh boy, I think half of the replays are backroutes!
You've been very resourceful and I haven't backroute-proofed the levels enough.
I'm not mad about it, of course.
These are my first steps in the level-making territory, after all.
As mentioned in the original post, the levels don't follow any particular order, even though I had a thought of arranging them in order of difficulty, but then came to the conclusion that I suck at that.

2) Was initially planned as part of some form introductory levels and then as a breather level, but both ideas got scrapped.
3) Long build near the end is just one of the possible solutions. The intentional one was to go the upper route.
4) Funny should you mention that, since it kind of started off the other way round – as a way of incorporating the basher staircase into my levels. I knew (from watched LPs, for example) that the trick is widely known if not old, but it's part of what I had wanted to accomplish since my first encounters with the game. Ah, good memories...
5) ) Long build near the end – that may be my age and ONML influence showing. I took time limits for granted, like this: Lemmings = time limits, taking it for granted.
6) Another very old idea of mine.
11) No, it wasn't meant to be too complicated, apart from the bit in the beginning.
12) I'll think about the skillset. I tried making it so that you can start building from the very edge of each platform (with all of the builders going to the left) and adding a couple more bridges above those to stall rushing Lems as well as make sure the basher continues. The basher should simply start as low as possible.
15) Intentional, hence the level title.
16) Nah, you're not supposed to climb to the top of the staircase.
17) I was trying to balance the grey and the red colour in the layout for added aesthetic value.
19) I was trying to make it very harrowing.
20) Traps at the beginning not functioning – intentional, it's just (intimidating) decoration, just like in level 15.
And sorry, again it's just my "old" side, with the time limits.
I'll perhaps try to fix some of the backroutes (due to my incompetence) in an update, so I guess I shouldn't say what you're supposed to do there yet.

Could solve all the levels except for three of the 99 release rate ones. Seems I lack some commonly used strategies to control crowds which are so tightly packed together...

Any general tricks one can do to hold back 99ers, without spoiling any particular level? Some tricks you just have to know, after all, like the "cunning plan" (builder wall) or the double miner-cancel trick.
