Challenges / What is the minimum number of skills needed to beat each level?
« on: July 09, 2009, 04:06:49 AM »
LemSteven's back, so it's time to start the new challenge thread
Treating each skill as equal, saving at least the required percentage of lemmings and using only the standard skillset for each level, how few skills can you get by with?
We're not looking for a list of levels this time. We're finding a number for each level, which will eventually become a full set of records - much like the maximum number of lemmings saved (or fewest lemmings lost).
I'll keep an updated table in this post. I've been through the Fun levels, and already turned up some interesting results - 20, 23 and 25 are scores I'd consider challenge-worthy.
