Live Event Scheduling / Simon streams Level of the Yea...
Last post by Simon - May 26, 2026, 08:22:05 PM
Hi,

Lemmings is wonderful and we should all play more. I'll livestream the Level of the Year 2025 nominations (download the levels) and try to solve them live. I believe that every single level will be new for me.

The first stream will be on Friday, June 5, 2026. I'll tell you the time of day on shorter notice. Expect European afternoon or evening. There will be a second stream either on Saturday, June 6 or on Sunday, June 7.

The livestream and chat will be at: https://www.twitch.tv/simonnaar

During the steams, join chat and help solve the levels. Share your ideas. Be a smarty-pants! If you already know the solution, join chat nonetheless -- merely give others a chance to sink teeth into the level. Later, you can give pointers or spoil it outright.

If you join chat and you're one of the level authors, I'll prioritize your levels.

I've continued yesterday. But I still have some more to sort and finish uploading. I'll wait with that, and first give namida time to update the forum software from SMF 2.1.6 to SMF 2.1.7. I'll continue after he has updated the forums.

What should the code be for the new smileys? My ideas:

:nerd: (or :geek:)
:angel:
:lix-angel:
:shhh: (or :lipsealed:)

Thanks so much Erick! :thumbsup: Really glad you had fun ^^

You've got some creative solutions here. :) All are acceptable except mayyybe Calm 10? If another more major backroute gets found I'll tweak it in the next update, but I'll leave it as is for now.

Thanks! Your explanation sounds plausible after my initial testing. Tenacious work, well done!

There is magic left in L2 after all these years.

This is actually one of my first fanmade levelpacks I have ever completed, and it was pretty fun! :D
The levels were clever, and the special levels were pretty cute! I found it pretty fun even though it was a bit short, I'd say this is a good enough levelpack for someone who just beated the original game and wanted to find some fanmade levelpacks to see how its like :) good job on the levelpack!  :thumbsup:

It's been almost 14 years since this thread was last updated, which probably shows just how little interest there is in Lemmings 2 challenges these days, but I managed to get Shadow 5 down to 3 skills.  It's also a no-platformer solution.

Be warned that this one is extremely hairy with the finicky chain mechanics, and a decent amount of luck is needed when releasing the crowd in the end so that none of them walk to the right.

Shadow 5: Three Skills
Make a lemming a rock climber and time it so that he falls directly onto the chain, without jumping.  He needs to be released such that he is flung all the way to the right side of the level and bounces off the right wall (keeping him from climbing that wall).  From there, jump over the gap and pray that he drops off the edge just as the chain is arriving; you can assign the jumper early and climb up a bit of the side of the gap to help make the timing more favorable, but it still takes some finagling with the chain speed.  Release the lemming to the left and have him laser blast to the far left edge of the crowd's holding area.  If luck holds, no right-facing lemmings will be directly over the laser when it breaks through, and everyone will walk left to the exit.

I tried a little to solve Step 5 Decimation, teased by the challenge sent by MASTER-88.

It looks like I am not PRO yet, of course, as I cannot solve it. Of course the time limit is the main issue. But the two exits makes me wonder too, do one need to use both exits ?

There are a lot of really nice nominations in the LOTY 2025 pack! I'll be trying to solve them all over the next week or two. Excellent job, all of you in the contest! :thumbsup:

 :forehead: Oh god, I did not even see that 3 levels from my pack got nominated ; I only sent one to IchoTolot  :forehead:

I just sent the 2 missing ones, sorry for having everyone waiting and Icho doing the same thing over and over.

Also thanks to the anyone who nominated my levels, it came as a nice surprise to me.
