1. Penumbra: Your solution of digging down to prevent the lemmings from turning around is a way better and more obvious idea than what I did for the official solution!

QuoteThe new tileset is gorgeous. I can see myself using this tileset often.

Thank you, and I look forward to seeing what you create!


2. Welcome to the World of Tomorrow! This one was a joy to see you try to solve! (The talisman solution has exactly enough shimmiers! )

QuoteThe various water-pipe terrain pieces and water objects allow level designers to make complicated, maze-like swimmer routes, which, in my opinion, no NeoLemmix style has allowed so far.

Thank you! I feel that swimmers are seriously under-utilised in neolemmix, so all three faithful batches have included a 'water' themed style ('Mosaic', 'Brass' and now 'Freezer') to try and encourage more swimmer usage.


3. Sweet Tooth: Intended solution, nice one! I'm very proud of this level and it was very fun to watch you solve.


4. Serpent Shrine: Another one that was really fun to watch you solve, great work!


8. Lost in the Dessert: Very nice solution, I hadn't realised you could send all the lemmings across to the top left, since the love hearts above the hot air balloons were added after I had already recorded a solution for this one!

QuoteWow, I love the design of the new limited exits! The talisman says not to use any shimmiers and I was wondering how a shimmier could be helpful in this level anyway.

Thank you! I'm really proud of those exits and this level exists mainly to show them off. (The shimmiers are used in this level near the start for getting towards the grey balloon and for traversing the underside of the candy canes.)


10. Chamber of Horrors: This level was made purely to show off the new traps and their disarm animations. (Both the regular and talisman solutions rely on lemmings walking through the traps! ) Your solution was slightly more efficient than the official solution due to using the compression method and a walker at the beginning - nice one!




Turbulent:
2. Lemmings of the Caribbean: Differs slightly from the intended solution, but my brother says that this is fine. (I also love the kraken creature, I was quite blown away when my bro first sent me the level and I saw it for the first time )


3. The Belfry: Nice solution on this one. Originally, the talisman solution was much harder as it also forced no more than 10 walkers. I made it easier as I thought this rank already has way too many difficult talisman solutions.


6. An Omen of Doom: Watching this on youtube, I thought for sure that you were going to backroute this one, but you managed to get the intended solution. Well done! (The timing is really tight on this one, I struggled a bunch when I was solving it for myself!)


7. Bumbly Beach Bazaar: I agree that this one is extremely convoluted. It's basically impossible unless you manage keep track of the lemming with the disarmer.  I was certain that this level would have a ton of alternate solutions, however your solution seems quite similar to mine, so perhaps not?
(You are correct in that the glider is just a trap to be avoided, I don't think it's possible to save any lemming that becomes a glider due to the way the exit is positioned.)


8. Ice Nine: My brother and I were both extremely shocked that you managed to figure out the correct solution for this one so quickly! (It differs slightly from the intended solution but is still acceptable) Great work!


9. River Styx: Another one that was very fun to watch you figure out! I'm very glad you like it, it's another one I'm very proud of, thank you!
You mentioned earlier in the post that this level is very easy for the non-talisman solution, but I disagree. The neutral lemming will interfere with the splitter if it's not taken care of. The zombies also need to be killed off in order to get to the lower exit which makes it quite a tricky level in my opinion.


10. A Tale of Two Cities: I agree that this is a great finale to the pack. My brother insisted on designing a Celestial level to finish the pack off with, and I think he did a great job

Steady

1. Penumbra: Relatively simple first level of the rank. Even with the talisman, this one is quite easy. The new tileset is gorgeous. I can see myself using this tileset often.

2. Welcome to the World of Tomorrow!: One of my favourite tilesets from this batch. I'll definitely use this tileset for my own levels. The various water-pipe terrain pieces and water objects allow level designers to make complicated, maze-like swimmer routes, which, in my opinion, no NeoLemmix style has allowed so far. The level itself was quite tricky. You have to release the blockers in the correct sequence otherwise the skills run out pretty fast.

3. Sweet Tooth: The solution came to me quite quickly. Turning the faller mid-air was the key, and the rest of the solution came naturally.

4. Serpent Shrine: Surprisingly tricky 2-of-everything, classic-skills-only level. The low save requirement was the hint that implied you don't have to waste skills on containing the crowd.

5. Dark Mire: Time cruncher, except that the time limit was much more generous than I initially thought.

6. Hey Presto: Beautiful level design. The solution was straightforward.

7. Lost in the Desert: That was some fun use of the shimmiers.

8. Lost in the Dessert: Wow, I love the design of the new limited exits! The talisman says not to use any shimmiers and I was wondering how a shimmier could be helpful in this level anyway.

9. Frozen Hearts: Nice touch with all those frozen blocker objects! It felt a little funny to me that removing the terrain beneath the blocker doesn't free it and it just stands there like nothing happened!

10. Chamber of Horrors: What the heck is that new trap animation?!   It's so gruesome and since this level requires the compression method to solve, you have to sacrifice at least one lemming to that trap! Genius level design to showcase the new trap...



Turbulent

1. Can I Have a Peppermint?: The Turbulent rank is a big step up in difficulty compared to the Steady rank and the first level is already a hard nut to crack!

2. Lemmings of the Caribbean: That's a very nicely designed ship! Also, I love the Kraken-like creature near the exit!

3. The Belfry: Very repetitive overall. Pretty obvious what needs to be done. That spam of cloners on the glider to gain height was fun and something new, though. So, credit where credit is due!

4. Sugar Rush: Very clever solution. Making the fall temporarily fatal, then making it safe again at just the right moment. I had a lot of fun figuring this level out.

5. Lem Academy of Science blah blah: Making a long shimmier path is one of the coolest things you can do in NeoLemmix of couse!

6. An Omen of Doom: Phew, that was close! I love how the zombies are catching up and you have just enough room to avoid them in extreme urgency!

7. Bumbly Breach Bazaar: The biggest and most complicated level in this pack so far. (I'll give the "most difficult level" crown to Turbulent 9, though.) I don't see how having the glider is helpful anywhere, so I wonder if the glider assigner is just there as a trap to avoid or if there's something I missed. Very chaotic and so many things happen at the same time, but if you carefully eliminate the possibilities, there's only one route the crowd can take.

8. Ice Nine: Relatively easy one regarding the positioning. The key was figuring out that you have to laser from both sides to release only one shimmier and nobody else.

9. River Styx: My favourite level from this pack, and probably the hardest level in the pack too. I rather quickly figured out that I couldn't let the neutral collect the button, but it was still tough to control the flow of a crowd consisting of both allies and enemies. Looking back at the replay, I wasted a lot of skills near the floater assigner at the end...

10. A Tale of Two Cities: A truly epic finale to the pack! 02:00 would have been possible had I optimized a little bit more.
