Quote from: WillLem on July 31, 2026, 05:19:49 PMYeah it looks like it's worth dropping the 14th and just doing Leeds on the 13th.

I'm a +1 so there should be at least 6 of us in Leeds.

If we're dropping the Liverpool visit. I'll cancel my hotel booking and the train tickets for the 14th.

It's a shame but I hope we can give Liverpool a chance in the future.

About 2 weeks left until the meetup now.

Just to sum up.
13th Aug in Leeds, about 11-11.30am in the Leeds Train Station concourse is where we have always met at. There are seats down one side and a WHSmith opposite them.

Confirmed to be going: Flopsy, Will +1, Kingshadow, hrb264 and tanxdx.

14th Aug in Liverpool, details on this are still to be confirmed.

Confirmed to be going: Flopsy, Will, Kingshadow.

Are we still going to Liverpool considering that there are only 3 of us now?

Hi everyone,

I've released a new test version of Fizzles.

The downloadable versions for Windows and Android now include Levels 1–6. The browser version remains on the stable Levels 1–5 build for now.

Level 6 marks the next step in the development of Fizzles. The first five levels mainly introduced the abilities one at a time. "The Crystal Cave" is the first larger puzzle that requires several abilities to be combined.

Abilities used in this level include:

Floater
Climber
Blocker
Planter / bridge building

The Fizzles must be protected from hazards, stopped at the right locations, and guided across several levels of terrain toward the exit.

Several other areas have also been updated since the previous version:

New Level 6 with its own background and music
Revised balancing
Improved ability order in the HUD
Assigning a new ability now replaces the previously assigned ability instead of stacking
Improvements to bridge and terrain behaviour
Various visual and technical refinements

Feedback from experienced players in the Lemmings community would be especially valuable.

I would be particularly interested in your thoughts on the following:

Is the solution to Level 6 understandable?
Is the increase in difficulty from Level 5 appropriate?
Does the puzzle feel fair, or does it rely too heavily on trial and error?
Are the available abilities and quantities well balanced?
Do the mouse and touch controls feel comfortable?
Are there any problems with bridge building or Fizzle behaviour?
How is the performance on Windows or Android?
Available versions
Windows: Levels 1–6
Android: Levels 1–6
Web browser: Levels 1–5

Fizzles is an original puzzle rescue game inspired by the classic concept of guiding small creatures safely to an exit by assigning different abilities. It is being developed with Godot 4.6 and contains no ads, no tracking, and no account requirement.

Thank you to everyone who tries the new version and shares feedback. Further levels are planned to be released gradually as community test versions.

Oh yes, clear the replays only when the editor is closed looks like the best option.

Also giving the option to choose whether to keep or delete works for flexibility and user comfort.

Quote from: Guigui on July 30, 2026, 08:20:46 AMI think save and load replay in any case.

Agreed, for the same reason you mentioned.

Quote from: Guigui on July 30, 2026, 08:20:46 AMAs for keeping a single replay or a full set, I still think a single would be enough.

If a user is working on one level at a time, a single replay is enough. But they might be working on several levels in a single session, in which case it may be useful for them to be able to come back to a level they were working on earlier.

One approach might be to save as many replays as necessary (keeping to a maximum of one per level), and clear them all when the Editor is closed. This could also be made optional (i.e. Keep / Delete), so that users can choose whatever best fits their workflow.

Really have test this one.  Yes its work well.

Chaos 21 Think Fast

7 skills solution and yes its work well here too. I Did similar type level my Oh Yeah More Lemmings

I think save and load replay in any case. The main aim is to not have to replay the level up to the point where modifications have been made, so no problem if previous play was not a solve.

As for keeping a single replay or a full set, I still think a single would be enough.
If I want to make a solution folder, I can make the effort to click the 'save replay' button, and store the replays where I want to keep them.

Question: should the replay only be saved (and loaded) if it successfully completes the level, or should it be saved (and loaded) regardless?

Ah, looks like something has come up on the 14th for me.

I can't make the 14th, but I'll definitely be there on the 13th!
