Ah, it is indeed the Win95 version. I grew up with and played the Dos version, and so I wouldn't know as much about the physics differences on the Win95 version. On some ports, you only get 10 builders, like on Dos, whereas on others you get 12 builders. I believe I've always used the builders only for the bottom entrances. Also, I use the extra height on the structures in order to connect to the floating platform in the middle more easily. That should help a lot here. In other words, you just need to dig with the top entrance to rescue them and then you can simply ignore it for the rest of the level afterwards.

That's one way to do it. At the bottom after you click "reply," it says "click or drag files here to attach them." You should be able to put screenshots after saving the images/print screen. At the top of the image in the attachments section, there's an arrow next to the red x you can click on to insert and attach it to the post.

oops I see it now. Thanks very much!! Basically i always seem to end up with this sort of scenario. :(

Yeah, the one on MyAbandonware is Winlemm '95. The physics are notoriously wonky on that version, although it is just about playable.

Which part of the level are you stuck on, exactly?

geek2 is the one with more blue.

Quote from: Simon on December 22, 2025, 07:19:06 AMI think the glasses should be even bigger (fill 30 % of the space) and the lemming should get a good-boy haircut, to distinguish it.

See attached geek4 with both of these suggestions added, and geek5 which only enlarges the glasses (keeping the hair the same as previous versions).

Basically, all of it. My reaction times aren't very good even though I'm pausing and unpausing it constantly. I always seem to be left with the wrong number of builders and yeah the cursor seems very imprecise when I click on a lemming and it often gets the wrong one. I'll see if I can get some screenshots.

Any screenshots/pics of your game while you're in a level you can attach?

Quote from: kaywhyn on December 22, 2025, 12:27:00 AMHi @hrb264, welcome to the Forums! :thumbsup: Indeed, why Taxing 26 isn't in the Mayhem rank is anyone's guess. What port are you playing the game on? Dos? Genesis/Megadrive? Win95? etc.

I downloaded it from 'myabandonware'. It's the Windows 95 version i think

I think the shrugging is good. It's near the maximum of animation that you can have without making it annoying.
