Custom Level Review Game

lem_set03 - Level 4 - tiny HUGE area

Excuse me please. I don't like it too much when you put down "lem" instead of "lm". Mind you, L and M are the initials of my full name, not short for "Lem" or "Lemming". May you change it please?

And how were we were supposed to know that? Sheesh, there's no need to get uptight over it.


lm_set03 - Level 5 - Satan has 2 paths


Lemmings: 80
Save: 79 (98%)
Release rate: 1
Time: 4 minutes
Skills: 10 builders, 2 diggers, 1 everything else

Good: Skill restrictions make this a tough level. Some nice visual touches, like the trident and the chain that goes in front of and behind the lava.
Bad: The angled wall to the right makes it needlessly difficult to build into the wall without using an extra builder (which you can't afford...).

yeah, seriously man, grow up. We're doing you a favor by reviewing your levels so you can learn and improve...try being more grateful and less demanding?

I see you giving people a hard time like that quite often on these forums...try relaxing a little bit? This is a friendly community, and we don't need people starting fights.

For future reference, minor mistakes I make due to misconceptions will not be fixed.

lm_set03 - Level 6 - Lemmings' Diagonal snow blower

Lemmings:  80
To save:  48 (60%)
Release Rate:  01
Time:  4 minutes

Good: Possibly clever solution...
Okay:  Time limit can make the level challenging, but mainly here it's just annoying.  Level most likely cannot be beaten (or at least will be a close call) with the default release rate.  Needs more decorative terrain.
Bad:  Solution is annoyingly hard to execute.  I have never liked levels where the challenging part is performing the solution instead of finding the solution.  While the solution isn't obvious, it's not exactly that hard to find for its difficulty.  Poor implementation of what may be quite the clever solution.

I know I'm going slightly off topic but I'm sorry folks about this stupid response which I realise crossed a line I didn't mean to upset anyone. I have too much literal thinking. This is my first forum on the Internet society, so I am not so experienced at commnicating even at this age (Find it out on my profile). You can carry on reviewing my levels at any time, but I'll try and be more patient not just with the feedback but also with what I say no matter what topic it is.

[Dullstar]

On topic, who's going to do the next level?  I have already played the level after this one, and am waiting for my turn to come around to put it up.

[Yawg]

Ill go.

lm_set03 - Level 7 -  Abyss-mal

Lemmings: 20
To Save: 18
RR: 1
Time: 4 Minutes

Good: Solution is far from straightforward, requires a lot of tweaking to get the required %.
Bad: Another building level, plus nobody likes hidden traps  While some parts of the level look nice, most of it looks hastily thrown together and unfinished. Could use some more grass.

Do it then.

[Dullstar]

With school, I don't have as much time as I used to.  If anyone else would like to review, please skip Level 8.  I should be able to review after school tomorrow.

It's been a week since the last review. I think anyone who wants to review the next level should be allowed to do it now. And maybe we need a new rule to stop this sort of thing happening again.

If you really want to voice your opinion on a particular level, but someone else takes it in this thread, you can comment on their review or use the open review thread.

  because I reviewed all of Giga's current levels on the Open Level Reviews. Check them out to see what I've said on each level!

Okay Dullstar, I know you're busy with school or whatever, but I don't think it's fair that you get to hold up the review game because you want to review a specific level. And even if we did skip the level as you suggested, that would leave a hole here, and then disrupt the flow of the game later when we come back to this level.

In the interest of keeping this game alive, I'm going to do the next level now.

lm_set03 - Level 8 - Wild at the corner...


Lemmings: 80
Save: 64 (80%)
RR: 1
Time: 4 minutes
Skills: 5 of each

Good: The restrictive skill set and large drop between the two parts of the level means you have to think carefully about how to overcome the obstacles - especially if you want to go for 100%.

Bad: Climbers get stuck at the top of the level rather than turning back when they reach the wall. The icicle trap doesn't work - unlike every other misplaced trigger I've seen, this one doesn't activate because it's too low rather than too high.

OK, my first review!

lm_set03 - Level 9 - Crazy Cave


Lemmings: 80
Save: 75 (93%)
RR: 1
Time: 4 minutes
Skills: 10 builders; 5 of everything else.

Good: Nice layout. You can't start building at any place, it needs a bit of planification. You can get 100% with some effort.

Bad: Kinda expected something more difficult being the ninth level of the pack Very straight-forward, a "lemming-hero" does all the work. Oh, almost forget: a hidden trap will make you SUFFER! 

Hope it's not a bad review It's difficult to express ideas when english isn't your native language 

[Fernito]

Is there a chance that the next pack to be reviewed is this one of mine?

It's got only 7 levels, because I removed the ones I considered annoying.

There's only one more level review to go from me, I'm afraid. I don't know how long this will take. According to the rules, if you want to review it you'll have to wait 48 hours.

Okay Dullstar, I know you're busy with school or whatever, but I don't think it's fair that you get to hold up the review game because you want to review a specific level.

That's right. You're lagging everybody else and you need to... Look, you've lost your opportunity to review Level 8. Shame on you. " title="Angry" class="smiley" />
