Lemmings Plus DOS Project (third and final demo now available!)

[Dullstar]

Or open LemEdit and insert the blank generic levels!

[Minim]

Don't be silly! He hasn't even finished yet.

[Dullstar]

I meant the person using CustLemm.

[Minim]

Yes, I know, and that is what namida prefers to use (Sorry you didn't realise that namida uses Custom Lemmings).

[namida]

I don't use CustLemm. I use LemEdit for making the levels, and the Lemmix clones (with LookForLVLFiles turned on) for testing. If there's any borderline glitchy mechanics, only then I test them in DOS Lemmings (original, not CustLemm) to double check that they work there.

[namida]

Here's another new level. Play on Lemmix for best results.

It's not that hard, but it does involve a trick that may, at first, be quite hard to spot.

I've also added a screenshot, although to be completely fair, the screenshot doesn't really show why the trick is needed.

If you do it the obvious way, you'll only save 98%.

50 Lemmings
Save 50 (100%)
1 minute
1 climber, 1 floater, 1 builder

I don't think it's a "trick" in the way of a glitch but I think I've got the right solution. Highlight the hidden text below to see it.

Make the first lemming a climber and a floater. Let him build to the exit and increase the rate to 99.

[namida]

Even if you do that, and put the release rate up to 99 right away (rather than waiting), you save 98%. There's a bit more to it than that.

Anyway, here's another challenge for you all.
The attached level is an easier version of "To The End!" (well, it's identical, except you have builders). Try to play it fewest-skills style! My record is 14 skills.

All old downloads (except the official demo) have been removed.

[Dullstar]

I think the way after seeing those stats.  Still QUITE obvious.  My guess is that you should go with minimac94 but wait a little to turn up the rate (or turn it up earlier if it's a time issue)

[namida]

As I said: If you put the release rate up to 99 right at the start (before any lemmings appear), and use the first lemming to do the work, you'll end up saving 98% - this is due to time limit issues, not due to lemmings dying.

[namida]

To be honest, I'm having a lot more fun making entirely new levels at the moment. >_> So this will probably be a mixture of remakes of the good ones, and totally new levels.

On that note, I've just made another easy/hard version pair, with a twist: both versions are hard as hell, but in different ways. One of them is hard to work out but pretty easy to do once you've worked it out, the other is painfully obvious but very hard to pull off. I'm still trying to work out which version is the harder of the two. The harder to do one is just that - a pain to pull off. The hard to work out one though, is (in my opinion) a very clever challenge, and I'd like to hear whether anyone has any success at beating it.

I attached both versions as LVL files, plus an image.

Stats:

Not gonna work. (the hard-to-work-out one)
40 Lemmings
40 to be saved (100%)
RR 50
Time limit 6 minutes
20 climbers, 20 floaters, 20 builders

My solution uses every floater and every builder, although only one climber. I'm almost positive you can't do it with any less of either.

The Deadly Climb (the hard-to-do one)
5 Lemmings
2 to be saved (40%)
RR 50
Time limit 2 minutes
5 climbers, 5 floaters

It's the usual way of bypassing a trap, except you have a lot less at your disposal to acheive it with.

All old downloads (except the official demo) have been removed.

[Minim]

I can't wait to see the picture for "Not gonna work"!

I didn't realise they were the same template.

I wonder why the deadly climb is hard. Maybe there's an invisible exit on the left of the lower platform.

That lizard is going to eat all your lemmings unless you come up with a crafty plan. And just raising the release rate to 99 isn't going to work.

[Dullstar]

How would one get past it anyways?

[Pooty]

With cunning.

Time your floaters in a way that groups them all together. The lizard will then only have time to eat three.

I have not been very successful with "Not gonna work.", however.
