Cheapo Level List Game

[Conway]

Same as before, but with cheapo. And this time, no insults!



 Crazy 1 - Industrial Town

 Good: A Simple, straightforward level to start the game.

 Bad: Slightly too long.

The creator of the "Crazy" set is the guy who runs http://www.kallex.de/lemmings/
(in case it wasn't obvious)

I wish I would've made my own levels for this game. But after making 120 levels for the first clone, I didn't feel like making any more (I really did like those 120 levels though).

Are they still available for download?  Do they work in Cheapo?

Email me if you want the game (I made my email public on this forum).

Do they work in Cheapo?

It's a different program, and the levels won't work in Cheapo without conversion. Conversion is easy though, just a matter of opening up the old files in the new editor and saving them. If anybody wants to volunteer, I can give them all 120 old level files. The "only" bit of work will be to verify that the different minimum level size doesn't break the level.

Of course I have it since I made it. I sent you an email.

Not sure how to access the pictures, I'm pretty new to Cheapo...

But moving this along:


Crazy 2 - Mallorca Lemmings

Good: Utilizes the vertical dimension well. Fun to go for 100%. Interesting terrain style.
Bad: Very easy using blockers.

Essman - You're Peter Spada? Cool! Thanks for the link and welcome to the Lemmings forum.

Everyone else - Since he didn't want the link to be public, please email him for it.

Shvegait - Making a screenshot of a cheapo level involves print-screening it frame by frame into paint of another editor so it all lines up, while removing the toolbar. I don't know why mine isn't showing. It's probably a buggy server or hosting service. The url should still work if you want to open it in a different window.

 edit: Essman, I've just tried the game, and it crashes every time I complete a level or pause the game. :-(

Crazy 3: Keep on Building

Good: not too difficult for its position in the set
Bad: tedious, and the background colour is lethal on the eyes!

Crazy 4: White Wilderness

Good: Not too difficult, ideal for its location in the set. I like the terrain presentation.
Bad: Much too straightforward.

Level 5: What do you want to do today?

Good: A nice short level makes a change from the previous 4 long ones
Bad: You have to save them all

[Proxima]

Level 6: Wonderful Surroundings

Good: a nice "unobvious route" level -- a puzzle, but a simple one.
Bad: perhaps the 100% requirement makes this slightly too hard for its position.

Crazy 7 - And this is the next level...

Good - Multiple routes, good difficulty for its spot...
Bad - Very simple level, stupid title, and the chain piece that was so interesting in ONML has lost its purpose (In the original Lemmings, lemmings fall if the piece one over and one down is a hole. In Cheapo, they check for the piece directly over. So, in Lemmings, they fall off the chain half way from either direction, and in Cheapo they can walk across the entire chain both ways.)

I played some levels of the first Cheapo and it works well... but with some bugs:

1. The music can suddenly turn off at the start of a level and cannot play anymore unless I restart the game

2. When I quit the game, the game may crash: my screen stay in 256 colors using the resolution: 640 X 480. If I try to change it and put it normally, my computer crash with the error: rundll32.dll and I must restart my computer manually. Also, if I try to open the game again, it crash too! This happen sometimes with the second game Cheapo too.

Everything else is fine! I'm now at Tricky 22!

Crazy 8: Only lemmings can survive this

Good: nice use of background colour. A good level, and the right difficulty.
Bad: was anyone else fooled by the one-way wall? It took me ages to realise just how simple this was!!!
