Gronkling found a second backroute that left him with just 8 seconds on the clock.  I quite like this one actually, although it unfortunately got fixed in my latest version of the level!

Thanatos Gambit:

- Pieuw - backroute (v0)
- Akseli - backroute (v0), backroute (v1), backroute (v2), backroute (v3), backroute (v4)
- Gronkling - glitch (v0), glitch (v1), backroute (v2), backroute * 2 (v3), backroute * 2 (v4)
- möbius - backroute (v0)
- Clam Spammer - backroute (v2)

Hopefully this answers all the backroutes to date... emphasis on hopefully!

Gronkling found a very nice backroute in v5, but because I like it so much, and because he took advantage of my own silly fault in trying to make the level look nice (and it also uses all the tools), I might let it remain as an official solution... although it depends on if anyone finds the actual official solution.

Gronkling found another one - could be slightly trickier to fix, but I'll try!  People, Gronkling = good beta tester!

Thanatos Gambit:

- Pieuw - backroute (v0)
- Akseli - backroute (v0), backroute (v1), backroute (v2), backroute (v3), backroute (v4)
- Gronkling - glitch (v0), glitch (v1), backroute (v2), backroute * 2 (v3), backroute * 2 (v4), backroute * 2 (v5)
- möbius - backroute (v0)
- Clam Spammer - backroute (v2)

Gronkling found a third solution that nets him 100%, although this one uses a sort-of Climber glitch in that the Lemming successfully scales and mounts a cliff that has the start of a builder's bridge right at the brink.  Good work again.  I'm so glad you're enjoying yourself trying to break my level in every way possible!  I love the challenge of trying to patch it!

Thanatos Gambit:

- Pieuw - backroute (v0)
- Akseli - backroute (v0), backroute (v1), backroute (v2), backroute (v3), backroute (v4)
- Gronkling - glitch (v0), glitch (v1), backroute (v2), backroute * 2 (v3), backroute * 2 (v4), backroute * 2, glitch (v5)
- möbius - backroute (v0)
- Clam Spammer - backroute (v2)

Well, I've been really busy the last few days so I haven't been able to make a level for this one sorry... (plus, a bit short on ideas lately anyway). Maybe next time...

Once we're past the submission deadline, I probably will at least look at the levels and vote this time (although level solving is not my strongest point).

I solved all the posted levels so far, though I suppose there'll be a few more within the last day before the submission deadline (if there aren't, then maybe an extension by 1 or 2 days may be indeed appropriate).

As for my level, so far it has been solved by Akseli and Gronkling, both found the intended solution.

Seems like inspiration and creativity abandoned me for this one. I tried to make something, several times, but was never happy with it. I know I suck and stuff, and I deeply apologize :-[

don't feel bad. It seems it did me too. And I've totally lost interest in Lemmings right now :XD: with all my free time spent playing other games.
-----------

Updated list; with Gronkling in the lead at 11 total solves. (9 on the same level  :o )
? - means I need confirmation from Crane and Jammer if those are intended or backroutes.

geoo found a backroute - actually pretty much the same as one that Gronkling found earlier.  Still, a victory is a victory!

Thanatos Gambit:

- Pieuw - backroute (v0)
- Akseli - backroute (v0), backroute (v1), backroute (v2), backroute (v3), backroute (v4)
- Gronkling - glitch (v0), glitch (v1), backroute (v2), backroute * 2 (v3), backroute * 2 (v4), backroute * 2, glitch (v5)
- möbius - backroute (v0)
- Clam Spammer - backroute (v2)
- geoo - backroute (v5)

Here is the next iteration of the level!

Okay, here's my level. :)

I initially aimed to create an easy level for this contest, but then I had some ideas that I really wanted to realize, which happened to me in the level jam, too. :P

Updated version of my level, courtesy of Gronkling's level-breaking skills!

I practically did a spit-take at Akseli's backroute of v6 (which also works on v7) because he somehow just avoids the trigger zone of one of the shredder traps!

UPDATE: Gronkling found a variant of an old one, and one new one which I don't think I can patch (good work).  It uses a slightly glitchy mechanic, although not quite a glitch because it involves masterful timing, but I've honestly got no clue as to how to patch it without breaking the intended solution or making it way too obvious (well, there is one simple fix, but I rather not do it because it breaks some symmetry and removes a red herring).

Thanatos Gambit:

- Pieuw - backroute (v0)
- Akseli - backroute (v0), backroute (v1), backroute (v2), backroute (v3), backroute (v4), backroute (v6), backroute (v7)
- Gronkling - glitch (v0), glitch (v1), backroute (v2), backroute * 2 (v3), backroute * 2 (v4), backroute * 2, glitch (v5), backroute, glitch (v6), backroute * 2 (v7)
- möbius - backroute (v0)
- Clam Spammer - backroute (v2)
- geoo - backroute (v5)

Got a new version out that patches the other backroutes though, hopefully.
