Official Lemmings Forums Level Design Contest #6

General Contest Rules
Spoiler (click to show/hide)



Contest #6

For this contest, your goal is to design a level that does not provide any constructive skills. Constructive skills include:
- Builder
- Platformer (Lix / NeoLemmix)
- Stacker (NeoLemmix)
- Stoner (NeoLemmix)
- Cuber (Lix)

(I'm not overly familiar with the Lix skills, so if I've missed one, let me know.)

"Workaround" methods of providing those skills are also forbidden (such as, for example, making a NeoLemmix level that uses the Instant Pickup Skills gimmick and has builder pickup skills in the level).

For the avoidance of doubt, using non-traditional skills that aren't constructive (such as Walker in Lix / NeoLemmix) is allowed.

Allowed engines: Lemmix, NeoLemmix, Lemmini, SuperLemmini, Lix

Engine-Specific Rules:
NeoLemmix: The Slowfreeze object counts as a "workaround" method, and may not be used.

Timeframe: Entries close 8th August 2015 9th August 2015 at 11:27 PM, subject to general rule #10.
The update deadline will be announced when the playing phase begins, but will be at least 10 days from the start of the playing phase.

The prizes available for this contest are:
- US $10 $12.50
- One month's One and a half month's advertising in the forum's news ticker for a project you are involved in, whether lemmings-related or not, and whether free or not
- Early access to the Ghosts gimmick in NeoLemmix <May be chosen by both winners>
- Your choice for the next contest's rules (within reason)

I'm also going to offer a slight bonus for if a Lix level wins the contest, due to that Lix entries so far have often not fared very well, and many have been the type that have a novel concept but don't end up being overly great levels beyond that. For first place only, if a Lix level achieves it, the winner will get the "7+ entries" prize regardless of the number of entries.

To cover all eventualities, would a "may not contain any tools that produce terrain (e.g. Builder, Stoner etc.)" work?

*wants to vote for "A Break In The Bridge" as his favourite Builder-less level!*

Still about a week and a half left to submit your entries to this one! :)

5 entries so far (plus one attempted entry that was rejected because it used Stoners; no idea if the person intends to modify the level (or submit a different one) still).
