Zemmings Vol. 2

[zanzindorf]

Hello! I'm working on another pack, this time using my Kiwi tileset. I aim to have about 16 levels in the final version, with four levels per a difficulty. Right now, I just have four finished levels, but I could use some help with the level testing. If you have some time to spare, I'd love the forums' help. Attached is the NXP of my four finished levels ready to play. While testing, I'm looking for feedback specifically on:

• Backroutes which ruin the level.
• Fairness.
• Fun.
• Where the levels place difficulty-wise.

Also note there's no music, so you'll just get the default music when you play. That will change, but I'm not quite there yet.
Also, I built this in NeoLemmix V10.011.011-B (should work in newer versions, might need to update if you have an older version).

Found a back route in the first level I think.

Level 2 is great!

Level 3 if its not a back route is very sneaky. Had an extra bomber so I'm not sure. Nice level as well.

Last level was a bit annoying with the amount of lemmings there are as they stack on top of each other and then its hard to bomb the last part by the exit. The 2 bombers then build thing from the left entrance was pretty cool though!

Thanks for the feedback BulletRide Here's an updated version with small changes to levels 1, 3, and 4.

Yup, those are back routes in 1 and 3. Your second replay for 1 is spot on though. I just added a bit of steel to block the back route.

Glad you liked 2! I had Arty playtest this a little on one of his livestreams. He seemed to like it too.

For 3, after rearranging some things, I figured I had to get rid of the blocker.

I really liked your solution for 4, but an important part of the level was skipped. I thought about leaving in your solution cause I liked it so much, but I really like that skipped part too. If you play version 2, let me know which version was more fun. For the newer version, crowd control shouldn't be as annoying, but if it still proves too irritating, I'll decrease the number of lemmings.

Think these might be back routes again

[zanzindorf]

Lol, yep. Those levels have some issues. I'll see what I can do. I got some more levels to add in a few days.

[zanzindorf]

I took a break from this for the holidays, but I'm back now. Here's version 3.

Changes:

• Back route patch for level 3.
• Back route patch for level 4, decreased amount of lemmings.
• Two new Levels: "An Uphill Battle" and "It's All Downhill from Here."

Replays attached!

Thanks for the replays BulletRide!

Watching your replays, Level 4 still looks pretty broken. Level 6 got back routed too, nice catch on that, never would have thought of doing that I'll try to fix those.
You got the intended solutions on the other replays. On level 3, you got solution 1. There's also a solution 2 for reaching the other door.

Release 4!

Changes:

• Levels 4, and 6 have been updated to fix BulletRide's back routes.
• Added music! Not sure if I'll stick with these tracks though. Not sure how fitting they are.
• Added a new level: "Crumble Cake Dungeon"

Here are some more replays. Level 4 might still need some lovin.

[zanzindorf]

Yes, level 4 need much love. So does Crumble Cake.

Release 5!

Changes:

• Level 4 has a subtle change that hopefully fixes a back route.
• Level 7 has lots of changes, mostly decorational.
• Separated the music from the NXP since it makes the file so big.
