Five new solutions to updated NeoLemmix levels. The solutions should be for relatively recent versions, but due to the rather frequent backroute-fixes, don't be surprised if I am one (or even) two version behind.

Nice job IchoTolot, you backrouted my level so hard I don't know how to fix it.  That steel block was supposed to stop a backroute, not add one.
My intended solution is similar to the solution by joshescue18 earlier in this thread.

Well, as I had skills left over + saved a lem more than needed and the solution is tricky too: There is always the trick in fixing the level by making my route intended and cut the other ones. ;)
I've done that method a few times by now. Cutting 2 platformers and a blocker and raise the save requirement by 1 could even make this harder.

Nepster: You found the intended 2nd solution to my R2 level. :thumbsup:

Finally nailed down one of the solutions. Icho placed a stoner slightly differently than I did but still had to use everything so I'm satisfied. But I really thought that adding another flamethrower would stop that one backroute. Apparently on the first frame that a Lemming walks off of a ledge he cannot be burned by fire. Not sure why that is, but so it goes...
V6 takes a different approach to seal this backroute. Hopefully this one works.

This time solution 2 broke while solution 1 was still ok. Only a minimal change had to happen (one stoner needed to be a few pixels lower) to make it work again.

Just another solution to Simon's V7 level, which I think is a backroute since

Nudged the hazard over in Power Core because you could still sneak around it. I really hope this finishes the job. I'm starting to develop a vendetta toward my own level.

Solution 2 needed resolving, but I still think this is unintentional. :P

Saw no easy fix for that except to redesign that ending area.

I ignored my gut feeling that the tiny passage could break something. I shouldn't have. :devil: Patched.
