You may not be able to go to any real open-air festivals right now. And you're definitely not able to go to indoors concerts. But there is an alternative world where all human beings are 8 pixels large, and neither have to worry about infections... nor about how many of them die for other reasons. And in that world, open-air concerts are as possible as ever.
After two years in the making, the follow-up to Lemmings World Tour is finally here!
You can download both the pack itself as well as the required add-on tileset in the attachments.
Please make sure to download this tileset, strato_generalmd, as well, because it adds some miscellaneous pieces that are required to make a couple of levels work.The music pack is the same as for Lemmings World Tour. If you don't have it yet, you can get it here!It features my self-recorded rock / metal versions of the original Lemmings and Oh No! More Lemmings music. (This does not include ONML track 04, because I hate it

, nor the "cross-promotion" tracks of Beast, Menace, and Awesome).
Lemmings Open Air aims to recreate the feeling of playing original Lemmings while at the same time using NeoLemmix skills and features, and sticking to NeoLemmix puzzle philosophy:- The new skills Shimmier and Jumper are front and centre in this pack.On the first two ranks, you will only have to deal with the Shimmier. And you might be glad about that, because these levels run the Shimmier through all its gears, and might possibly demand from you every last trick you can pull off with it.
After that, the Jumper gets introduced on rank 3.- A lot of levels make use of the expanded 10-slots skill panel.- The tilesets are mainly the ones from original Lemmings and Oh No! More Lemmings, with a few levels in my two new custom tilesets of mine added. These should however blend nicely with the classic ones:
Autumn tileset:
Fallen leavesMoney tileset:
I need a dollar
Normally, there should be no need to re-download these two styles, since they have been part of the official styles download for a while now.Lemmings Open Air has 120 levels, 30 for each of four ranks:
Soft, Loud, Heavy, and HardcoreJust like in Lemmings World Tour, all the levels are named after songs.However, in reference to the famous metal festival that is
Wacken Open Air, the tracks are not ordered by how famous the songs are (as it was the case in Lemmings World Tour).
Instead, they increase in order of "heaviness", starting with largely soft pop songs and ballads and ending with the most brutal death metal ever known to Lemkind. 
The title "Open Air" was also chosen because, after Lemmings World Tour, this was the first pack I started developing for New Formats - where the ceiling is no longer solid, but "open" and thus deadly.

This is also referenced by one of the later levels in the pack, which was however one of the first levels I made for it, called "Forlorn skies".
Because this is a follow-up to Lemmings World Tour, even though stylistically very different, the pack expects you to know all of the tricks that especially the first two ranks of Lemmings World Tour taught you.
Of course, if you already know a lot of tricks and consider yourself an experienced player, feel free to try this even if you haven't played Lemmings World Tour yet - it's quite a huge bite to swallow, after all.
But don't be surprised if this pack hits you out of nowhere with something you might not know yet... ;-)
SOFTJust the first two levels have all 18 skills that were available at that time (i.e. minus the Jumper) crammed into them. It's the fastest crash-course possible in NeoLemmix. And immediately after that, you're shoved out on stage and have to deliver!

The songs on this rank may be fairly easy-going, but that doesn't necessarily mean the levels will be, as well...
Don't worry, be happy
Always look on the bright side of lifeLOUDGoing into slightly harder territory now. Here you will find the occasional punk / rock band, and for the ballads on this rank, they're usually already power ballads, with a little more "oomph" to them. Be prepared to use the Shimmier in all kinds of non-obvious ways!
Born to be wild
November rainHEAVYThe Jumper gets introduced on level 2. Be prepared to have it interact with the Shimmier right from the start! After all, whether the songs are glam rock or classic old-school heavy metal, we want to see all those lemming hands up in the air!

I believe in a thing called Lems
PoisonHARDCOREThese puzzles will wrench your mind as much as their titles will wrench your guts

. The song titles will become less and less known as I've dredged them from the darkest depths of the Hell dimension. It's pretty much all Death- or Black Metal at this point. The final level is named after an absolute classic of the genre.
Chopped in half
Symphony of destructionIn stark contrast to Lemmings World Tour, the levels in this pack are largely abstract shapes, not specific locations or "realistic-looking" objects. The focus is on the mechanical challenge first, aesthetics come second. If the levels are pretty, that will usually just mean a nice mix of colours.

However, I've put my two very artistic Christmas levels in here (that don't actually make a lot of use of the Christmas tileset). So it feels just fitting to release this pack at the end of November.
Also, there are a few levels which were hard to completely backroute-fix despite extensive testing.Interestingly enough, though, one level that is known to have backroutes available still managed to stump one of my testers.

Thus, when even the "unfixable" backroutes are hard to find, you know you've got a difficult pack on your hands!
Many thanks to Armani, kaywhyn, and Flopsy for pre-release testing, as well as nin10doadict (and again Armani) for early testing!Also thanks to Nepster for introducing the Shimmier, to namida for introducing the Jumper, and obviously to both of them for creating and maintaining New-Formats NeoLemmix.
And with that, I declare this festival open!
