Ok, here are 6 levels from Rule 1 that I solved so far (probably many backroutes)

1) Cranes': Hi Rise Hijinks (Couldn't get Talisman though)
2) Kaywhyn's: Bubble Trouble
3) Nessy's: A Rock and A Hardplace
4) Scmolem's: Climb the Water Tower
5) Silken Healer's: Building Bridges
6) The Tomato Watcher's: Spheres N' Cubes.

Yeah, that was a backroute!  Easy enough to fix though.  (I also have to remember to remove the background, since my original design has a subtle twilight sky background, but since the original lemmings didn't have backgrounds beyond the navy blue for the crystal tileset, it can't be included - pity, because it accents the red brickwork extremely well).

@eric That is one very big backroute to my R1 there. It totally misses all of the intended tricks. Just when I thought I had eliminated all backroutes by my own extensive testing too :XD: At the same time, I acknowledge that you never know, some might remain because someone manages to find a way to.

Anyway, as much as I hate to and wanted to avoid it, some steel should block it off completely. Let's see how this works out.

Got the Chamber of the Mummies solved - I quite enjoyed that one, as you can you work out what you have to do and plan ahead quite nicely.

Spheres N' Cubes solved.  This one feels very traditional, like something you'd see in the original game.  Also, if you want a talisman idea...

Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine solved.  Blind faith on where the neutrals will fall goes a long way!

Intended, but not blind faith should be your ally here! ;) Math to the rescue: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bean_machine

All those builders can go a long way, it seems. ;)

@Flopsy Your solution to my R1 is about 95% intended. I've uploaded a V3 that eliminates your slight backroute :P

Played the Rule 1 levels. The only ones I've managed to solve so far are:

Flopsy's The Cooler Side Of Hell
NieSch's Take A Hike
Silken Healer's Building Bridges
The Tomato Watcher's Spheres 'N Cubes

These are all great levels; the last two are sweet, simple and solvable, and the first two showcase some particularly excellent mapmaking :lemcat:

I'll come back and have a go at the others for sure; I came close to solving Nessy's and Roundy's and I'd like to get solutions to these ones :thumbsup:
