168 levels in 3 months? Worra lorra levels! Maybe you can show some pictures of your favorite ones?

Yes I do make packs quite quickly, but my levels are a lot neater and harder than 2 years ago.

I made the logo image for you...

Thanks for the logo!

After more than 6 months of waiting, I am finally happy to present to you all with another NeoLemmix custom level pack called Lemmings Rundown.

This pack contains 80 levels across four difficulty ranks: Fun, Tricky, Taxing and Mayhem with 20 per rank

This level pack uses the standard Original and ONML music tracks

All levels in this pack use the original 5 tilesets

This pack uses no NeoLemmix skills.

-

The difficulty of the pack is moderately difficult for the most part.

The Fun rank is full of fairly simple X-of-everything levels.

Secondly, the Tricky rank, which starts off still bordering on the easier side, but this is the rank where the difficulty really steps up.

Thirdly, the Taxing rank, is where the pack really gets a lot harder. Although some of the levels are fairly easy puzzles, a lot of the levels are fairly difficult, particularly near the end of the rank.

Finally, the Mayhem rank. In this rank, there are no particularly easy levels. A lot of the levels can have you stuck for days, maybe longer.

So if you spot any backroutes, please respond to me

So free free to reply to me about your progress in the pack and send me the replays in and how you are getting on with it!

Enjoy playing!

Excellent! Downloaded now, thanks for your hard work! Cool!

LemFan · April 28, 2024, 10:00:59 AM

Let me know when you finish it!

Mobiethian · April 28, 2024, 01:47:14 PM

Absolutely!

I really enjoy this one, it's quite nicely put together and I think it's great so far.

It will be some time yet, though., I am finally finished with the final rank of my own pack and the release date is May 1st. By then I can finish your pack since I am making final adjustments to mine.

I am actually stuck on level 10 in Fun, came close though. I'll keep you updated, @LemFan

I've been playing through these packs recently. Not gonna give detailed feedback as I don't think LemFan will read or respond to it, but basically, what has already been stated is true: the difficulty curve is all over the place, especially in the earlier packs, and I suspect a lot of my solutions are backroutes. That said, I still think these packs are worth peoples' time. There're some good puzzles and interesting ideas throughout, albeit with the odd really badly designed level, where it's all about some ridiculously fiddly execution.

I'm going to attach my replays for ColdLems, as I don't see that anyone else has posted replays for it - not so much for the author's benefit, as I don't think he'll look at them, but for anyone else who might be playing these packs and is struggling with a particular level. I won't add replays for the rest as they've all been covered, mainly by ericderkovits, who seemed to be the main player on this (old) thread.

Question: has anyone played through the LemFanLems I pack? I've pretty much finished it, but there're two levels I just can't do: Brutal 18, A Higher Platform, and Chaos 3, Statue of OilDrums. The former seems to be lacking one skill (a bomber) to make it possible, while the latter doesn't seem doable at all with the skills given. Strangely, neither of these levels are in the final rank (Clueless) and yet are way harder than any in that rank! If no-one has played the pack through, I wonder if someone would be willing to play just these two levels? I'm genuinely curious as to whether they're technically possible.

I've played all of LemFan's packs. They're odd, but they certainly have a place here. People know what they're getting into with these packs and often enjoy them... there's certainly a few frustrating levels.

Yeah, for sure, I've enjoyed them for the most part. I guess you have played those two specific levels I mentioned then? Any hints, or do you still have your replays saved maybe? They're the only two levels that have completely stumped me so far! Just can't see how they're possible.

jkapp76 · November 08, 2025, 10:28:48 PM

I helped LemFan organize his levels into packs and I made his level-pack logos. I played through alot of these but I can't remember much about individual levels anymore.

I launched those 2 levels Brutal 18 and Chaos 3. Please note that I am not the best solver out there but I can not see a solution either, at all.
In both of them the lack of building skills combined to the fact that you have to climb blocks me.

EDIT : as you said I can clear A Higher Platform with an extra bomber. So I'm wondering : could it be a case of "I set the skillset wrong when creating the level too quickly, and did not take time to playtest it afterwards" ? Considering the history of this topic, this could be possible.
So new game for LemFan's fans : try to find solutions with the least possible joker skills in Brutal 18 and Chaos 3 !

Thanks so much for taking the time to look at this, Guigui! My impression from your other forum posts is that you're a very competent solver, so that gives me some hope that it's not just me missing something! I had the same thought re: potential lack of playtesting. As we've said, I think you only need one 'joker' skill (the bomber) to complete Brtual 18; I'll see what I can do with Chaos 3.

Gonna attach my replays for the rest of the pack, just in case anyone's interested
