Welcome to the Twilight Zone: now with only 10 builders. I also updated the solutions.

Update: V3.0, see first post for downloads (level pack and updated solutions).

Changes: I've added an extra Bonus level.


Bonus 5: All the Good Lems go to Hell

Style: SMS Fire

At first I made this level for the current level design contest, but I made a mistake and found out it doesn't fit any of the rules (that I haven't made a previous entry for). So instead of making it a contest entry I include it in this pack.

Also included in the zip file of the pack is a custom music track for this level. It's an 8Bit version of Billie Eilish's "All the Good Girls go to Hell" made by this YouTuber.

[Armani]

backroute?

[NieSch]

It is! I'll fix it soon and send it you to playtest.

Update: V3.1, see first post for downloads (level pack and updated solutions).

Armani and I hade a nice backroute/update battle over my latest bonus level.

Armani won.

So even though Armani still has alternative solutions to the level (I can't call them backroutes really!) I put in an updated version of it that eliminates a lot of other easier backroutes.

Also I changed the order of the Bonus level rank a bit.

Now the pack contains 29 levels. Since Long Live Lemmings! is a bit about celebrating 30 year of Lemmings I think I'll add a final bonus level later this year to make it a nice 30 levels in total.

Edit: Update: V3.2 (Red arrow in latest Bonus level moved 1 pixel to the left)

Update: V4.0, see first post for downloads (level pack and updated solutions).

Changes: I've added an extra Bonus level and changed the order of the levels in the Bonus rank. The new level is Bonus 1.


Bonus 1: Dr Lemminggood's Latest Invention

Style: SMS Marble

This is the 30th and definitely the final level for the pack, no more levels will be added. Future updates will only be backroute fixes and stuff like that.

Edit: Update: V4.1 (An aesthetic matter of 1 pixel in the latest level)

[IchoTolot]

I just solved the pack and attached my replays. I think there might still be a few backroutes left.

[NieSch]

Thanks for playing Icho! Hope you enjoyed it. I'm quite relieved it's only 5 levels I have to find backroute fixes for. Could have been a lot worse.

Well done!

Edit:

Update: V4.2, see first post for downloads (level pack and updated solutions).

I changed 5 levels a bit to fix IchoTolot's latest backroutes:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Tricky 3 - The L-Team (the exit is now placed on a small platform)
Taxing 1 - You Better Watch Out (thin steel is added to the left of the first pillar)
Taxing 4 - Mission Unreachable (the digger is out, an extra jumper is in)
Bonus 2 - Working Lem Blues (the steel is made thicker where IchoTolot used the "jumper cancels miner trick")
Bonus 5 - All the Good Lems go to Hell (extra steel is added to the large square)

Tricky 3: The L-Team

[IchoTolot]

I resolved the levels!

I have an additional remark though on Taxing 2 the Tarzan and Jane one:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I took me quite a while to se that the additional terrain on the steel in the middle was not just decoration completely closed in by steel, but actually minable. The upper edge of the terrain prece is quite dark and I mistook it for steel. Maybe swap the grey terrain out for the green gems or another typre of terrain and make it a bit more visible.

[NieSch]

Good suggestion, I'll change that. Bonus 2 is intended now.

Update: V4.3, see first post for downloads (level pack and updated solutions).

Other changes I made to fix IchoTolot's latest backroutes:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Tricky 3 - The L-Team (top left barrel added, position of the three barrels together changed more to the left)
Taxing 1 - You Better Watch Out (1 glider less, 1 floater added)
Taxing 4 - Mission Unreachable (1 jumper less, 1 basher added)
Bonus 5 - All the Good Lems go to Hell (added a small piece of chain under the bit with the arrows)

Taxing 2: Tarzan & Jane (Part II)

Edit: Update: V4.4

Another small change in Taxing 1.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The bit of landscape with the exit on it can no longer be reached by a climber/(floater) jumping.

Taxing 1: You Better Watch Out

[IchoTolot]

Here are my resolves again.

[NieSch]

Here are my resolves again.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate that.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- Tricky 3: not intended but a great alternative solution
- Taxing 1: 99% intended, but I like the missing 1% so I'll still fix it
- Taxing 4: intended!
- Bonus 5: 99% intended but I'm not sure if I can or will fix this.

Well done!

Update: V4.5

Changes made to two levels:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- Taxing 1: exit placed 1 pixel(!) to the left
- Bonus 5: steel under the entrance removed, firepits added. Bombing here is no longer advisable!

Credits added: thanks to kaywhyn and IchoTolot for finding more backroutes.

[IchoTolot]

More resolves.

[NieSch]

You know what? You win! I know when I'm beaten.

Edit: Update: V4.6

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Thanks to IchoTolot I've slightly improved the solution to Bonus 5. Changes in the level: 1 blocker less, 1 slider less, 1 bomber more. The way the steel is placed on the large square has changed too.
