Impossible level (literally!)
« on: March 16, 2022, 02:41:16 PM »
Level 9, Zany. There is no solution to this level. Despite many repeated attempts, I think it's impossible to beat. Does anyone have a solution for it?

I can confirm that both the normal and the talisman solution are indeed possible.

I can give you a hint for one of the skills for the normal 19/20 solution:

Making a path to the exit with a single lemming is possible, but... when mining diagonally to the exit (from right to left) there's a gap and the lemmings fall off the screen.

I don't think it's possible to solve this level!

Maybe mining diagonally to the exit (from right to left) is indeed not the correct approach. ;)

You are totally correct that this method does not work. So let's use something different!

Try to think of a different way to reach the exit, as there is only one possible direction left where to come from, try thinking about

Thank you for your tips.

Unless I can see a video of the solution, I will personally say it's not possible to complete this level. I've tried, and tried (and tried over and over again), to no avail.

Thanks for the video solution.

(Without revealing spoilers) I didn't think it was possible to build at a certain point without the lemming turning around :lemming:.

The ultimate question: how is it possible to save all 20 out of 20?

I would NEVER have worked this out tbh. https://youtu.be/t_kmd1JfqYw?t=1198

Probably one of the hardest levels so early in the game!

Then that is not the only 20/20 solution.

Attached a replay. :)

Good work. ;) Your playback makes the level solution look so easy for a difficult level. Why didn't I think of that lol!
