I've already did so on Discord, but I'll post my congratulations again to both
Armani and
Icho for being co-winners of LOTY2022
The funny thing is that I once again saved the latter from losing a contest again
In addition, I'm happy to see that a nomination of mine of Icho's level from the NL Intro Pack won. Icho was the author who I nominated the maximum number of levels allowed for a user. At the same time, the results do surprise me, considering I kind of expected Armani's level to blow away the competition similar to how the LDC that level was initially a part of did. Then again, a few rounds ended up with closer numbers in a way that Armani's "Insert Coin" level didn't run away or completely dominate the voting like it did in the LDC.
Fun fact: This is the second LOTY where there are co-winners for first place, the last time happening for LOTY2019, and in both cases Icho is one of the co-winners
Also I want to thank Icho for nominating my "The Lemming Calculator" level Now I'm really curious who nominated 3 other levels of mine, especially my all steel level, which pays tribute to one of Icho's levels from United. Obviously I've done something right with them, as they are apparently well-liked enough to be nomination worthy
I’ve finally been getting into Lemmings Uncharted a little; I guess Lemmings United is still way out of my league (even though I was one of the pre-testers, but I don’t recall having made it far beyond the first rank ).
In my experiences, the pack starts off harder than United, and most definitely is harder than United in the final rank, now that the really bad backroutes I found in my LP have been patched out.
I also think it was cool how Icho and I had to band together and combine our brains to get some final rank Uncharted levels solved
