Finally maded intented final level my new progress pack. Its 2nd longest level i ever made. Time limit 20 minutes and completion take me 17 minutes 59 seconds.

This level got also pretty nice/unique theme. No repair zombies with this time. This is also quite hard with long level. Its surely harder than my longest level my custom +3. There is quite nasty skills limit, but avoid too much frustration i let some errors frees. Its really hard working level. And if you count some skills wrong you usually have to reback level entire again. So this level could be easily take few hours to completed. Its take me over 8 hours to build.

My current progress pack contains too much short levels (1-3 minutes avarage). At this point there is at least 2 long levels and few quite long levels. New pack contains more trick theme. Added sharp elements is not are possible long levels. Like always most 1-3 minutes levels is more frustrating than those long levels.

One 1 minute level in Step 5 is freaking frustrating. At least when i got find backroutes and have to break my replay and play this over again with new setup. I´ll hope i finally got find backroute free setups. I´ll always spend about one hour to find those sharp elements again.

My current progress pack has some really sharph elements at least Step 5. Those levels are luckily short, but very frustratings. One example is speedbuilding level. There is many very hard timings, but most worst are frame perfect timing at end. Yeah its frame perfect. Its technically was impossible make level with that precise, but i got figured trick where its forced use that setup. Armani break it few times, but finally got build it perfectly.

This pack definitely will got place EXTREME category. Even more than custom +3. Its might TOP 3-4 hardest pack in lemming forum. Ichotolot, Armani & Crane pack are maybe another TOP hardest packs.

BTW Is there video world longest lemmings levels (That 37 minutes level) Its might interest see which system this level haved? Im not goes build that long level. Those lenght make levels pretty lame. But thats interested me to see which look 37 minutes level?? I cannot even imagine?

I am not aware of any video recording of the 37-minute Cheapo level, and a quick Youtube search doesn't turn up anything. This is not surprising, though. Cheapo was current around the time of my visit to Australia (I remember this because I worked on Cheapo graphics while I was there) -- and that was in the same year that Youtube started. It would be a long time before I had a computer setup capable of recording gameplay at a decent frame rate, and by then, Cheapo was long dead.
