Here are my Rule 3 solutions (other than my own)

Here are my Rule 3 solutions (other than my own)

Intended solution for my level! 

[Crane]

My Rule 1 solutions, although I haven't gotten the talisman on Berkana or solved Diamond Rush yet, so I'll post Gold Rush when I've solved that one.  Lots of red herrings it feels like.

[IchoTolot]

Also intended/acceptable. 

I used a slight variation in "Berkana", but yours is totally acceptable! 

[kaywhyn]

Updated the pack to include V2's for my R1's and R3.

@Crane

All backroutes as you might have guessed.

R1 - Man, apparently sometimes I really go overboard with the decoration and it ends up doing me in because they can be used to backroute my levels! For V2, added traps.

R3 - This is what I get for changing my mind at the last second to not leave an open wall, but only because I later decided that the way I had the level designed I thought it didn't look good! Well, to compensate, for V2 luckily I can add a trap behind the crowd at the start!

[Crane]

Hehe, happens to the best of us.  But you know I want to see you on YouTube playing through my levels now!

By the way, you might have accidentally put in a random panel of rock in the bottom left corner of your Rule 1 pair of levels - it looks very out of place.

Sorry, I'm way past the point of playing contest levels on video in real time now. I can certainly understand your want of people doing this for your levels because of the thrill of playing levels where one doesn't know the solution ahead of time and playing them in real time, though! Even though I don't have that much experience of being in the position of the author watching people stream my levels, I have seen people play them in real time, and hence I have done some of the things people do while watching one's levels get played on video. For example, I've reacted with surprise when people get stumped on my levels because I didn't expect them to, chuckling here and there and being touched by some of the commentary/remarks the LPer says about my levels while trying to figure them out, etc.

I of course still LP custom Lemmings level packs!

Thanks, I've fixed that now and have reuploaded the correct files in the update topic. I honestly don't know why or how that happened. There have been times when I'm sure I've clicked on a piece in the editor only to not see it appear in the visible portion of my screen at times, so that's likely what happened here.

[Crane]

Assuming there were no other changes other than the removal of that rock square, here are my re-solved solutions.

[kaywhyn]

@Crane

Acceptable solutions to my R1's! Nice job! More technically, for the "Oh Yes!" level, some of the skills are used differently from the intended one and is probably just slightly more complicated than the intended way, while for the Oh No! one, that's essentially the intended solution, you simply managed to do it more efficiently than mine. As such, if I wanted to, in an update I could simply cull the leftover skill you spared in the latter, but for now I'm just going to leave it in as long as no new backroutes show up for it!  

[Crane]

My R2 solutions - also re-solved your R3 level, kaywhyn.

Also Armani, attached my solution for Gold Rush while I still try to work out how to solve Diamond Rush!

[Crane]

I hope IchoTolot does a YouTube playthrough... I want to see his thought processes!

[kaywhyn]

@Crane

Nice backroute finds with my R2 and R3!

R2 - More steel for V2! The rest of it was some tidying up I decided to do to make the level look better!

R3 - For V3, extended the steel structure and shifted the platforms several pixels up.

[Armani]

@Crane
intended solutions to my levels Spring Has Come and Speedlunky.

[IchoTolot]

@Crane The solution to my R2 level is also intended!
