Hey folks,

As I revisited PimoLems lately I thought it really needed a rework. My standards may have increased since I made it back in 2013 and a lot of the levels from this pack seemed dull to me. Especially from the first rank! So I started to remake a few of them. I'm not sure where I'm going with this but I'm having fun so far :D

I also keep making new levels here and there, which may be included into the pack if there's enough of them. 30-levels ranks would be great, right?

Progress

Calm 7/20
Windy 0/20
Stormy 0/20
Hurricane 0/20

Not taking special ranks into account for now.

Screenshots
Here are a few images to show what I want to improve in the levels and why. The original level is shown before the updated version.

Calm 02 - Training Day

Some changes will only be about the overall look of the level. Here the solution remains exactly the same but I think the layout is more interesting while keeping the original feel of the level.

Calm 03 - We Are Lem-Bob-Omb!

Other levels will be significantly edited. Calm 03 is all about bombers and the original level is a bit dull: you just have to bomb down and you're done. In the remade version I built a layout with various obstacles. There are ways to save more lemmings if you're being careful.

To summarize: I want to make better looking and less straightfoward levels for the Calm rating. I also added a talisman in each level I worked on so far - except for the very first level and if you played PimoLems I think you understand why :crylaugh:
This will get different for later levels as they're mostly puzzles and their layout is often part of the puzzle, so the edit will probably be lesser.

Here are also a few new levels just for the sake of showcasing a bit:

Palace Plumbing Predicament


Updates will be made as I go, though my progress is notoriously inconsistent :crylaugh:

Blow me away, I wish I can make levels like this with the original sets. I struggle to make stuff look good when using the original stuff.

PimoLems was already ahead of its time, but this one is even more stunning  :thumbsup:

Thank you everyone, will try to make it a worthy successor :)

By the way the title of the topic is just something that came to mind while I was writing, but it may be a bit cheesy for an actual pack name. I will need to think about it!
