NotaLems Level pack

[Nota_Steve]

I also finished the Tough rank. As kaywhyn said, a few tough nuts in there for sure. I'm going to give you my feedback on certain levels (trying to be quite generalized, spoiler-free) then I'll compare notes!

Level 1 - Already a step up in difficulty and a sign of things to come for this rank. Resource management is the hardest thing here, with the limited skill set.
Level 4 - As previously mentioned, this one is a real tough nut! Probably ended up being in the top 5 hardest levels of the rank for me (#5 I'd say!). It's a repeat that's a lot more challenging than its first incarnation - the difficulty comes from needing to save both sides with again, a pretty limited skill set.
Level 9 - Requires precise placement but it will be a familiar puzzle to any experienced Lemmings player!
Level 10 - Slightly harder than 4 imo, mainly due to the extremely tight time limit where quite a lot has to be done to create a safe path for the crowd. The number of builders is its saving grace, but I needed every one of them!
Level 12 - Another repeat that's much harder than its first incarnation and actually does utilize the mechanic I expected the first one to - in this case, compression! Would be tricky for a beginner I think!
Level 13 - I really like the look of this level! Tropical Hot Dog Nights to quote Captain Beefheart ;-)
Level 19 - Made hard by the 99 RR, as so many levels are. Definitely needed more thinking time than the previous few levels.
Level 21 - Quite a difficult level/talisman, but your options are severely limited, which makes it easier in a way I suppose.
Level 22 - Looks simple... and is! I clocked the solution almost immediately; the hard thing was the execution and completing within the time limit. 4 minutes sounds like a lot, but there's much ground to cover and a fair bit to do.
Level 23 - Seemed uncharacteristically easy for its position in the rank, but I don't mind a breather!
Level 24 - Another problem of resource management. Tricky, but not so bad.
Level 25 - The most difficult thing here was the containment of the crowd at the start but I may well have over-complicated my solution in this instance.
Level 28 - The hardest level of the pack to this point imo. Extreme resource management and timing challenges. Longest solve time so far, eclipsing 4 and 10.
Level 29 - I can tell you, there's no backrouting this level, at least as far as I can see; I tried for a while to do the coward's solution, building over the left fire pit to the exit, lowering the terrain first, but you've clearly thought of that. In the end, I knuckled down to taking the long route! Maybe not quite as difficult as 28, but it's up there.
Level 30 - Wow, you weren't kidding about this being a hard level! The only level in the pack that took me a couple of hours to complete, I don't mind telling you! It's how a pack finale should be though: save the toughest for last! Really clever how you've incorporated four earlier levels into one, re-contextualizing them, by also adding the contained neutrals in each. For the longest time, I just kept ending up a skill short (usually a builder!) but somehow eventually managed to finish with a builder to spare and 2 lemmings more than the requirement saved!

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this pack I would probably place its overall difficulty at Easy-Medium, though there are certainly a few levels in the last rank that would fall into the 'Hard' category. You also save the hardest three levels for the end of the rank in my book, so I think you've gauged the difficulty curve well. There are maybe a few things that could be improved in the Easy rank especially, but I would say it's a worthy pack! Probably a bit tough for beginners in its final rank, if that is the intention, but you could say the same thing about Icho's NeoLemmix Introduction Pack.

Replays attached, including talisman solutions.

I am really humbled that you chose to play through my level pack, thank you so much, and thank you so much for your feedback, your critique (all of which is fair) and your compliments have really given me an incite into not only how I can make this level pack better, but how I can improve on my ideas for the second pack I am currently working on.

I have watched your replays and again, much as the same with a couple of my friends and kaywhyn, I would like to address a couple of the levels in the next coming days and release a smaller little pack with just the reworked levels on. I would like to know how difficult it is to achieve the intended solution (or one of the few in many levels cases).

Also, thank you for being very welcoming to me and even taking the time to offer as much as you have to me, it really means a lot.

Very well played!

Seems like I have to give this pack a try soon. 

I'll be away the next two weekends, but in the meantime it looks like some patching will be done and then I can see if I find some backroutes the others have missed.

I'd also like to play the pack. But will there be some updates ? I'd rather play after updates since everyone already played before...

Hi Guigui,

Yes, I'm currently working on a few reworks on some of the levels, I should be done within the next few days.
