99 easy levels to play around.

Notes:
1. All levels 320x160.
2. Easy: little strategy and proper skills.
3. I have been playing lemmings for over thirty years.
4. Attached some pictures of random levels.

Hello @heart66 and welcome to the Forums! :thumbsup: Nice to see a level pack from you, and I'll get to playing it at some point. However, right off the bat, there are some things I've noticed that have caught my eye and hence I do have some suggestions for you already, even having not looked at a single level yet.

For starters, you might want to think of better ways to present your level pack to the community. In particular, to catch people's interest better, you might want to tell us more about the level pack. What can players expect? Ok, you said easy levels. Anything else you can tell us about them and about your level pack? Take a look at other level pack topics in the NeoLemmix Levels board to see how authors present their level packs and the descriptions they've given ;) 

Along with the above, you'll notice level pack authors tend to put some images of levels from their pack in the OP. This can especially help pique interest in your level pack, particularly if people see some really nice looking levels in the images you've posted.

Looking at the zip itself and opening the levels in Notepad and then later on in NeoLemmix itself, you have all levels titled 01-Easy, 02-Easy, etc. all the way to the final level, which is called 99-Easy. These aren't very catchy or interesting level titles. Surely you can think of better ones? ???

Don't worry, this is a friendly community, and I'm sure there will be others who will chime in with their own suggestions that I might have missed to help you with this. We're here to help you make the most of your level pack possible in how it's presented! ;)

Thanks.
I shall work on this. The first step is the hardest.

Much better now! Nice to see that you've taken some of my pointers! :thumbsup:

No worries at all. There are many here who used to be in the same situation as you when they first started out with level pack making and needed some tips on how to present their pack better. Having a great presentation of your level pack is really to help you to get others to play your level pack :) Bear in mind though that sometimes it takes a while for the first set of replays to come in, if at all. People don't always play new level packs straight away. That's normal. It doesn't necessarily mean that no one's interested in the pack. This community is always happy with people releasing their level pack(s) for others to play. It can be for a variety of reasons, including there are times when the Forums doesn't have as high activity as others depending on the time of year, people are busy with their personal lives, etc.
