DOS - Tricky 4 - Here's one I prepared earlier


Lemmings:  80
To save:  20 Lemmings (25%)
Time:  8:00
Release rate: 55
Skills:  40 of each skill.

Good: The hefty masses of steel forces the player not to cheat. Lots of time...
Bad: ...although it can be done in three minutes. Too many skills means too many solutions.

Hey, what happened to this rule?

2. You cannot review two in a row, even across difficulties and consoles.

Plus, thats just not true ;) That level is one of the better demonstrations of how steel glitches can ruin a puzzle
Finally released my 6th level pack! Ten levels intended to push you quite a bit beyond the expectations of Mayhem/Havoc; check 'em out and let me know what you think!

DOS - Tricky 6 - Lemmingology

Lemmings:  5
To save:  4 (80%)
Release Rate:  50
Time:  5 minutes
Skills:  20/each

Good:  Looks fine.  Nice level.
Okay:  Hard to judge one part where you can't tell if a floater is needed or not.
Bad:  Too many skills.  Why are there 68 skills that can't be used at all?

Tricky 8 - Lemming sanctuary in sight


80 Lemmings
Save 60% (48)
Release rate 40
8 minutes

20 blockers, 50 builders

Good: Nice title. Interesting to have a level that focuses on one skill rather than giving you 20 of everything.
Bad: Solution is repetitive. Level could have been smaller without losing much.

Tricky 9 - They just keep on coming


Number of Lemmings: 75
93% to be saved
Time: 5 minutes
Release rate: 50

20 of each skill

Good: Adding steel avoids a horrendous backroute. Two different paths make this level unique along with "One way or another".
Bad: The one-way arrows aren't much use.

Yeah, you forgot the level name.  You also forgot to remove the "QUOTE" BBC tag.

DOS - Tricky 10 - There's a lot of them about


Lemmings: 80
Save: 74 (92%)
Release rate: 60
Time: 8 minutes
Skills: 20 of each

Good: Simple symmetrical design, and a fun multitasking puzzle - although you don't really have to multitask if you don't want to since there's plenty of time.
Bad: (In DOS version) Looks bare without the lava and fire pits along the bottom. Plus the name is very bland, especially considering the previous level title says pretty much the same thing :D

DOS - Tricky 11 - Lemmings in the attic


Lemmings: 50
Save: 42
Release rate: 20
Time: 8 minutes
Skills: 50 builders, 20 of the rest

Good: Surprisingly good title, Plenty of ways to do this. Lots of builders...
Bad: ...although it can be done in less than 10 of those. 8 minutes for such a short level is probably too much.

Less than ten? Tricky 11 can be done with no builders at all!

Tricky 12 - Bitter Lemming


50 Lemmings
Save 80% (40)
Release rate 1
8 minutes

50 climbers, floaters, builders; 20 of all others

Good: Interesting terrain makes for a variety of solutions; uses other skills as well as builders. Turning the release rate up to 99 and making everyone a floater is a fun way to solve it :)
Bad: The "splat start" is a bit discouraging for first-time players.

Time: 6 minutes
