First of all, thanks for playing and for giving me this feedback! I’m currently away from home, so I can’t properly check everything right now. All levels were tested and cleared before release, but there may still be some edge cases where things worked out a little too pixel-perfect.

I did replay Mayhem 24 on my handheld and managed to complete it. It’s definitely very tight though, so it may indeed need some tuning. I’ll post a short description of how I did it.

I’ll definitely double-check the other levels as well when I’m back and get back to you. Thanks again for the feedback!

Mayhem 24:

  • Lem #2: bash at the top of the stairs.
  • Lem #1: start mining left at the bottom of the stairs (very early, so that new lemmings don’t fall into the gap and die).
  • Once the gap is deep enough for the lemmings to turn around, stop the miner by making him a builder.
  • As soon as Lem #2 (the basher) is done, quickly start building a ramp.
  • Don’t finish the ramp: use bashing to stop the builder early, so the lemmings don’t fall off the ramp and splat.


I thought that was the solution you had in mind and had actually tried that many times before my previous post, but the problem I always had was another lemming would be right there just as the basher would finish so I would always end up losing one anyway.

Luck plays a HUGE part in completing that level, and as luck would have it, I just tried again and got lucky with not having a lemming right at the end as the basher finished, allowing me to finish the level in exactly that manner.

Now I've only got mayhem  21 left. If only I had three more bridges I could do it...

i will double check asap. Will make sure to get back to you

As promised, I wanted to get back to you about Mayhem 21.

I tested it, and the solution is a bit custom compared to the NES version, but it’s definitely doable. It’s actually not even that difficult once you know how. :)

Mayhem 21:

  • Lem #1: build stairs over the water.
  • Lem #2: build stairs against the rocks so he turns around.
  • When the lemming walking back reaches the water, make him build stairs to the left.
  • Make the first lemming that drops down on the left a builder.
  • Make the lemming following behind him a digger, so he destroys the stairs and traps all the remaining lemmings between the two rocks.
  • Take the lemming that built the stairs on the left side of the rock and make him build two more sets of stairs towards the goal.
  • Once the stairs are complete, make one of the trapped lemmings a basher to open the way for everyone.

PS: Super cool to hear that this is the last level you still have left! If you finish this one, you’ll be the first person I know of who has completed all 100 levels. :)

Make sure to show me the celebration screen when you do. I’ll definitely make sure to spread the word! :)
