Everyone should really SAVE their screen shotz as JPGz ... much preferred over BMPz, since they are much smaller in storage requirementz. And smaller image (storage) sizez meanz faster downloadz. GIFz are sometimez even smaller than JPGz, but with some loss in image quality.

Perhapz when I viewed the screen shotz before, there was a lot of Internet activity (or some such), because the imagez appeared very slowly, almost pixel row by pixel row ... characteristic of BitMap imagez. Now, the imagez appear in a flash, as JPGz normally do. If they have been JPGz all along, I don't know what to say, except the slowness made me think they were BMPz.  |

This Custom Level and its Statz Page image were made available from Tomalla's web host ... and were not sent to me in the 'normal' manner. So it was not handled in a proper and timely manner (by me!), since I had not verified it, and uploaded it to this Forum's web host. It is now released, and the linkz now refer (properly) to the Forum's web host. Of course, now I have another Custom Level to play.  |

Since 'luck' and I are so far removed from one another, I really hate Gruntz puzzlez involving Wingz  , TimeBomberz  and Hit&Run gruntz  (no matter what tool they have)! Combine them all with trying to maneuver two (or more!) of them onto Switchez, and my frustration level reachez 11 on a scale of 0 to 10.  In this puzzle, the two enemy TimeBomberz who need to be standing on Purple Multi- Grunt Switchez  seem to insist on blowing each other up ... at least 9 attemptz out of 10! Or they decide to stand in the path of the Rolling Rock  . Either way, it is back to the last SAVE and re-try. After finally making it to the safety of a lowered PMGS beyond the sensing range of the nearest enemy TimeBomber , I lost too much health against the enemy grunt  to make it to safety with the Super Speed Powerup  . After I spend some time doing something fun for a while, I will go back to my SAVE before the last Orange Pyramid  and try again to battle with (much) less loss of health. But I know that my game timer time will be extremely slooooow, due to the time spent with satisfying the PMGSz.   |

What about those toyz you found?  The green wingz can easily be taken care of if rockz just keeps moving while recharging, you can even get the other rock grunt near the switch to hit the wing for you too. P.S. - at the end I managed to skip the puzzle by luring the timebomber after my grunt, so he triggerred the RTS instead of the rock for me. |

What about those toyz you found? I used one to place one enemy grunt on a Purple Multi- Grunt Switch ... but another enemy grunt pushed him off! (And I had the other enemy grunt standing on the other PMGS! ) My time was a bit slow, but I got to the vicinity of the Super Speed Powerup with absolutely no loss of health. In one of my earlier attemptz, I did the same thing ... but had missed a few thingz. |

You can prevent of all of this You are talking about. ... as BattlezM said, you have those toyz! Lure them to go onto Purple Switchez and give a toy. That's all. You are talking about the PMGS most to the east? Green WingzGrunt cannot push TimeBomber off the switch ( directly at least ), because his RANGE is too short. So I don't know what Your problem with him really is ... Hah, maybe it's time for another video walkthough? Anywayz, I'm trying to make soundz better in videoz ( recorded sound's quality is really low ). I heard I can plug in "AudioWire In-In" into AudioIn and AudioOut of my PC to make recorded sound better. Anyone heard something of it? ( my darn vocabulary, I don't blame anyone if doesn't know what I am talking about ). Tomalla |

That Wingz grunt certainly did manage to hit the TimeBomber on the PMGS ... somehow. TimeBomber was playing with his Toy when I left, and when I got the other grunt onto the other PMGS nothing happened ... and I looked back and grunt #1 was one tile north of the PMGS.  And TimeBomber gruntz place a bomb and then move away in random directionz. My luck is that they move to stand next to a Rock containing another TimeBomb ... and get blown away! (Or move into the path of the Rolling Rock ... and get squashed.) |

Well then, if that wing grunt can hit the timebomber, certainly you can hit him back. And perhaps you should swap which grunt you place on the switch? As perhaps one of the timebomberz is allied with the wing while one is not. |

If one timebomber would be allied and second not, they would fight with each other, and they're not. And, yes, if you are so much angry at that WingGrunt, you may just ... kill him And problem's gone. |

That is exactly what I did ... on the next attempt at the CL. (I SAVEd when I got the second PMGS filled ... then noticed that the PPz still did not go down ... and the reason why.) Learning from my mistakez, I greatly reduced the health of some enemy gruntz, turned otherz into quivering Goo Puddlez, and eliminated the nasty grunt sending out miniature tornadoez in between avoiding the 'presentz' of the other grunt.

I would definitely say this is a medium with some quirky parts level.
It is frustrating me right now. There are 2 enemy time bomberz in an area close to the start, but after going thru the GPz. These 2 gruntz need to stand on 2 purple switchez. One of the time bombers is hemmed in with rockz but keepz blowing himself up. He doesn't get out of the way when he placez the bomb. Dumb grunt. How does he get out from behind the rockz so I can lure him to where I want him?
I've tried to use the other bomber to blow up the rockz but that doesn't work either. So I looked for a way to lower the last two green pyramidz that are still raised. No switchez. Help!

You won't probably read it, peekaboo, but: at first, do not raise the GPz pair, one tile north from the RPz. Second, try to lure the Time Bomber, saying your Rock Grunt to go one Tile below all the Rockz and let the enemy go south after he placez a bomb. It'z able to do! I got PERFECT! score in 13:24. Great level, Tomalla, I needed some time and repetitions to solve it! Even fighting with one of the Wingz Gruntz was a challenge.  Thankz! |
