I am having a problem getting the bomber gruntz to move. I understand the principle of trying to shoot and then running quickly away but it's just not working here. I either blow the bomber up or he stubbornly won't move. I'm so depressed! 7 new levels (and really only 4 for me as I tested the Hebrew ones) and I cannot get past the beginning of any of them. Boohoohoo!! Definitely need more walkthroughs.!

One question: do you stand EXACTLY next to him? Between You and Bomber You want to move has to be NO free tilez. Then, if You shoot him - he will start "Kamikadze run".

Aaah, of course! Smash cupcakez and THEN press ? switch with your GauntletzGrunt! Just when you'll finish this secret - then GauntletzGrunt takes Springz!

Is there a trick to being able to keep up with this? I don't see how it is possible to move the Grunt fast enough even if you anticipate where the next tile to step on will appear.

First of all, You have to know where you have to step. So save game, look, remember and reload. Second: You have to be still in motion - when Grunt is stepping onto one bridge, click on second, which will appear. I don't know what else can I say?

I will give it a try but it sounds like if this CL was designed with the expectation that it would be too difficult for anyone to pass. I find that sad. I play this game for fun and relaxation and trying to play a game that was purposly made so hard to play that few if any would be able to pass it is just not fun for me.

pease help me with the ShieldGruntz in the RollingBalls maze. is very hard to do.

I agree 100 percent. It makes me sad that there are so many levels on my computer that I cannot finish. I think all designers should consider all players when designing their levels. If you make a game to see how far you can push your own limits, then maybe you shouldn't share with the rest of us. As was said above, most of us just want to have fun and relax. Some mental stimulation is fine, but physically, I don't want to feel like I'm running a marathon.

[Sheroan]

agree,
I have three days trying pass this custom level, and several but… in which I have advanced much, but every time they are put but difficult,

that she wins with to make this type of game, because the game is for funny, does not stop to take extress.
one of the difficult areas but of this game, is necessary to cross it three times, I obtain it to I with after several hours trying it, but I consider it unnecessary.
without intentions to offend, a little less complicated try to match.
already that she is not forced to play them, but I it likes to play.

I made a lot of CLs and I say truly: this one is the hardest ( reason is simple: this one was almost my first one ). You can consider it like an extreme sport ... Extreme sports are for relax? May be ... but IMHO, they're not. If You try them, You want to TEST yourself! So ... if You think it's too hard for You, DON'T TRY IT!

Well ... I really consider CLs' solving as fun, just like You. But that's not good, if everyone want to abandon game, because CL is too frustrating ... If You think that's frustrating CL, try ILoveGrunt'z Zone .

Please, stop saying that's too hard - if You think it really is - QUIT! Well ... If You don't know, I'll tell You: I don't feel really good ( If You know, what I mean ... ), when everyone one is writing: "This CL is really frustrating ; CLz are ONLY for fun, so I quit ... " ... That's all.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERFECT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excuse me if him offend my commentary,

I did but it generally,
I especially do not talk about anybody,
only that level is custom that is very difficult and the majority does not explain how to play.
I feel it, but I did not want to offend nobody.
I request excuses if in something offend.

It watches this that I finish finishing, is very difficult, I take long time, but at least have his walkthroug, and manages to finish it in Perfect.

I used translates, I hope that understand me.

Tomalla, this is a very interesting level. I agree with other postz that it is very difficult and I would not have been able to finish it without the excellent walkthrough that you wrote. Your walkthroughz are fantastic and I appreciate all the work you put in them. However, I almost gave up a few timez. The candle areaz were quite difficult, but the hardest was the rolling ballz where the boomerz were. I was quite relieved when at last I was able to complete the level. Unfortunately, I missed 1 coin. Can't figure out where it is. I did enjoy the level even without the PERFECT! The harder the level, the more statisfaction there is in just completing it. Sorry this is a little long, but I feel that you designers put so much work in your levelz, that it is important for us to give you feedback and THANKS!!

[Tomalla]

Wow, thank you. After all of those replies describing my CL as terrible and unsolvable, I feel really ... satisfied, after your post. And, no ... you don't have to thank ME. I thank ... you.

Hi, i am at the part where my Spade gruntz is on a Blue Hold switch and the Shield gruntz has to pass three tiles over water. the first 2 tiles are easy but the timing of the 3rd tile is very difficult. I always end up landing in water! Any tips?

[BattlezM]

Well I finally decided to take another crack at this level after forgetting about it for some time.
I did complete it this time around. And indeedy I also agree with the frustrations of some of the puzzlez, but overall it was great.

I also had to take a few glancez at the walkthrough to verify various thingz and figure stuff out. (that water bridge tile... the shield having to be temporarily stuck in the pyramidz [didn't expect to do something like that] also the shield walking through candlez the wrong way)

No perfect for me either unfortantly, I missed a few secretz that became too late to get (well the one near the end may have been possible to get back to but I decided that finishing the level was enough )

I also found I did numerous thingz 'my way' from glances at the walkthrough while scrolling to useful partz.

• The yo-yo from the post guard bomb area was saved and instead used on the green bomb grunt, thus I had a squeak toy left over.
  
• I could kill the purple clubz in mine #1 (shovel/shield combo on the upper, and shovelz could beat the lower one on his own with a method similar to my gauntletz vs club method [shovelz getz in 2 hitz per single club hit])
  
• The freeze scroll was extraneous, I could attract all the green swordz, stick a timebomb on the staircase then wait in front of them blocking them in until right about when it exploded. (now, here would have been a great place for that squeak toy all the way back from mine #1 , since I could use it to trap a sword on the stairz and not have to use timebombz as a meat shield/plug. Unfortantly the squeak toy was lost in picking up the baby wonder, attempting to switch it off to my other grunt would have required a large amount of back tracking. )
  

Awesome lvl overall (and just about any good designer'z first lvlz are insanely hard...just look at my first few. )

[Tomalla]

WOW, you're the second one who finished that CL! I'm really impressed! And I don't know why, but you're right - my very first CLz are really hard ...

[FriedGruntzaholic]

Attempting this level for the first time. I'm at the part where Shovelz has to negotiate the arrowz maze. I am NOT having any success with this part. Shovelz either gets stuck walking in the "squared" circle (talk about an infinite loop ) or he gets shunted off to one hole or another. Walkthrough only has a passing mention of this maze and no questions or comments in this thread about it. So I'm the first. How do I time this puppy?

[BattlezM]

This part seemz to be all about timing. Similarly my grunt got stuck walking around in a loop too, though the arrow finally triggered in time to send him along his merry way, so it may be a matter of patience.
