Brainbuster!!! At least for me, anyway. I had to start over I-don't-how-many times because I exchanged one tool for another much too soon. Maddening!! At any rate--Perfect in 15:45.
Thanks, Gaby.

Will you be making a walkthrough for this one cause I am stuck within the first few minutes. I can think of about 3 places where you may be stuck in the first little bit. But before you start moving, you may want to watch to see who takes out whom. Then... The first place you may get stuck is where a secret is activated but you go... nowhere. Well in order to get anywhere with this secret, you will need to put something up in order to have a place to land. Your rubber Duck(ie)z swimming ability & his incredible speed will help you out there (Michael Phelps, watch out!). Is there somewhere else that your Duck can get to that might be useful?  The second is a switch (maybe a secret?) that you can get to, buuut....you might be better served by leaving that switch for someone else to get (perhaps someone who's decidedly not your friend?) The third place is somewhere where you get a few toolz and all can be used, but one of them might be more useful being left for a later time. After all, you may just pass this way again. And it would suck if you used the right tool at the wrong time. |

I was also stumped with this level. Had to really do some thinking.  When I got to the end, I found that I was 1 goo puddle short of what I needed to finish the level. Took me quite a while to figure out where to get that goo puddle, but I finished the level with a PERFECT! Gaby, thank you for another fantastic level.  |

Well I guess you could say I'm stuck in all the places you mentioned above. I had my toobz step on the blue toggle switch before hestepped on the black 1 switchz and warped. Then over there after I use the strawz and make a new gruntz I got the gunz and shot the enemy down the arrows, then went down and shot the rock onto the arrows but now what. Also I can't place my new gruntz on creation pad near the springz.

Well I guess you could say I'm stuck in all the places you mentioned above. I had my toobz step on the blue toggle switch before hestepped on the black 1 switchz and warped. So far so good. Sounds like you avoided the first couple of traps--used your Toobz to get the BS to the south before triggering the RW and leaving the ? switch for later and someone else. Sounds like you fell into the same trap I fell into--took the strawz too soon. You need to make a total of 3 new gruntz in order to finish. As I hinted earlier, you'll pass this way again so why not hold off using the straw. It'll be more useful if you get it somewhere else. So what to do, what to do?? Well, as Gaby suggested, make sure you do all you can do with the first shovel you pick up (pssst, it's a SECRET!). Then after you shoot 3(!) gruntz (2 to arrowz, 3rd to a quivering puddle of goo), find another shovel and use it to find another secret (is there an arrow somewhere that leads nowhere, yet why is it hidden?). |

while designing, every thing seems to be so obvious, makes sense and easy to figure out... LoL. Gaby, Gaby, you have made a game that rivals some of the most intricate designers. The start is the easiest area, but after that, whew!! I've gone the wrong way now and have to back up for the tenth or so time. Definitely a brain buster. I like it but will probably post for help in about ten more minutes. (breathing hard) That doggone BP by the start area won't come down. It has to be one of the newly baked gruntz job. I'm working on it.  Very interesting game Ms Gaby. |

Gaby that was great. What an interesting shift in play. The map was awesome and play was intriguing, tho something of a brain teaser. I liked it tho it threw a few curveballs at me. |

Well, Gaby, this has to be the trickiest level you have created yet!
I, too, am having trouble sorting out who doez what, when, with what tool...
Got the toobz part ok, I think....and the initial shovelz part, and the spongegun, I used him to kill the rockz grunt that is standing on the BHS, allowing the tilez in the lava pit to come up for the springz...
So, you are saying to wait to use the strawz?
Ok, it's ANOTHER restart!!!! LOL

I have slowly made my way through Gruntz Custom Levelz, providing game-time map imagez for those without one. I looked at this one: 35X35 ... "piece of cake!" ... not! Everybody (else) startz fighting from the first mouse click, making it almost impossible to show what the map lookz like before any move is made. So I had to make far more screen grabz on this one that the four (25X18+) that I thought would be required. Even then, I had to 'resurrect' a few Gruntz ... creating transparent GIF imagez in the process and replace thingz that were broken ... more transparent GIFz involved, there. After creating the game-time map, I was almost tempted to re-play it, just for fun ... then the doorbell rang, and Gruntz was forgotten. Oh well, another day, maybe. |

View the map!
...Ha! Ha! Scared ya', didn't I?
