Another great level, Oldone. I got everything except the top-right coin next to the base. I didn't hit the YTS twice to dispose of the ball, I guess. I hate coming so close to perfection, and then figure out there's just one tiny thing that I screwed up. So, 99%, 99/100 coinz in 47 minutes. That really hurt.  Thankz for submitting it!  |

I feel like a perfect idiot. Don't know why I never wrote a walkthrough for this, but here I am trying to play it and I'm stuck. Thank you GooRoo for mentioning that there are four creation pads. Even after looking at the level editor I could only find three and obviously none of them were right. I'll have to go back to my old XP computer now and see if I can finish this game. I wish I was savvy enough to do everything these young geniuses were talking about so that I could play the game on this computer (Windows 10). Thanks for still being here. Still love this game.  |

I still have not gotten around to resurrecting my wife's old desktop in order to return to playing Gruntz via 'sneaker net'.  So I am unable to assist anyone in solutions to puzzlez, even those that I have played before to a "PERFECT!" score ... including ones that I created! This one, I recall, was made more difficult by having the four GruntCreationPads ... and the use of EyeCandy objects to make finding things 'challenging'. Any time there is more than one GruntCreationPad, the problem is to determine which one to use, in order to proceed through the puzzle. I have the uncanny knack of choosing the wrong one almost every time! That generates quite a few restarts, due to my arrogance in not doing frequent SAVEs when decision points such as which one to use comes up. If you create a walk-through, advice on where the next one to use is, in sequence would be handy.

Oh yes GooRoo. I'm the same. I am very surprised just how difficult my levels are. They seemed so easy when I made them. Maybe it's just my age, but yours are hard too, and some of the younger guys (who are now at least 26) are almost impossible for me. But I print out walkthroughs whenever I can.
While I'm writing to you I need some info. My XP finally gave out yesterday morning. BooHoo! But I had an newer version XP at work that we no longer use so I brought that home (yea!) I've spent the day cleaning it and installing Gruntz. Fortunately I had the backup that you sent many years ago when I bought the German version. So I have a Level editor. I also had all the custom levels on a flash drive along with walkthroughs. Unfortunately, I don't have the folder that contained the registry files. You know, the ones that let you change the size of the game. One was 800 x 600 and I can't remember the other size because I couldn't use it on XP. Anyway, where can I find that so I can copy it on a flash? Thanks!
