I think you're very devious. I sacrificed something and now seem to be able to carry on. We'll see what happens. How many SecretTeleporterTriggerz have you found so far? Shovel, Gravity Bootz, Gauntletz and Springz will each pick up a Warp letter ... before the team of five goez through the regenerating Blue Wormhole  . |

Yea! I got the Perfect. Took me twice as long as you, but then you did know what you were doing. Very good, GooRoo. Great level. Lots of thought. I finished twice. The first time I sacrificed gauntletz, but I had missed a coin so I went back to my save. This time I got smart. No sacrifice necessary. Wish I had thought of it earlier. I got all the warp letters too.  |

I got all the warp letters too. I just wonder how many will 'read' the underlying message?!? The Old Testament of the Bible (mostly Exodus, Leviticus and Numbers) give rulez for the Tabernacle. If you know the rulez, you know what order thingz are done in, for this CL.  |

Hmmm, just read all the pre-release and BETA testing postz....I have started to play this level...and since I don't know the rulez of the Tabernacle, I went ahead and walked around to the top, to step on the RTS so that the RP'z stay down, allowing me to walk almost anywhere...have I already started out wrong?

Yes, you definitely "started out wrong" ... and have identified a failure in my CL design that was not disclosed by BETA testing, as well!  I suppose it must have been rather easy to avoid being squashed by the Rolling (Malted) Milk Ball  ... something I did not consider. I should have added some Birthday Candlez  toward the west of the starting point, as well as toward the east (which are there to prevent accessing the Warp letter  ). My intention was for the solver to plunge straight ahead into "the Outer Court". |

I am surprised (and a little disappointed) that no one has sent me some "hate mail" regarding the section 'The Outer Court' or the transition from 'The Holy Place' into 'The Holy of Holies'. I intended both sectionz to be "hair pullerz". |

My intention was for the solver to plunge straight ahead into "the Outer Court". I noticed this initially too. But I didn't bother mentioning anything since the area closed itself off anyway. If you run up there, you will not be properly equipped to do anything but mess up the level for when you do end up going back and doing it right to begin with.  |

How many gruntz do you have? How many Purple Multi- Grunt Switchez  need to be occupied? If you cannot get four enemy gruntz  to occupy those PMGSz, is there another option? |

OK, guess it's a restart then...and those wingz should stay put with a yoyo to keep them occupied maybe? Although since the RP'z will now be up, how do you get from one area to the next? And, is there a goober straw somewhere ?

But once they start chasing you, they will never stop ... until they cannot move any more ... such as, as a quivering Goo Puddle  ... or trapped inside Purple Pyramidz  . True, those Red Pyramidz  will not stay down long enough to cross them, but perhapz the Purple Pyramidz of the vail between "The Holy Place" and "The Holy Of Holies" might be opened? You had the only GooberStraw  you are going to get much earlier, when you assembled your team. |

Hey, I just want to make sure ... when I was killing SpongeGunz at the beginning, yellow SwordGrunt ( this one in the area with BlueSwitches ) has ... drown - he stepped onto unstable cupcake and ... he died. I don't know why lol So here's my question: is he needed or something? Is just just a CL bug and I should start it over? I don't want to realize in the middle of game that something's missing ... |

12 only? Hah, so that doesn't matter actually, because I have 15 GooPuddlez :PP With very careful play, 16 Goo Puddlez may be sucked up, allowing four new gruntz to be baked ... but there are only four Blue (once-only) Wormholez to get them into play. That is why the Statz show 5 (or 6) survivorz ... one may be left standing on the brazen altar (the GruntCreationPad  area), unable to get anywhere. And the 0 (or 1) death is whether your own grunt or one of the 'defenderz' openz the final 'door'. |

I completed that game with 2 Yoyoz, zero death and ( almost ) six survivors? I thought the final "door"  can be opened by defenderz only. Is there any other way? |

Your Gauntletz grunt  could open the final door  ... but not survive the task. |

I am working on the  for this Custom Level, but it is not quite complete ... yet. I have a colonoscopy scheduled for tomorrow morning, and (depending on how I feel afterward) it could be another day or two before it is available. |
