Another old level I dug up and realized was finished. So I played it, and it's all fine except for a small bug which barely affects anything.
While its small, it has some (slightly  ) challenging puzzlez involving SpongeGun, and a tricky bridge which I thought was a bug |

Quite done, Tomalla finished testing it. I'll add a crumble bridge to help in a puzzle (which was quite tight timed, it took myself 10 triez or so ), but that's not anything that requirez starting testing from scratch. I'm sending it to GooRoo ASAP. |

Sorry for the double triple post, but... any newz on this, GooRoo? I have been unable to verify this one, for a few reasonz: - I have been involved with a stage play of "Heaven Can Wait" for five weekz
- I only have one SAVE slot available, so many re-startz have been made
- I now have a fair idea of how the puzzle should be solved ... and time to try some more
I still have a timing problem (at the very minimum!) with the use of the Gauntletz grunt ... I can get him into an area with three Coinz  and the WARP letter  ... but cannot get him back into play. Since he is needed to get the Warpstone Piece  , there has to be a way out! Perhapz I was just hurried, and the Secret Switch  providez a way out that I did not see ... or simply did not reach in time. So I am making the puzzle downloadable for any gruntzer to try ... with no promise that it is truly ready for release. When I return from this morning's errandz, I will get back to trying for a solution ... "Heaven Can Wait" is no longer an issue.  |

I'm quite sure it's no trouble getting back with the help of a spongegun... unless the Sword enemy is still alive, which I doubt are you sure you cannot push him back through the holez? |

Getting Gauntletz back to the Green Hold Switch is not a problem ... getting him out of there is very much a problem! |

ah, another SpongeGun trick... position your Gauntletz above the stairway, and shoot it with spongegun. Imediately move Gauntletz to the stairway below. Slightly before the ball arrives, walk in the hole. You should be pushed out of it. It's a technique to jump two tilez with spongegun instead of just one! |

I have tried several dozen timez, and every attempt ended in failure. So I feel that this CL should be moved into the 'frustrating' difficulty category. I foresee even more frustration in getting Gauntletz (and one other grunt) into the Bad Water pool in order to 'give his all' to remove the explosive Brickz  from under the Warpstone Piece and the Warp letter  ...since both gruntz once again require the 'assistance' of the SpongeGun grunt ... with no stable place to stand!!! |

I have not been able to complete this CL (without cheating), but finally managed to get through the Gauntletz escape from the area of the Green Hold Switch, so am distributing this one (along with "SummerInMinnesota" by Oldone) tonight. I maintain that anyone no longer able to be called a teenager will rate this one as 'frustrating', due to the timing of mini-puzzlez. I doubt that I will ever be able to get the Warpstone to the king without cheating.

I agree there's timing with the SpongeGun on the bad water. But I gave that bridge a long time to stay up so you can get on it, then shoot, then move. aww, I can't believe this level ended up as frustrating...  by the way, I'm 99% sure that the gauntletz can blow the brickz opening acess to the 'P' and the warpstone, unless I'm highly mistaken and there's a fatal flaw  and about the comment 'with no stable place to stand', I'm sure there are normal bridgez that CAN be raised throughtout the level  |

Can you tell how to start. I don't see what i must do in the start ? I had grunt #2 get the SpongeGun and immediately shoot both Bricklayer gruntz to stop them from laying Brickz. Grunt #1 getz the Gauntletz and breakz everything he can reach. Grunt #2 'aidz' grunt #3 to get the two Coinz. I cannot tell you what else to do, since what I did may be entirely wrong (turned three Sword gruntz into Goo Puddlez). |

Every time there is a CL, that is deemed frustrating (other that my own) I tend to get really exited.  Partly because I love the challenge, partly because of envy . I have not tried this CL yet, but when I do, I will give my opinion on its difficulty. (usually listening to the designer lowerz the difficulty a lot) |

Can you tell how to start. I don't see what i must do in the start ? First of all, prepare BareHanded Grunt in the area with Sword Gruntz. Pick up Gauntletz, destroy all rockz around etc. Then place a squeak toy just behind SwordGrunt most to the left. Switch to another two Gruntz. One of them pickz up SpongeGun. Then collect two coinz next to the arrowz set to the left. The last arrow, one tile above the GreenPyramid, is a trigger for the Secret Teleporter. So, get right timing and let one of your Gruntz step there. He must be knocked back ( if you don't want him to be squashed ) by your SpongeGunGrunt. Secret Teleporter will transport one of the enemies on the GreenHoldSwitch ... Thet's the beginning  |

Yeah actually, you aren't supposed to kill the Sword Gruntz, they are standing on purple switchez (afterall, why the hell I'd make you shoot each one twenty timez? ) since they're Defenderz, any that is removed from his post by a toy will return to it ASAP Remember one of the Swordz will stab you, as long as it's not two, it's fine the SecretTeleporter is vital and it requires some good timing to get the W, but the most important is to know what to do first, then you need to time it right. |

Getting the Warp Letter  is easy ... just wait until you have removed the enemy grunt  from the Green Hold Switch  ... no rush at all to get the prize. |

So, now I've tried it. I can say that the frustrating tag is not required - it is not THAT hard to do the double sponge trick (Its a bit tricky, but grouping your gruntz helps a lot if you are a slow clicker). I did find that the CL as a whole was quite hard (and very enjoyable). Figuring out exactly what to to and when to do it easily puts this in the VERY HARD category. Enough of the seriousness - Fantastic CL SwordGrunt  , I must say that it is one of the best I have ever played. I'm impressed  Oh yeah, and PERFECT in 33:39 |
