Yes, you DID read Zone2. It is the logical followup on Zone1, with all the characteristics it had.
this time it is 8 great puzzlez, each meant to be innovative in their own way.

As Zone1 this CL is rated frustrating

Hope you will enjoy

Dear Ilovegruntz,
It will be hard to enjoy if it is frustrating!

[Gaby]

as Oldone said and no one enjoys frustrating gamez unless they are masochist and I believe no Gruntzer is... life has it's frustrating momentz and gamez should take our mind of them...

Don't Panic

As I wrote to Zone 1 - I have stopped making those nearly impossible puzzlez, now its intense thinking and not intense clicking that is needed.
Frustrating is referring to the level of thinking and strategy that is needed - something that experienced gruntzerz (like yourselvez) are good at

[SwordGrunt]

Zone2! I'll want to take a look at this one when it's released. I know I won't suceed even half of the first section, but I wanna see those puzzlez.


P.S. Are you making the Zone CLz in an inverse way? Start from Space, finish on Rockz?

[ILoveGruntz]

Yes I am doing them in reverse order...

The same goes for the number of areas - Zone1 had 9, Zone2 will have 8 ect.

[SwordGrunt]

Yay, now that is some creative style!

[ILoveGruntz]

Finished for testing

Now I only need a beta tester before i add eyecandy and voicez. Any volunteerz?

I might give some spoilerz though

The way the areaz are arranged in this CL are:

1__2
_34
_56
7__8

Some of the areaz i am really proud of - like area 4 and 5, and i hope that you will enjoy playing them as much as i enjoyed creating them.

[SwordGrunt]

If you made an 'unusual' CL, meaning it was't Frustrating I'd go for the trouble. Don't expect me to try my hand at this one, though, unless you don't care if it takes some time to be released.

However, I never played it and can't rate it yet... so I'm not saying I'm unable to take the job.


Afterall, send it for me in Sunday, and I'll take a look. I'll only be able to play Gruntz in Sunday.

[ILoveGruntz]

Alpha testing completed. I do not have the statz screen image, as the final correction to be made was in the ending (I don't want to spend another 3 hours on the perfect right now ), but i do know that it should be possible to get the perfect in its current state.
SwordGrunt: if you feel up to it, you can pm me your email... But beware that it is rated frustrating
I might just say that it do have tight timing at some points, but the timing is eased by the fact that you are guided to clicking at the right time by your surroundingz (not like karaoke bar, where the surroundingz made you click at the wrong time).

[SwordGrunt]

Timing is one of my best friends in Gruntz, so that won't be a problem. The puzzle will puzzle me , but I will try the most I can. I've got no more BioShock to play anyways, so I can spend some time on Gruntz (and Zone2).


3 hours for you? I guess that will take me at least 5 hours. No worries, I can go to bed late as I'm in school vacation

PM on the way...

[ILoveGruntz]

Since this CL have been waiting for the release for more than a month now, I decided to play it again to get that much needed statz page. After another 3 hours of play, with my brain working overtime to remember the puzzlez , I managed to get it . Hopefully it can be released now, so that I can get started on Zone 3.

If you think it is ready to be distributed, send it to me. I have a full schedule from 6:30Pm this evening until about 5:00PM Sunday. Then I have about ten hourz on Monday, and four hourz on Tuesday. Then my schedule beginz to get cramped again.

[ILoveGruntz]

I already did... but as it was a month ago, you may have lost it somehow, so I will send it again.

I only had time to get the first Grunt out to release the three Gruntz so they could take their placez on the three Purple Multi-Gruntz Switchez immediately south of them. There is far more to this CL than I have time to solve, so I have made it available for anyone who wantz to tackle it ... unverified. I believe it is necessary for that first Grunt to return through the Green Pyramidz , and with the help of another Grunt, acquire the Coinz I had to leave behind in order to get to the Black One-Time Switch that freed the three Gruntz.

[BattlezM]

I have completed the level (without eyecandy), but I didn't get a PERFECT due to missing 2 coinz.

[manu]

I just made my way to the Perfect for this level
I had to look at the .wwd file and take some notes to figure out how some puzzles worked
It was a really challenging level, ILoveGruntz, thanks a lot for it
I just sent GooRoo a Statz Page image so as he can update this thread and maybe send this CL to all Gruntzers as it is now fully Beta tested

[GooRoo]

Just one problem: I just received an e-mail saying that my web site is being migrated to a new server, and I will be unable to do any maintenance for 24 to 48 hourz. And I am about half done with creating the new web site! I will be essentially duplicating what is on "Gruntz - The Journey Home", and adding a lot to it ... such as a link to this Forum! Fortunately, I am creating the web site on my own computer's hard drive, and will only need to copy the folder contentz to the web host in order to begin testing 'live'.

[ILoveGruntz]

As I have just finished Zone3 - I remembered that this CL was never released. I hope that it can be, as it is ALPHA and BETA-tested and confirmed playable.

Wow! Almost six monthz since my last post about (and last look at) this CL. I see that this will have to be another one of my projectz during this (relatively) slack time in my schedule. For one thing, I would like to have a screen grab of the Statz Page showing a "PERFECT!" result for the Gruntz Fanz ... so they know that they should be able to find (and do) everything.
