"If you continue shifting... you won't be able to tell one from the other... and soon your reality will fall apart." Text above and level inspired by the Knytt Stories level "Shift" by Matt. |

Early BETA testing revealed a bit of a problem ... perhapz only in the display, but it could be a real problem due to some incorrect logicz. I am continuing to test (more efficiently, now that I know a bit about how the puzzle workz) to see if I can get the Warpstone  to the King. Edit: This Custom Level evidently revealz yet another Gruntz game engine 'bug'.  If the screen movez, due to the movement of one Grunt while the other Grunt is stepping on a Switch, Tile image(z) shift in the direction of the screen movement. Also, there seem to be tile attribute changez, because thingz that appear to be normal ground tilez turn into Quicksand. I presume that some of those are intentional, because when I clicked on a destination far from where the Grunt I wanted to move was standing, that would normally result in taking a round-a-bout route to the destination, instead the Grunt walked into a wall (that turned into a Quicksand tile). Moving "the hard way" (selecting several pointz, instead of merely clicking on a destination) avoided that particular problem. But even with my most careful movement, tilez were shifted in the display, making it very difficult to see where any 'safe' place might be.  But I will try once more to get to the Warpstone piece ... and the solution. |

I still have not managed to achieve a " PERFECT!" score on this one ... did not acquire the Warp letter, but got everything else. I have this nagging suspicion that the puzzle is not yet complete, and the way to the Warp letter  remainz to be created. |

I missed the secret to the 'W'.  Great level!  Easily one of the best executed conceptz I've seen in a Cl. (a small one, to boot)  |

got every thing but the warp letter...  ... and no perfect... normally the letter is not counted for the perfect... BTW the graphicz play bad, and I do not mean the changez of the landscape... I assume it's the engine bugz...  |

The invisible tile, when lacking a backplane to display, resultz in some very strange resultz. It's more of a game engine exploit as opposed to a bug. (otherwise levelz like this would just crash due to game not knowing what to make of the nonsense) |

This was one of a kind, was an interesting bug, and the ending with my visual graphicz went nutz because of engine, I never did figure that arrow but I got perfect score after replaying through few times, with help here, great done and thank you as I didn't know about this bug!
