Okay, I finished it with the same elusive coin missing. (43 of 44) The last, long series of silver pyramids was a killer. Hesitate for a fraction of a second and you're goo. Good level though. Very imaginative. I did miss 2 coins, but i know that i 1 coin forgeted to digg up. Thanks for the nice level

So it turns out a missing coin is not a coincidence after all. How are you going to find this unlucky coin BattlezM? Or perhaps you already have?

I'm in middle of this level and so I'm enjoying it. I wanna thank whoever made this level, it's challenging, and in a good way. I don't know when I'll finish it, but it will take some time.
I made a video of myself doing the level, but I'm sure GooRoo is not ok with me linking that level since I do swear quite a lot, so I won't.

BattlezM is the designer this time, and everyone has to admit he's done quite a good job on this one And about a video, I guess you could provide a link. If it won't be suitable as you say, just delete the link and everyone will be OK. You could send me it via PM anyway

You could send me it via PM anyway Very well then, I will send you a link to the video via PM, but I must warn you, it does have a lot of swearing. And that is the reason why I don't think it would be suitable on those forums since it's against the rules.

I loved it when you loaded up the level - your first words to be more particular: " Holy syet!!! This is going to be challenging alright?!?" I didn't expect it at all and I thought I'll choke to death laughing ... I loved the pronounciation Nice one! Though you'll have to forgive me; it's the first part so far and it already takes ... 1 hour 10 minutes? I say: WOW, kinda long ... too long I guess. And yeah, you are quite impulsive indeed Cheers Edit: What software did you use to record the game? I've been struggling to do such a thing for a long time already.

Thanks! Triggering those hydrodynamicz was one of the more tedious projectz of all my Clz, but the effect was well worth it imo. I'm curious to see this video myself, I'd like to see someone's thoughtz while going through one of my levelz.

Yeah, this is an interesting idea ... Bjarni, would mind playing one of my CLz and recording it with all this commentary? I'd like to hear what you guys think about them too!

I'm curious to see this video myself, I'd like to see someone's thoughtz while going through one of my levelz. The video shouldn't be hard to find, though it doesn't show up at the YouTube search results for some reason. But you can find it if you go to my YouTube channel, (BlazikenMaster is my youtube username, link to my channel can be found on my profile here.) and click the video titled "Me Playing Gruntz - Can Someone Get Those Pink Gun Hatz For Me - Part 1/?" but I must warn you it does contain a lot of swearing. Edit: What software did you use to record the game? I've been struggling to do such a thing for a long time already. The software I used is Fraps. I also have a webcam which I used to record the gameplay sound along with my voice when I did the commentary. Yeah, this is an interesting idea ... Bjarni, would mind playing one of my CLz and recording it with all this commentary? I'd like to hear what you guys think about them too! I am thinking about making commentaries on other Gruntz levels. If you tell me which one of your levels you recommend, I might check it out and do a commentary on it. Gruntz is a very fun game, but it isn't very well known. That's why I'm thinking about making more commentaries. Maybe, just maybe that will get this game more widely known. My main intention in making those commentaries is of course to entertain. And it makes me happy to accomplish just that. Nice one! Though you'll have to forgive me; it's the first part so far and it already takes ... 1 hour 10 minutes? I say: WOW, kinda long ... too long I guess. Yeah, I will admit that over an hour is very long. But this is a level that takes over an hour to finish, and since this level has a lot of variety I'm sure my video is still worth watching.

My main intention in making those commentaries is of course to entertain. And it makes me happy to accomplish just that. I might make the small recommendation on avoiding the cursing entirely. It'll let you extend commentariez around more, since they'll be appropriate for all age groupz. Thus more for 'making the game well known'

Well, the fact is swearing is my style. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to stop doing that. But I do appreciate your recommendation though. I will not link to the videos when I upload them to YouTube, and maybe I shouldn't let people know I made a new video here on this forum. Do you think I should avoid letting people on this forum know when a new commentary is up on my YouTube account? I could do that, no problem. Now I am thinking about making a link in my signature to a list of all my commentaries on Gruntz levels, but I'm not sure if it's ok. Of course at the top of the page will be a big disclaimer stating that the commentaries have a lot of swearing. But I'm still not sure if it's ok to post a link like that. So I won't make a link to a page like that in my signature as of now. Edit: Here is the link to the page I was talking about: pokeblaze.hostei.com/BlazesGruntzCommentaries.htmlEdit: (2) Ok, ok, this is getting way off-topic. I think it's safe to say we should continue this discussion elsewhere. But what place would be more suitable for this discussion? This is defiantly not the right place since this thread is supposed to be about the level. Edit: (3) I have decided to put that link to my signature. If it's not ok, let me know by sending me a personal message and I will remove the link myself. The discussion on my commentaries is over, I will not be continuing that discussion in this thread since this thread is supposed to be about the level, nothing else.

Well okie-dokie. And from watching the video I bring this post to mind on your current situation to save later frustration (the yellow health gunhat who wandered over spikez at the very beginning), as you'll be forced to restart fairly soon because of him. I almost finished the level except for one thing. One of the gunhatz has to walk over a bunch of spikes to get to his blue wormhole so his health is down before he starts his battle with the enemy gunhat. There's no way he can possibly survive to let the warpstone grunt through. Help please. Your Sponge-Gun Gruntz were supposed to help him pass the spikes fields. Just shoot at the spikes field and just before a ball lands, order your GunHat Grunt walk on the same spikes field. He'll get knocked-out behind this field without taking any damage. Repeat it few times until your GunHat Grunt will have enough health to fight another opponent. If you're at the end of the CL ... well, you'll have to go back a *little*.

Thanks for the heads up. Well, I'm sure I will have fun with the rest of the level.

Ok, I'm stuck near the red bridges, (close to the sponge/shovel/timebomb checkpoint) the only way to proceed in the level is to dig a whole near the rolling rock. But the problem is the rock goes so fast I will never make it in time. I wasn't able to dig one hole because of that rolling ball. Can somebody please help me? Thank you very much.

Just knock-out your Shovelz Grunt thoughout the hole with a little help of your SpongeGunz Grunt ... then you'll have enough time to fill in the hole and proceed

I finished this level and I gotta say, great job. This level has a fair challenge, and was fun. I didn't care about getting perfect score, I just wanted to finish the level.
I'm sure there are many more challenging levels. I will do a commentary on one of Tamalla's levels next. You asked for it, you got it.
