After I update the HTML indicez for this morning, I will re-play the CL from the beginning, to see if I can duplicate the problem. If so, I will make more changez, re-test (from the beginning!) and re-upload the corrected CL.

I don't know what to say! I just completed this CL (for the fourth time!) in less than 30 minutez, without any problemz at all! Here is my own Statz Page image as proof (even comez close to the Designer's own time!).

I have downloaded this game again and still hit the same problem with the second grunt, I am using windows 7 could that be the problem?

I doubt that Windows 7 can be the problem. I will re-upload the puzzle I played to prove it worked as planned, and all I can offer is "try again".

LSD has been replaced on the web host, so anyone may download it and try again.

One piece of advice I can give is "step on any switch once, and only once". (I do not trust myself to remember how many timez I have stepped on a switch, to be sure it was an odd number of timez.)

[brontesis]

I have downloaded it again, will let you know if it works.

Thankz

I think the problem is in the way you are attacking the puzzle, rather than a fatal flaw in the puzzle itself. As I mentioned before, I played this puzzle to a "PERFECT!" score, after I made the changez ... and even approached the Designer's own solving time! But, since some Gruntzerz are having problemz, tomorrow I will re-play it again, to prove that it workz ... or discover where the problem liez. If I find a problem, I will fix it, and re-upload the puzzle to the web host. So in twelve to fourteen hourz, I will be posting again ... that is, within a couple hourz of returning home.

I just finished replaying this CL ... to a "PERFECT!" score in about 31 and a half minutez (a bit slow, due to trying to play in 1024X768 screen resolution ... and the game quitting every time I tried to restore from a SAVE). There was one point where Grunt #2 had Gauntletz where the Red Warp did not whisk him away to the next area. I restored from the previous SAVE, changed the timing a bit, and it worked fine the second try. So there is one of the "Switchez and Pyramidz" (one of my early CLz that exploited the Death Tile destination ... to the chagrin of none other than Guenter!) type "GOTCHA"z. Do thingz in the wrong order, or at the wrong time, and you lose. Best plan is to SAVE often, so you may "try, try again".

I have try it in win 7 - 800x600 but no luck. Now i have try it in my old computer with XP and same problem with the second gruntz.
You did fix the red Warp from the first gruntz but can't fix the problem with the red warp from the second gruntz
So i did remove (with GruntzEdit) the green pyramids, the red warp works and did get the perfect
I stop now to play it again and again
Thanks

I tested this level with no problems at all. Now I'm playing it again and my second grunt won't warp. How frustrating! Will go back to my save, but I have no idea why this is happening. What did I miss? Somehow my order is wrong but I can't (this time) figure it out.

[GooRoo]

As I mentioned in a recent post, I had a problem with Grunt #2 not being whisked away. On my restore, I just waited a second or two, and the Red Warp worked as expected.

I just get squished by the rock gruntz

Can you tell me (approximately) where you are in the map, and what tool ou have when it happenz? (You may be having your problem in a different place, and at a different time than my Gauntletz Grunt one-time problem, where just a slight change in timing worked fine.)

[jeanval]

I'm having the same problem. At the island directly below and to the right of the fort, I've taken the blue warp to the center, and the orange pyramids go down.

The green switch triggers the red warp on the switch, and my gauntletz gruntz stays in place -- then the purple rock gruntz from the fort area warps over and lands on him.


BTW, love your levels, thanks for sharing them!

[jeanval]

Additional note: I edited the level so the gauntlez grunt lands one square right, under the tubz, and the warp worked fine, but the green pyramids are a problem. The origional landing stays down, and the two accessing the area stay up.

Is seems like the gauntlez grunt is not triggering the switch, and I don't have time to step on/off before the red warp disappears.

thank you for playing my CL, and thank you for trying to fix it... I'm so sorry that this game caused problemz and inconvenience to solverz as yourself... I my self did not experienced such a problem and neither did my Beta tester... I'll ask GooRoo if he can fix it...
glad you liked my other gamez...

I have not had a problem with it ... I believe any problem is confined to doing something in the wrong order ... or not at all. It seemz obvious to me that this one would benefit from having a rather detailed walk-through. I will see about creating one as I play through it again, to try to determine what solverz may be missing.

[GooRoo]

I started playing this yesterday, but forgot that I had changed the screen resolution to 1024X768 ... which workz for simply doing screen grabz, but does not work at all for actually playing the game on my Vista 32-bit system. So the first time I tried to SAVE and later restore when I made a mistake, the game exited. That was fairly late at night, so I did not try to re-start. I will now reset my screen resolution to 800X600 and play through at least to the point of the reported problem. I may even start a walk-through as I am re-playing it. At the very least, I will copy the skeleton componentz for an HTML walk-through into the LSD folder, so the requirementz for a walk-through will be there as I work through the map.

[GooRoo]

I believe the problem may be that some Gruntzerz are not doing everything possible when one of their Gruntz has Wingz . There are some Black One-Time Switchez on another 'diamond' near the diamondz with Green Toggle Switchez and an enemy Grunt near a raised Green Pyramid ... and a Giant Rock Crystal between them. On the left side that is not as much of a problem, but on the right side (Grunt #2) it is very much a problem if the BOTS is not pressed before reaching the SecretTeleporterTrigger.

I just completed this CL (again!) with a "PERFECT!" score in a little less than 31 and a half minutez, so don't think any change is necessary.

BTW, I will not be doing a walk-through, because there are so many Toolz, Secretz and Coinz to inventory, and I have just received more than a dozen Star Trek bookz, and will have to read at least two of them by February 3^rd (a two-part seriez, with Volume two being from the local library and due on that date). Since both my wife and I have dental appointmentz (two molarz being extracted for my wife, and two fillingz for me) and our normal schedule of matchez (and my wife filling in on a competition group twice), I will not be very active on the Gruntz Forum for ten dayz to two weekz. That just doesn't leave any time for writing such a large walk-through.
