Oh boy, a new level from GooRoo! I'm definitely gonna try this one out

[Blaze The Movie Fan]

Well, the year is almost over. My question is will the level be ready before the end of the year?

If the level will be released next year it's totally understandable since good levels take a long time to make. So take your time, man.

I e-mailed it to SwordGrunt for BETA testing, so when I receive the report back, I will be able to fix whatever is wrong, and distribute it. Hopefully before Christmas Day.

I just got a new cable, had a tough time yesterday without internet I have plenty of catching up to do on updates to my projects, but I'll try to start playing this today.

SwordGrunt reported a "PERFECT!" on this, so I am distributing it to the Gruntz Fanz today!

Merry Christmas, Gruntzerz!

Shoot at the Hole , then have another Grunt step into it. You should only have to do that twice.

OK thanks, I'll give it a try...and a very happy new year to you.

Well, I don't quite understand this level. To say at least. Here are my comments on the level (the spoiler tag doesn't seem to work, for some strange reason, so watch it):

• First and foremost, seems like the purple switches completely lost their purpose. I've successfully achieved PERFECT score without even having to care about them. I've pressed the first few intuitively, but then noted, that the Warpstone piece is inside the section with the Fortress and purple pyramids. What's the point for the switches then? Who was I supposed to let "in"? In the end I just picked up all the coins and brought the Warpstone piece back to the King.
• I didn't have to use Wings and Gun Hat (perhaps because of the lack of need of pressing the purple switches. I didn't have to access the two blue wormholes at the bottom of the map to the sides. Or were they designed for other purpose?).
• The part with the Secret Switch is the most surprising for me. I was startled by the black bricks slowly appearing and eventually blocking the coins and the path. I didn't really understand their purpose - perhaps I had to pick up the coins quickly enough. And I did. But that was my second idea. My initial thought was to bring the Timebomb Grunt there and simply wreak havoc, clearing the path. How bewildered was I to watch my game slowly fade into the oblivion when I had tried to break these bricks They didn't have any logic applied, so the game simply crashed. Did that mean, that the player was somehow not supposed to get access to that area with the Timebomb Grunt? Or was it just overlooked?

I'm really surprised I'm the only one, who noticed these problems.
