As in Pac Man 2, 3 & 4, the Coinz are more like obstaclez, than prizez. You need to clear out the pathwayz, in order to get the real work done ... acquiring twelve Goo Puddlez! You need to bake three new Gruntz to assist you in completing the task of getting the Warpstone Piece to the King. Five enemy Gruntz may provide a bit of a challenge.

No 'takerz' for BETA testing on this one, or Pac Man 2 or 3, so I will distribute them on my own testing tomorrow the 26^th.

So you made a level based on Pac-Man for every single area in Gruntz? That's interesting.

Maybe I will try one of those out. But I only wanna try about the best one.

So my question is.

Which of the Pac-Man levels is the best one?

This one is the closest to the arcade game, in terms of difficulty ... the strength of the enemy Gruntz, etc. The only truly hard part, though, is acquiring the Warp Letter ... and survive. Everything else is merely cleaning out the trash (Coinz) in order to be able to move about most efficiently when battling or avoiding the enemies. Three Gruntz will come after you as soon as you are within their viewing range (which is most of the map), so you need to create "elbow room" as soon as possible.

It didn't work because the destination was (temporarily) a Death Tile. Gruntz refusez to send a Grunt to a Death Tile ... in this case, a raised Pyramid. Just a minor "gotcha" intended to trap the unwary solver.

I must admit this is a very creative level, I thought just finding the red warp would lead me to beat the level easily, of course it wasn't that simple.

I don't know when I'll get around to beating the level I will try it out some time.

And no I won't do a let's play on it as I retired my let's play series.

In my own opinion, the only thing 'creative' about this (or any of the (Ms) Pac Man) puzzle(z) is being as true as possible to the playing field of the arcade game, in a Gruntzy environment. But I quickly came to the conclusion that having 240 Coinz was ... just a bit much. And since there can be no score achieved for defeating enemy Gruntz, or for picking up the 'fruit', it falls short of the arcade game. I was one of those who "broke the machine" ... scoring over 2 (or was it 3) million points, and having the screen display go bonkers on me, with me still having a Paccer to play with. I would have loved to have been able to provide different challenges, ala 9-key no blue time patterns ... but Gruntz cannot be tuned in that way.
