Maybe.powerfulmind can "beta" test this level.I tested his map.

Hahah, what? It could be too boring for me.   More than that, I saw (without GooRoo'z reply to your post) that CL Designer definitely can't do both ALPHA and BETA testing. Heh, good joke...
BTW, I'm waiting patiently to... complaining about tight timing of my level, hahaha...

Can someone fix the map link ? It is not working.

[Tomalla]

Yup, the link's still dead.

My thoughts: there are few fine puzzles that require some thinking, but other than that, there are too many tight-timing and endurance-related puzzles (that's right, it had to be stated one more time, sorry powerfulmind  ). Haha, I wasn't very happy, when I had to pass the water bridge maze three times (can't remember, whether the third time was due to my mistake later on; nonetheless I couldn't call it entertaining). I also don't like levels that utilize the old dig-an-empty-hole-twice gimmick. It makes you then waste time on restlessly digging up all holes in the map effectively wasting time just to get some coins.

My first try wasn't so successful, I completed the level but missed warp letters A, R and P (and 3 coins, bundled with the A letter). I had to later look it up in the editor to find out how to get these. I know, I know, WARP letters are supposed to be secret by definition; but come on! The R letter was just too hard to get, even for the secret! Knowing the way to get the letter, I would see it more as an Easter egg than a required collectible (I'm talking about that one single map tile, triggered by the Secret Switch. No hints whatsoever and long initial delay make it, like, really hard to notice). And the P letter ... Really?  I guess I can't complain about the A letter that much, I could get it after all.

@Zazor5000, did you get the PERFECT score without looking for help? If so, I'm impressed 

I'll try to repeat the level to get the PERFECT score, but the thought of passing that water bridge maze yet again makes me feel funny 

PS. I've just noticed that's your first map. When I think of how tight-timing and frustrating my first maps were, I suddenly grow less frustrated by your CL   Just keep 'em coming!

Cheers!

Oh my, I was so bad, publishing it.   If you want to solve this level, I can help you by making some solutionz (screenshotz with commentz). You want some - PM me, also give me your e-mail.

Maybe you don't know the feelingz of players who played your frustrating CLz, so now you know it...   )on't say sorry because it was my first CL. I wanted to make something "special". And now you see my speciality, heh. 

See my Mini Impossible 1, another CL. There is a maze with Boomerangz, where you need to punch the enemiez to the Switchez... This fragment lookz good for otherz.   Maybe I should make some frustrating CLz and be more annoying to the Forum.

The link was not broken ... apparently I just never uploaded the file to the web host!

The download link in the Announcement part of this thread now workz.

The second attempt was fortunately a successful one 27 minutes. Could be less, but I goofed in one part and had to go back. Other than that - my OCD feels fulfilled  Anyone up for a challenge of beating the time?   Thanks for the "special" level, powerfulmind  Though if you want some inspiration for some frustrating levels, have a look at the "Zone" series by ILoveGruntz  Or WarpstoneDust, this one's by me (and guess what, it's one of my "firsts", full of tight-timing rigamarole! It's what people love I heard. No? ).

How do I get the coin which is on the girdle next to an egg. The tiles timing is such that the gooberstraw is unable to get it and the blue wormhole near the coin does not help.

[Tomalla]

Unfortunately the only legitimate way to get that coin is to step through the toggling bridges. And yes - the timing there is unforgiving.

And why exactly should anyone email you instead of replying here? Also - giving out your email address to the public is not really a wise choice.

I am now stuck at the part where 3 gruntz have to go through Silver pyramids. When first grunt goes through he triggers a SS so he goes into the area with sugar cubes and gets lots of coins. In this area there is a hole with a coin but I do not have a Spadez to get it. In fact Spadez gets stuck in another area after going through 3 silver pyramids and releasing the Boxing gloves gruntz. Am I doing something wrong?

[Tomalla]

If I recall correctly, the Shovel Grunt is stuck in the Boxing Glovez area only temporarily. Once the Secret Switch is activated, watch the immediate surroundings of the Shovel Grunt and you'll see a passage opening.

I have finished the Level but missed the letter P and 1 coin. To reach P there are orange pyramids in the way, but I cannot find a switch to lower them.

These aren't really "Orange Pyramidz" which you know from other Questz. The tile that represents them is programmed for a "breakable". Try a correct Tool!
