The game time on this is for the BETA test test version. There is now a SpotLight in the version ready for BETA testing (it takes 60 seconds to make a full revolution). Depending on how accurate the clock is in your playing platform, you will have a constant ticking in time with a clock (or your heart beat, at the start of the puzzle). You should be in constant motion in the Spade section, and pick up Health frequently, and Coinz only en route to your next destination. I experimented with a faster Rolling 8 Ball and trimmed down the solution's time. Be patient in the Heart's area ... your taskz are completed much faster than the R8B is moving. Take the opportunity to 'look ahead' at what is coming up next.

Just for Bjarni (Blaze the Movie Fan) ... new puzzlez with the same namez (in no particular order):

• Gruntz, Start Your Enginez!
• Spyz Like Us
• Brick Layerz Have All The Fun
• Now Who Put That Warpstone Piece There
• Guardz! There's A Thief On The Premisez!
• Just Wing It
• Swordz Akimbo
• Keep Your Eye On The Ball
• You Should Never Play Near Electrical Outletz
• The Big Split Up
• Come Back With A Friend
• Golf Anyone V2 (there was already a "Golf Anyone")
• The Final Battle

There would have been more unique puzzlez with the same namez as the 'Standard' onez, but too few Designerz took part, and I took the easy way to fill out the rest of the 32 puzzlez.

The original reason I started this project is I believed there were avid Gruntz Fanz with the ability to replace the maps in the GRUNTZ.REZ file, creating (in effect) Gruntz version 1.2.

I would say that this is GooRoo's best level in this V2 series. I like how the level is divided into four secitons, each being card deck symbols (spades, hearts, diamonds and clubs). However, i would say that the first part was unnecesarily confusing. I was trying to figure out what the blue switches did and if it had any meaning alongside with the springz you get at the start. It turns out that the springz was only used to walk only three tiles to get the shovel, and the blue switchez were there for the shovel grunt to press all of them and get the coin. You can just grab the springz at the end of the section and get the coin there, skipping the entire part. That's what i did in the video because it saves a lot of time and effort (doing it the intended way can make the ball outrun you and fail the level).

In the hearts part, you have to wait for the ball to slowly revolve around the section so you can get to the third part. The diamonds part was pretty empty, only including the two secrets which are in plain sight.

The second springz part between the third and the fourth part was hard to pull off. You can see that i was able to succeed with only miliseconds.
As i said before, it's an overall great level. Thanks GooRoo.
