I tried to make an easier level this time, focused around toyz (and white Gruntz), and using some of the toolz that I didn't include in my previous questz.
I discovered that I'm not really into easy gameplay and I didn't have many original ideas, but the level is finished and I'd want to release it (next year, that is).

Also the level title, although chosen long ago, is a nice coincidence to the day that we have today.

I'm willing to betatest again. If the difficulty is Easy, then it definitely shouldn't take as long.

The Designer really wanted to get this one released, so he gave me considerable help in gathering the elements I needed to once again be able to play Gruntz, and create "View the map!" images.

I had a lot of fun solving this level. First of all it's very easy on the eyes and it's got a professional look to it, with interesting and natural layout rather than the usual cubic sections that would each contain a completely separate puzzle within them. It's got varied and well-placed EyeCandies too, some of which help make the secrets not too obvious.

Some really interesting ideas in it too despite it being easy. At least prior to this, I hadn't seen warps and toys (or tools) on one and the same tile, and I was genuinely wondering what was going to happen when the grunt stepped on one of those tiles.

The only thing I would've done differently is slightly decrease the speed of the one toggle bridge by the sink, as it somewhat feels out of place in the level despite it being a secret area.

I admit that there shouldn't be any timing sections as tight as 667 milliseconds to pass a bridge tile at "Easy" difficulty level. It's not required for level completion but still, I don't know why I left it like this when I designed the map. Anyway, I created a second version (PartyTime!!.wwd) which fixes this issue, and can now be downloaded from the first post. I also increased the time window for the Secret Switch and the Secret Teleporter.

Looking at this level again thanks to your video, it doesn't seem as bad as I remembered it. Maybe I should have another go at designing an easy level in the future.
