I was building this level around the time I had left the forum (years ago). It was almost finished but then it became a victim of a logic error that prevented the map from launching. I couldn't figure out the problem without having to remove all my newly added objects, so I stopped working on it.
I recovered the level last month and even managed to fix the issue, but I'll have to redesign it because it's completely missing EyeCandies and some parts are messy and weird in general. I'm putting it on the forum to make sure that I'll finish it eventually (edit - it's done).
The original title of this level was "Lost Five" - based on the fact that the game starts with 5 Gruntz (also the map is 55x55 tiles and there used to be 5 Secretz as well). I changed it to reflect an idea that is the most noticeable in the level - the Warpstone Grunt in the middle island has to go through numerous pyramid "gates" to get to the king. Look ahead and remember to move forward with all of your Gruntz as they depend on each other!

Thank you for providing a Gruntziclez graphic set Quest beginning with the letter 'L'!
Glad to see that someone has paid attention to my suggestion for naming future Questz!!!

Finally the work on this map has come to an end. Don't be discouraged by the beginning - getting every secret at the start is probably the most difficult part of this level.
...and if something bad happens to your Toob Grunt, know that it's not a bug - it's a feature (AKA part of the puzzle).

I get the Red warp and end up with Springz. So do I have a Spring and Bare-handed gruntz(after losing gauntletz) to stand on the Purple switches?
I free 3 of my other gruntz; is there a significance on the position of the Red pyramids.
The enemy bomber in the start next to Spadez...wht's his role?

Well, I don't see any other solution here; you stand on the Purple Switchez with whatever Gruntz you have.
There are only 3 Red Switchez in the level, all in plain sight, and no way to control the Rolling Ball after you leave the area. That should be enough information for you.
The Red Bomber is just a remainder from the process of remaking this level. There was a Grunt in that area so I left him (although he used to have a shield). He doesn't serve any important purpose.

I am really stuck now because of the Orange Switches. The first one is next to 2 hold switches - for an Arrow and a Bridge tile.
The Springs is there but he can't press the switch as it is down.
The second Orange switch is near a CP and the Rubber ducky get's to it. If I do not press it then Springz is stuck with a Magnifying glass and the Orange bricks are up. By pressing it I release the Springz but then block the path for Timebomb later.
Meanwhile, Gauntletz just cannot get through all those tilez as there are is no way for him without getting killed; so we definitely need Time bomb. But it is impossible to get to it; only was is though Springz but then Timebomb has no way to come back due to the Orange pyramids blocking the way!!!
I have really tried many times but just can't get through...a Hint will be extremely useful.
And where is the BOTS for the first black pyramid blocking way to the King?

The BOTS for the first row of pyramids (counting from bottom) is the one pressed by your newly-baked Toob Grunt, so you should've activated it long ago. If you mean the first row of pyramids counting from top, it is activated by the BOTS next to the lone Welder. I'm afraid that you've chosen a VERY different order of actions than I planned (and I didn't actually add a way to prevent that  ). Hints are as follows: - The blue wormhole above the "W" letter is reserved for the Toob Grunt. - Wait with activating the QMS (that was meant to be a final secret) until the end of the level. |

The first row of pyramids is down. I was talking of the second row and now I have found that the BOTS for it are next to the RB and 2 newly baked gruntz near Red pyramids. I used the BW above W for the Springs...and now I get the mistake I have made. Let me go to a previous save! |

I'm sure you can figure that out yourself - your Gruntz don't have many directions available to move! By the way, could you please edit your message so that it um... doesn't reveal the secrets? (the quote also) Ok...I have edited it! |

Almost at the end now...How do I get 3 gruntz for the purple switches...I only have 2. Tilez has no way to return as there are one-way arrows.
Also cannot get the coin which is near the point where Bomber and Warpstone gruntz start.

You don't have to enter this area with 2 Gruntz in the first place - that's the trick!
And for that coin... it had to be collected at the beginning. You don't have control of the Red Pyramidz anymore, and probably can't return because of the Orange Pyramidz either.

I haven't written a walkthrough yet, but if you tell me where you're stuck, I should be able to help.

Everything seems to be going fine so far. Once your Toob Grunt presses the Orange Switch, he should swim to get to the blue wormhole (above the 'W' letter and next to the fortress). It will teleport him to the Spygear.
All Pyramids leading to the king will unlock one by one as you progress through the level.

After you go out of the water, drink a zap cola can and walk into the wormhole, your (former) Toob Grunt will join the Gauntletz and take the Spygear, so you'll be able to see brick colors. You can only get the Timebombz later.
The Secret Switch is best used at the end of the level, after you are already standing on the Purple Switchez or so.
