Thank you, @grosserfluss for the great confirmation of the play-ability of Blaze's newest submission!
I will finish up the Announcement, update the affected indices and distribute the Quest to the Gruntz Fanz ... probably today.
And the thread will be renamed for the various references.

This is taking a while, because the Designer insists on ZIPping files and the source storage site requires setting up an account to use Zip Extractor on it. So a file such as the Statz Page image (in ZIPped form) is several times the size it should be, and requiring extra work to actually use it. I will try to store everything on the Forum's web host and provide PERMANENT (sort of) links to them that won't go away as long as I live.
I am in the process of updating the Announcement (to my standards) with additional images for Toolz/Toyz/Powerupz/etc. I plan to capture the video walk-through that @grosserfluss has provided and store it in the Forum's web site as well.

Listen I'm very sorry about using ZIP when you told me not to. I promise I won't do it again with any of my future levels.

I still need to store the WWD and newly created folder for the puzzle to the web host. Since I have no (working) CD-ROM/DVD drive attached to this laptop, I will have to "SneakerNet" to my near death laptop (with a functioning drive) to load the puzzle, capture the "View the map" image (and possibly actually play it!) to get to the Statz Page image.

There are now Statz Page and "View the map" images in the Announcement. In my play of the puzzle, one Sword is only necessary for the "PERFECT!" score, as I could bypass it completely.
What remains to be done is the update of the indices, promote it into the High Rollers Custom Board and to send it out to the Gruntz Fanz.
Good job, Blaze! IMNSHO your BEST creation.

Good job, Blaze! IMNSHO your BEST creation. Thank you, but I'm ashamed. Medium is the diffuculity I was going for, guess I literally can't make levels are a medium level. Ah well, I will keep trying.

Which part of this level is considered so difficult that Easy+ was chosen instead of Easy?

Definitely NOT just point and click ... most solvers will SAVE before pressing the QMS in order to have an idea of what Grunt to place where ... and what order to do things.

I agree that the Secret Switch is far away from the tiles it controls. However, keep in mind the effects of that Switch last for full 5 minutes (300 seconds). That should be more than enough to reach it from anywhere on the map and deal with the sword enemy. And with the lack of hazards in this level you can actually just point and click from the switch to destination and arrive there. Am I missing something?
