The original French title is "Pas Sans Mes Ailes".
On my computer, this Custom Level has a Pink border along the left and right sidez, and along the bottom (fill Tilez). Much of the (net) 60X68 non-filled area is loose and oddly shaped, so that there is a large unused open space in the lower right-hand corner.
Gruntzerz, do you want a new (smaller) version of this Custom Level? The 'puzzle' aspect is as least as good as several of the 'tryout' difficulty CLz that have been distributed ... it would be much better trimmed down and meriting "Density=Normal", and with enemy Gruntz having a bit more 'intelligence' and fighting spirit.
Now there are two download linkz in this thread, one for "My" (the original version) and the other for "Our" (the updated version). |

On one hand, yes, make it much smaller. On the other, it's good for really young kids to play. My grandkids always want to play gruntz ( they giggle at what the gruntz say) but then I end up spending most of the time showing them how.
*Thinks* Nah, trimm it severely. I've got other games for them.

Definitely needs trimming. It was a nice level for beginners though, or even for those of us who just want a break.

I just finished testing the trimmed-down version of this puzzle (42X39 now). All of the original mini-puzzlez are in the new version ... plus a few more. The difficulty level has also been increased somewhat ... but I was able to play it all the way through to a " PERFECT!" score without using a SAVE slot at all ... so it can't be that hard. All four WARP letterz to be found, and seventeen Coinz ... even a PowerUp! There are absolutely no EyeCandy or Voice logicz in it right now, and I will probably add three more Coinz to make an even twenty, as part of making the 'finishing touchez'. It was easier to remove all of the original logicz and EyeCandiez, etc., than to move them and re-calculate IDz, etc. BTW, has anyone noticed that an enemy Grunt wearing Gravity Bootz doez not leave behind a Goo Puddle when he expirez? I tried a couple of different AI typez, thinking that this anomaly was only happening to the type of Grunt in the puzzle originally. Not so ... I did not find any that left behind Goo ... but I did not try all sixteen AI typez. |

Have been playing "NotWithoutOurWingz" and have two wingz in the grunt machine with bootz at the ready, but I don't see another megaphone within reach to call for them and I must go through the checkpoint needing them. What am I missing??  |

Boot gruntz are the only tool in the gruntz game that do not leave behind a grunt puddle. Useful if you do not want the solver to suck extra goo in a level. A logical reason to why there is no goo is because it fallz into the bootz, which dissappear. |

Those too, but bootz are the only onez that don't explode . Also, did you know that when a kitchen slime touchez a grunt, it will turn him into a goo puddle no matter what tool he carriez?  |

It's the samee thing whit UFOz, and (strangely) the Hot Gridz. Yeah, really, hot gridz. You can see it if your Grunt come on a bridge tile just before it raisez, but the puddle disappear when the bridge tile lowerz.

you should go up to the north to the gravity bootz checkpoint ... ...the way to the south is at the end of the game... |
