I managed to bring the Warpstone to the King, but I missed one Toy and something like 7 or 8 Coinz, and 3 Secretz ... in 63:12. When I have some (really!) free time, I will have to try to solve this one again, in order to get the "PERFECT!" score!
BTW, thanks, piaaf, for providing a means to get (back) into the Rolling Rock/SuicideBomberz area, after making it past all of those craziez! I noticed one Black Pyramid still standing proud and tall, and thought I was going to have to start all over again! Major bummer!!! But you gave me a relatively painless way to correct my mistake, in going through that adrenaline rush the first time! (I must have had "Gruntz solver'z blindness", to have missed one Black One=Time Switch on the first pass!)

Your Shovel Grunt is standing almost in the correct place to start. I only had to make two turns; the wrinkle piaaf (designer) put into the sub-puzzle is that you have to wait an extra bit of time before you can safely cross the last Lava Geyser.

I just checked the path with GLE, and there IS a safe path (hum... I said safe  ?) without the need of waiting extra time at the end. If you want the solution, it is here but I bet you won't need it ! PS : thank you for playing my level !!! :-) |

Nice level. To get a perfect you must search everywhere as many things are hidden very well.

One of my questions was about that lava maze, thank you for giving us a way to get through-whew!
The other is what to do at the east side lava pool with the wingz. I flew my grunt over to get the coin, and just about got killed getting the shovel...so how do I kill that pink swordz without time to get that keg of zap cola? And what about the four swordz standing on the other side of the barrier?

Love this level, but I can never find all the secrets. The best I can ever do is 4 and this time (it's been a while) I only did 3. Is it possible to get a little hint? (Also, WalkingBear, use your tornado power to blow all those enemy swordz into the holes and thus out of the way.)

WalkingBear, you have to keep your wingz gruntz outside the holes and use the whirlwind to knock the single swordz gruntz into a hole. Then you can go in there and do the same with the other four swordz before taking the shovel.

Well, I started over. G-man says many things are hidden very well--I say they're invisible. I'm sure I walked over every tile, including the holes I filled in, over all the spikes, and under every tree. I only found 5 secrets (obviously I missed something in 2 1/2 hours of play). The way to the east and west coins have totally eluded me. Piaaf, please help!

Hello everyone ! I'm very sorry to have you wait and wait. Actually, I had very little time the last weeks and couldn't answer. I'm also sorry I didn't write a walkthrough for this level yet. There are a few reasons. - As I've already said, I have little time. - English is not my motherlanguage. And I understood that foreign languages were not welcome on this forum (if I understood well, it's a matter of law). So it takes me a lot of time to write in English. (Even the title didn't pass censorship) But I heard you, and I'm going to help you as well as I can. Don't hesitate to ask me about anything else. (only about my level of course ! ) Actually, I didn't realize that you could kill the 4 swordz this way. The 4 areas are totally independent and you may play them in the order you like. About the secrets, a few hints - There are one secret switch and one red warp per area. - It's no use walking everywhere ! There's always a little clue (maybe tiny  ) - You don't need to activate any secret to get the coins at the east corner in the north area. - You need gauntletz to activate some secrets - Is the keg of Zap-Cola(®  that my grunt is about to pick-up so important ? - the closest, the safest !!! (but not everytime  ) I think, I'm going to write a walkthrough, and I hope I'll release it before christmas. (perhaps I'll write it piece by piece) Thanks for playing my level have a nice play ! Piaaf. |

Thanks, Piaaf, for taking the time to write. Your hint about the zap cola was great and it worked for the southern portion of the puzzle. I got 7 of the 8 secrets, but I still can't find the red warp in the eastern section. I left the zap cola there also hoping it would make a difference, but it didn't seem to. Maybe now I'll wait for your walkthrough. Unless someone else knows the answer . . .hint, hint. Great level!!

If you found the southern red warp, you should easily find the eastern one. Think about the title !!!

Thanks again, Piaaf! I had given up, but since you said I should find it easily, I figured I'd better go back one more time. And since I knew I had covered every inch of green ground, there was only one more place to go. Thank you, I got a perfect.  |
