First page of Lawyer Grimley's diary: After my Grandpa and Grandma Gruntz died, it fell to me to settle their estate and make it ready for sale. I hadn't been back to the old homestead since I was a child and I had many fond memories of summers spent eating Grandma's rhubarb pies and lounging around the pool with my friend Gabrielle. So it was with great dismay that I arrived to find the place sadly run down and overgrown, and on top of that, there appeared to be squatters living in the house. Ah well . . . I see I've got my work cut out for me. |

IMHO it is more... you need 3 to satisfy the checkpointz near the fort and 2 on the PSz... it makes 5...  |

But the solver only has two, at any time ... so there must be a way to 'entice' some enemy Grunt 'help'.

The player has the potential to bake 4 gruntz and resurrect 1 (even more if they avoid sucking the goo...up to 5 or 6 resurrectz. There is even plenty of health for them.) there are two goober strawz made available, so the solver can change toolz.
Plus, the fort has 3 checkpoint switchez, no way with only 2 gruntz.
There should be 6 survivorz on the statz, the orange puddle in the metal pyramidz must be resurrected.

Hmmmmm? Now how did I manage to achieve a " PERFECT!" score with only two Gruntz?  Does everyone else have a different version than I do? |

Sorry GooRoo, but maybe the CRS is kicking in. IIRC, there must be at least 5; 2 on PMGS and 3 to run to the attic and hence to the CPS.

Are the rest of the Statz I have posted for this CL also wrong, then? Are there more (or less) than 101 Coinz, etc.?

Hey, I just noticed something!  The current statz displayed are for ThisAintNoVacation before I made the note of there being more than one powerup.  Aha! So I stored the Statz Page image for another CL in the "SettlingEstatez" folder. I'll have to re-play this CL to get a good screenshot, and then revise the original post Statz ... tomorrow. (My eyez are too heavy to do anything more on the computer tonight.  ) |

I am stuck trying to send a RR over a Bots and then over a ? switch but cannot see what the ? does that is any good for my gruntz to get out of the area? ? Anybody has a kind of simple guide that would help me to play this level, please? It can be sent to me on a private posting or by email Thank you so much |

I am stuck trying to send a RR over a Bots and then over a ? switch but cannot see what the ? does that is any good for my gruntz to get out of the area? ? It is very subtle ... a Construction Pyramid (#302) near the Yellow Hold Switch is changed to a Foundation Tile (#301), providing an exit to the east. It is up to the Designer of each Custom Level to provide the walkthrough for it. IdleAl wrote walkthroughz for several 'orphaned' CLz, and other people have also written a few for CLz they did not create. Granted, the 'Easy' (and especially, 'Tryout') CLz hardly need walthroughz, but it is nice to have them available for those people who have just discovered Gruntz, and have not had the solving experience of more experienced Gruntzerz. Some Designerz have habitz that give solverz a pretty good idea of what to expect in one of their CLz, which speedz the solving process somewhat (for experienced Gruntzerz) so that their CLz may be solved successfully without a walkthrough ... but the 'newbie' should have the assistance available. (The last few CLz I have designed and released do not have walkthroughz. ) |
