Ah, warmth! But don't drink the water! This is pretty linear when you use the silver switches in the correct order.  And it doesn't matter what order you go through most of the warps. Saving is always prudent. Hope you like it.  Important Note: All right! Experiment succeeded, but the patient died. The Toob Grunt has to go from a Crumbling Tile to the Crumbling Tile with the Coin on it for the first of the four in the Water. So that Coin is alwayz counted. So I had Toob approach two of the three remaining Coinz from a Crumbling Tile and then to the Crumbling Tile with the Coin ... but reversed it for the last Coin. Now my Statz Page showz only one Coin 'missed' (meaning, acquired, but not counted due to a flaw in the Grunt game engine). So I am distributing this Custom Level today, and this information will go into the main post as a warning to prospective solverz. If the web hosting was working as it should, I would have a screen grab showing the route Toob has to take in order to acquire the Coinz and actually have them counted. As soon as web hosting workz as desired, there will be such an image available for Gruntzerz! Edit: A Walkthrough is now available for this Custom Level, pending approval by Oldone (if I can ever get it to her  ... e-mail blocking problemz)! |

" Most" of the time, it doesn't matter which Grunt goez through which Wormhole, she sayz. I seem to be having a run of bad luck, because I think I already found " most" of those where it does matter ... and SAVEd each time after my mistake(z). Back to the beginning ... for at least the third time! But I'm getting close, and have learned how to do thingz more efficiently with all of this practice.  It will probably be distributed today, or tomoorow at the latest (within 24 hourz).  |

I want to release this Custom Level ... I really do! But for some reason I cannot achieve a "PERFECT!" score, alwayz coming up three Coinz short of the total available. I have created an inventory list of every Coin, and have picked up every single one of them ... but (obviously) three of them are not being counted as 'acquired' for some reason. I suspect it has something to do with Crumbling Bridge Tilez (and me being too quick to leave the Tile for the next safe place) so am going to try one more time ... even if a Tile disappearz from beneath me (I will have SAVEd before each attempt), making sure that the Grunt completez his 'celebration' speech before moving on.

I bet those three missing coinz are on crumbling bridge tilz in the water ... don't try to get them from the water try from the bridge tilez |

Gaby probably meant from the crumble bridge tile. Note that the first of the 4 coinz you run into is picked up after getting onto the crumble bridgez. (that'z also why you don't miss 4 coinz) |

yap, that's it... you have to use the Crumbling Bridge Tilez in the Water as if they where solid tilez before you get the coin... |

As part of my process of trying to determine what it takez to achieve a " PERFECT!" score on this puzzle, I have completed the HTML "About", "Toolz", "Toyz", "Powerupz" and "Coinz" componentz, and am over halfway through the "Secretz" component. When Oldone providez the "Walkthrough" text, I should be able to quickly convert it to HTML and there will be an oddity with this puzzle: a Walkthrough available at the same time as the puzzle is distributed! (Hopefully, the solverz will only refer to the Walkthrough "when all else failz", and not merely use it to solve the puzzle. ) |

Whoa! I better get started on that walkthrough. So did you get the three coins GooRoo?? I'm sure Gaby's right. You have to use two crumble tiles to approach the coin. This happened to me before, and since then, this is always my solution. |

This happened to me before, and since then, this is always my solution. Okay, so once more, with feeling! I will start all over (for at least the tenth time!) and make sure that each of those Toobz Coinz are acquired from another Crumble Bridge Tile ... no shortcutz. BTW, I am updating the original thread with the time I have achieved without those three Coinz being counted. |

Make sure that most of the gruntz can get a tool. You should be able to get a shovel, spongegun, and gauntletz. They then get together to help barehandz out. (I was able to conserve both toyz to the end of the level ). |

Ha, whats not. I have all four at different places, only one has a shovelz. other four can only get so far in their different levels and then are stuck. In the first set of four Wormholez, two Gruntz land directly on their Tool, one landz a few stepz away, and the other remainz Bare-handed for a while. The three Gruntz who have Toolz returning from the first set of Wormholez will keep their Toolz until the very end ... when one tradez his in for the Warpstone. The fourth Grunt (who lovez to experiment with new thingz) on the other hand, changez Toolz as often as most people change their sockz. |

I am almost at the end of the level, Sponge, Gauntlez and Shovel, at the lava pit that have to be crossed by the 3 of them.
The straw gruntz got the wings and is helping with the bridges to the other islands
There seems to be only 2 paths avaiable as some of the tiles have not come up yet!!! Did I missed some trigger for these tiles?
Lovely level so far
Thank you for any help

I am talking about the lava pit before those 3 BHS, those are manipulated by the wing gruntz.
My problem is, that I cannot bring Shovel, Gauntlez and Sponge through the pit without the tiles that are hidden and I do not know how to raise them?
