We're back in Groan and all the staff at the mansion has been murdered. All the gold was also stolen. Fortunately, Gabriella wasn't killed, only locked in an attic closet but she had her trusty cell phone with her and she called her favorite detective. We're on the case now. The murderer will not be incarcerated, but he will be executed for a while. After a time, we just let him go. (I don't know about you, but I feel like one execution per grunt is enough.)

This CL is ready to be distributed ... but I have one of Gaby's and one of my own that I want to send out with this one. My CL has a minor problem because of the bug in Gruntz regarding X=0 and Y=0 Tilez, so I have to change a number of replacement Tilez to z, so the solver cannot be sent outside the map. I have an issue with Gaby's where I am unable to acquire a Coin, but Gaby sayz is can be done. I intend to distribute all three CLz tonight.

I am surprised no one has posted here yet. I took a look at this one and I am stuck right at the beginning. Do not know why I start with a spongegun it seems like after one task it is traded for tubz. This one sure could use a walkthrough. Is one comming in the future?

You will find that not only is that SpongeGun that Grunt #2 is carrying to start the puzzle unnecessary, but there are other Toolz that can be picked up only to achieve the "PERFECT!" score. Using the Tool for its obvious purpose (in the wrong place) would make the solution of the overall puzzle far more difficult and time-consuming. I wound up with eight Gruntz, but only five are actually required ... the extra three contribute nothing at all to the solution of the puzzlez.

I agree with 005601dj, could sure use a walkthrough. I must keep going wrong somewhere

[oldone]

Sorry it took so long for me to answer this. I must have missed it when it posted.

The dectective comes with a spongegun because Gabriella, who is locked in the attic, used her trusty cell phone to call for help, and he is responding. He always carries his gun when he thinks there might be danger. (See "A mystery in Groan")

A walkthrough will come shortly. I haven't had a chance to write it yet, but I'll get to it as soon as I have time.

[Carmen]

I will be looking forward to the w/t as well.....Got lost after getting the boxgloves Do I exchange these for the spongegun hidden behind a tree? I cannot see where to go or what to do next¿¿¿¿¿

Any help dear Oldone

[mommabird]

I am stuck in the top left corner. I found no way to get to the mounds in the middle of the green pyramids that has a blue warp. Also have not seen the warpstone. Have been everywhere else.

[oldone]

I just finished the walkthrough and I am e-mailing it to GooRoo. Good luck!

[Carmen]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH oldone

[GooRoo]

The Walkthrough has been uploaded to the web host, and linked in ... check the original post about this Custom Level.

[mommabird]

I started all over, using the walkthrough this time and did everything I did the first time but I still up in the top left corner with no way to get to the two mounds in the green pyramids. I could get through the up-down green pyramids but cant get over the black area to the other ones. Also there was no enemy thief and when I used the scroll nothing happened.

[GooRoo]

The scroll had no practical value (for me) ... I only used it near the end to resurrect three Gruntz in the vicinity of the enemy SpongeGun Post Guard Gruntz. It is necessary to use a team of two Gruntz (Gauntlez and Shovel) for the area containing several Rockz west of the Green Pyramidz.

[Carmen]

I cannot find the entrance to the area above the silver pyramids....I know that I have to lower the black s in the corner but cannot find the trigger for it? Any help, please? Thank you

[mommabird]

Huh? There is NO enemy spongegun? and I did the area with all the rocks west of the shed with just the shovelz gruntz. As I said in my las post, there is no enemy thief gruntz either and no way to get to were the warpstone is hidden.

[mommabird]

And Carmen: do you mean the section where the enemy hatguns are? If so there is a almost hidden mound of dirt right by the pond that had the welder kit

The enemy spongez were post guardz on plateauz .

[mommabird]

oh, well that enemy was way back near the beginning of the game, not near the end?

[Carmen]

Thanks momma, I could not find that mound

[mommabird]

Carmen, how are you doing now? I am still stuck near the end.
