 I cannot get the table right, so forget it. I really didn't think I had another level in me this year, but . . . I was watching "The Wizard of Oz" as I have for the last 50 years. This is nothing like the Wizard, I'm not that clever, but you'll see the idea I got from the movie. This is a High on Sweets level. It's 80 x 80, medium density and medium difficulty. I have no idea how long it takes to play,  but we'll figure that out later. It is presently on it's first test. I'll try playing it again tomorrow to get a screen shot of the stats page. 
Edit: I just copied the code in the light green box of the 'Criteria' member, and pasted it into the top of your post. Then I replaced (most of) the question markz with the information you supplied. As you determine more of the information, you may edit this post (just as I am doing right now) and make corrections, etc. (And you may delete my annoying comments, as well. )

Thanks, GooRoo, for the lesson (again!). One of these days, I'll get the hang of using this thing. By the way, I have never found your comments to be annoying. I just hope that you don't get annoyed because you have to make them. |

I certainly hope that my problemz with the web host get resolved soon, so that I am (once again!) able to create folderz for each Custom Level. I am unable to properly store the Statz Page imagez, etc. for Custom Levelz, or walkthroughz ... and I may need a walkthrough for this one! I have given up on solving the CL before distributing it, and will be playing along with most of you Gruntzerz on this one. (I keep missing Blue Toggle Switchez  somehow, and (since I only have 1 SAVE area available) having to re-start because there is no way to go back and correct my mistake(z). ) I will go back and make my third attempt after dinner ... and I am being called to the table right now. |

Well, I have to give up on this one until after the family returnz from square dancing tonight. I placed a Grunt on what I thought was a 'safe' place while working with another Grunt, and an airplane flew over and dropped a 'CARE package' on the 'safe' Grunt just as I was SAVEing because the other Grunt was crossing a hazardous bridge. And I am only able to work with one SAVE area per CL right now, because I have ten CLz all 'in progress' at the same time.  So it is back to the beginning (for the fifth time!) in order to get the " PERFECT!" score. I have brought the Warpstone to the King once, only to find that I had missed one Secret (probably the reason I also missed one Toy) and ten (count 'em, ten!) Coinz.  |

This time I picked up all the Toolz, Toyz and Powerupz, and found all of the Secretz ... but only found 99 out of 100 Coinz!  And I doubt that I can (legally) get the 100th one without re-starting from the beginning ... because I doubt that I will find it hiding somewhere I can reach by back-tracking from the King'z Fortress. |

I am amazed (and pleasantly surprised!)! I thought that the 100 th Coin was in a Mound/Hole somewhere (that I wouldn't be able to reach), but it turned out to be in a cupcake very near the CheckPoint Switchez! So I now have a " PERFECT!" score only 4 secondz slower than the example supplied to me. Now I can go back into the original post and fill in the probable game time time for this CL.  |

Did you get all the coins in the jelly bean field? I kept missing the first one there, not too far from the stairs. And there's one at the top left corner of the area where you let out the shieldz that's also easy to miss.

Congratulations. Our replies crossed in the mail, but I am glad you didn't have to replay. I know how frustrating that can be.

I made it through the first run in 1:43, not too far off, but missed one coin, so I am going to replay today...I am sure it must be in the gumdrop field, just before the fort. Excellent job, oldone! And very tricky, and frustrating, having to get everyone over all those toggling bridgez!!! I even made it over the crumble bridge without a problem! I ended up with an extra grunt too, in the oven.
Gosh, you have become a terrific designer! Great work! Can't wait for your next exploit!

At the lake with the BOTS/crumbling bridge puzzle, if you merely stop at the BOT switch that is on land then you will miss the switch. There's a blue warp hidden there that will take you, ultimately, to a place where you can trigger the blue switch, albeit indirectly. But you must hazard life and goo to do it. |

nice level so far....i am still puzzling out the crumble bridge, so far i have figured out the 1st 3 BOTs....this is actually my 2nd attempt at this puzzle because we switched computers in the middle of playing the game.....so i had to reload everything ....and of course the new computer didnt know all my bookmarked places! (silly machines!)....however now that the game is loaded and the new monitor added ( i dont THINK there's anything else for hubby to add) i actually have a day off and back to puzzling this nice level out!

Thank you, Kat. And now that you have the first 3 BOTs figured out, the rest will be a snap! |

I have completed the level and found all 9 secrets but only 96 of 100 coins. On scanning the level i notice 4 holes i have missed in an area. All of these holes are around the Yellow Hold Arrow Switch (near a Secret button). Can someone tell me if there are 4 coins under these holes if i use my Spadez?
