There are several opportunitez to go wrong (go wrong, go wrong) ... and I have found almost every one of them in my testing!  With only one SAVE slot, this is very difficult to play to completion, but I hope to have it ready for distribution to the Gruntz Fanz by 7:00PM Pacific Daylight Savings Time on April Fool's Day (no April Fool!!!). For those chomping at the bit for a new Custom Level to solve, the download link workz.  |

(re-)Starting on this CL in a few minutez, in hopez of being able to include it along with "LuckyU" and "GolfingWithGruntz" which will be distributed to the Gruntz Fanz today. Decisionz, decisionz ... do I go left first, or do I go right first (or maybe up or down  ) to do everything that must be done? |

first take the shovelz to do some digging, then kill the enemy that's standing on a switch... The problem is that there are far too many placez where if you forget to do something, there is NO WAY BACK to do the thing you missed! With only one SAVE slot to work with, missing one of those meanz re-starting from the beginning, and there is simply too d##n much digging and breaking and moving (Tile by Tile!  ) through Silver Pyramidz, which takez an inordinate amount of time. I would much prefer all of those Silver Pyramidz going down at once, allowing the solver to click (once!) on a destination ... my right mouse button has gotten all the (ab)use I care to give it for one day. I am giving up on this one, and sending it out with the other two, without my personal verification. |

With a fresh brain and rested fingerz, I finally managed to complete this one with a " PERFECT!". I also found a way to greatly speed up the movementz of Gruntz #3 and #5 ... perhapz intended by the Designer, perhapz one of those "as the solver solvez it" thingz. |

You use the Shovel to dig up all of the Moundz you can reach in the starting area, but do NOT step on the Secret Switch ... just yet. Before you do that, move south and squish the Gauntletz Gruntz ... an interesting thing happenz. Keep that in mind, when Grunt #1 travelz around the map. You will wind up baking four new Gruntz during the solution of this CL, and Gruntz #2 through #5 do thingz a bit differently. On the east and west edgez, one newly baked Grunt getz the Shovel, and another getz the Gauntletz. |

I am still confused Gooroo I have killed an enemy to get the shovel, dug every moundz, stepped on blackS, killed the South gauntlez enemy and went round the top edge and West and East corners, getting a toobz in the store. Did the silverP to the West SS, got toobz and went back to the centre again, killed the gauntlez enemy to get the gauntlez and did the silverP to the East SS Here is where I would need another toobz but only have a straw in the store and cannot see how I am going to get the straw to action the straw PP Or how I am going to suck any goo to create new Gruntz? ? Thanks for any more help |

Oh! I have been stupid AGAIN.
Did not notice the landing point at the corner for the toobz to get on.
Onwards to the next trouble. Thanks Gooroo and Gaby

I did pretty well on this one till I got to the very end with all the arrowz. I started out by testing who went where by just experimenting. And I saved a lot before taking a major step. So the start seemed simple logic after just a little wayz of experimenting. But darn if I must have missed stepping on two BOS. I probably dug them up (but not stepped on them) and then stepped on the OS and went on my way. Duh! So I'm backing up to go thru the OP again. Two of my gruntz made their way to their CPz but the other two are blocked by a BP. Oh well, love ur games enough to play thru twice anyway.  Edit: Got it done with perfect. Thanks for a great game Gaby. Lots of saves if I stepped wrong but it was pretty linear, if long, and a good game.  |

on your way to the SPz you get toobz... on the island you get the gooberzstraw... , the gooberzstraw has work to do as well...
