I hope to get this one distributed this week-end ... perhapz tonight. If I have the energy after the baseball game, I will try to complete the testing so that it may be released. If I do not get it out tonight (Saturday the 16th), my next chance to work on it is about 28 hourz from now (8:00PM Sunday).

This is an interesting level. I'm not sure if there is a particular order in which to do the different sections, but was going along pretty good until I got to the part with the rolling balls, green switches, coinz and a spongegun. I just can't seem to get the timing down. There must be a secret to it? Also, I have the shovel right now. Does it matter in which order I go to the sections?

You trade the shovel back for your timebombz  (the onez near where you recieved the shovel). Before you do get timebombz back, look around in the pit for another hole to be dug up  . For the RB puzzle it'z very much like Ilovegrunt'z slot machine in Kareoke Bar. Except this one is much tougher. It'z all in the timing, watch the RBz very carefully, when they are 1/2 way to being completely syncronized, save. When they are syncronized, hit the switch, if done properly all the ballz will go and toggle the switchez. Do not pick up the spongegun until you have a clear path in to the fort. |

I actually designed the slot mashine to e tougher, but then I discovered that a small bug sometimes messed up the balls timing. So I made it less sensitive to this bug, making the puzzle a lot easier as I did.  |

I dug up a hole in the area where all the timebomberz are. There was a rock which was broken, but nothing under it. Was there supposed to be something there? Anyway, I don't know where to go from here. The bottom area with the arrows and 2 holes will only get me into the holes. Perhaps, I have to get to another area to fix that problem? This is tough!!

After spending several hours on this, I figured out where the 3 secrets were. Had to cheat to get to two of them as I could not (and believe me I tried) get through the UFO, or the rolling ball to the ? switch. Anyway, I got to the fort but for the life of me can't figure out how to hit the two black switches. The only bomber (from the beginning) will not move. No more secrets for the enemies that I can find. So what's the secret?  |

Hee hee ...those are all of the tricky partz in this level After spending several hours on this, I figured out where the 3 secrets were. Had to cheat to get to two of them as I could not (and believe me I tried) get through the UFO, or the rolling ball to the ? switch. Anyway, I got to the fort but for the life of me can't figure out how to hit the two black switches. The only bomber (from the beginning) will not move. No more secrets for the enemies that I can find. So what's the secret? For the UFO, you can't get through it, but do you see someone else that might ? For the secret switch, it'z in the timing, no trick (what RB , it'z not supposed to trigger the SS). As for getting the bomber to move, attack him with timebombz in the direction you want him to move. When he lightz the match, step out of the way. |

I'm still trying to finish this level. I am down at the bottom where I had to cross a rolling ball to a UFO area and back. I went to the right to continue crossing the red bridge and am stuck. The first green bridge tile is not up so that I can cross the rest of the bridge. I must have missed something. Can't go back and can't see anyway out. I guess I need to find a blue switch for that one tile, but the only possible one I see, I can't get to. Please Help!! By the way, did anybody finish this level with a PERFECT without cheating???

There is someone who can trigger the switch for you . You do have to dispatch him carefully though or else the bridge tile won't be raised. |

I have reached a point where i find a Pale Yellow/Green colored enemy gruntz with Gauntletz. What is the siginificance of this gruntz? It would be a good idea if someone could list the different colors of enemy gruntz and what they siginify. I tried to search for such information on this site but could not find it.

You might try looking here for information about enemy Gruntz. As much as possible, any reference to the enemy Grunt being described is in the color of the Grunt. Short answer: Green Gruntz are either 'dumb' chaserz, or 'smart' chaserz; if one chasez a Grunt carrying a Sword ... it's a 'dumb' chaser!!! (A 'smart' chaser will ignore any Grunt with a Tool stronger than theirz.) |

That grunt is classified as a scroll grunt. He will try to give your grunt a scroll, and then smack him immediately. you need a toy to distract him as you read the scroll. (which spell will do you best? ) |

[...] if one chasez a Grunt carrying a Sword ... it's a 'dumb' chaser!!! (A 'smart' chaser will ignore any Grunt with a Tool stronger than theirz.) Not always... a Welder, Bomb or Sword Smart Chaser will still attack and chase Sword Gruntz.  |

| Tool | Hit points | | Welder | 20 | | Bomb | 20 | | Sword | 10 |
All of them as strong or stronger than a Sword Grunt, so a Smart Chaser will chase after him. That does not contradict what I said, it supportz it. (But I should have said it is probably a 'dumb' chaser.) |

We, players, consider Sword the strongest tool, since bomb kills the attacker too and welder takes quite a lot of time to re-load stamina, as well as he can easily miss the target.(Long-ranged tool) |

There is a way for a Grunt with a Bomb to survive his kamikaze run ... if he has the Invulnerability Powerup. But enemy Gruntz do not have that option (thankfully!). BTW, I believe that a Smart Chaser with TimeBombz will also chase every enemy Grunt.  |

View the map!
(which was wrong) and I believe it was intended to be either #006 
(which I made it) or #007 
. No other changez were made by me.

It'z all in the timing, watch the RBz very carefully, when they are 1/2 way to being completely syncronized, save.

(don't bother with the 2 holez, there are no 'magic shovelz' in this level).
