There are many little townz on asteroidz in the deep reachez of space. Most are average ordinary placez with an average ordinary mix of citizens. There is one asteroid belt however, which at one time was so peace loving and carefree that there was no law enforcement. The only law they had was "No Weaponz of Any Kind are Allowed!"
Well, word got around and soon there were many corrupt individualz coming from all over the galaxy with weaponz of every kind imaginable. Murder and mayhem began to rule. Soon the townzgruntz were wiped out and with his dying breath, the captain of a small space station put out a call for help. Fortunately, it was picked up by the Sheriff in the town of Groan. Needless to say, he packed up his trusty gauntletz and everything else he thought he could possibly use and off he went to save the townz from evil.
Unfortunately, he had a little accident along the way and managed to lose all his luggage. Oh no! How will our fearless Sheriff overcome the malious influence that has permeated this sector of the galaxy without weaponz. Stay tuned for the exciting adventu. . . Oh wait! Sorry, I guess I got a little carried away! So--let's just play the game and find out.

This one sounds cool.  I liked the story. Let's wait for a space adventure form Oldone!  |

Thankz SwordGrunt, but don't expect anything too difficult. Basically it's pretty easy with only a few thinkerz thrown in. It was just fun to do.  |

Well, in my attempt to verify this one, I have come up with a problem: it seemz that one enemy Toob Grunt insistz on getting himself trapped on a Toggling Bridge Tile, preventing me from moving my Grunt past him to the exit of the mini-puzzle. Frustrated after several unsuccessful attemptz to keep that Grunt from stepping onto a Bridge Tile from which he was unable to step off, I moved on to another submission to try to get that one released. I have all of today, tomorrow and most of Monday to try this one out again, in hopes I can find the way around it. BTW, Oldone provided me with a Walkthrough (which I have neither read, nor uploaded ... yet) that may prove helpful in the problem I described above ... and if I am unable to get past it on my own after two or three attemptz, I will have to resort to using the provided 'crutch' ... the walkthrough.  |

I managed to avoid getting that Toob Grunt 'stuck', and have managed to complete this puzzle ... but not to a " PERFECT!" score. I missed one Coin and cannot see where I left one behind. I am afraid it may be buried, and the Gruntz the solver ever has to work with never have any Tool! So I believe I failed to entice an enemy Digger to dig up that Coin. Still, my failure to achieve a " PERFECT!" score is insufficient reason to delay distributing this puzzle. As with "RockyPyramidz" I will make this CL available for download, along with the Statz Page image, and the Walkthrough Oldone supplied to me, and will distribute the CLz I play-test this evening shortly before midnight, Pacific Standard Time. |

Being a barehand has never been so much fun! PERFECT in 28 minutez! I had plenty of toyz left over, so I used a pogo-stick to get rid of the stuck toob.  |

I have one complaint about this Custom Level ... two of the normal team memberz were completely missing, and one only showz up near the end of the puzzle! And even the Captain was without his usual 'sidearm'.  (removing tongue from cheek) Seriously, it was interesting to play a complete Quest without ever having a Tool in hand! This is truly a unique CL, with a unique 'theme' carried through from beginning to end in an entirely logical way. (Now, if I can only find that last Coin!) |

Yes! I got a PERFECT in 39:36! It was truly a very interesting level! As BattlezM and GooRoo said, being without any weapon couldn't have been better! It was very fun being a bare-hand Grunt. Ah, these AI Gruntz, they must be jealous of us. |

I'm glad you all liked the level. GooRoo, all the coinz are in plain sight or possibly slightly hidden behind a tank or crate. Are you sure you walked everywhere?  |

This has been a really fun level but now I've hit a snag. In the area with the red pyramids I am completely lost. And I got my gruntz in the red warp and then he was stuck there on the red switch.
It is a fun change to have no weaponz, kind of MacGyver like.

This sub-puzzle was probably the hardest IMO.  You have to run very quickly to the green hold switch to warp the gauntletz. |

I think the problem may have been in the area with several Hit & Runner Gruntz with Swordz, with lotz of Crumbling Bridge Tilez. Maybe I let a Grunt jump on a Tile with a Coin on it, and that Coin was lost.  |

I have a problem. One of the Toob Gruntz in the top part of the puzzle gets stuck on the toggle bridge because it keeps going up and down, and I can't get the coinz with him in the way. Is this part of the challenge?  |
