The opening sub-puzzle in this Custom Level is perhapz the toughest part of the whole thing! Once you are able to satisfy the first CheckPointSwitch, it becomez much easier for you. Just remember the title of the CL, add in the rest of the story'z title ... the meaning will become quite clear after a while.

Thank you IdleAl, it seems that I'm not a good fighter... although I successfully solved several CL ... In that first sub-puzzle, you need to be a bit of 'fighter' and 'lover' ... "I will convert you!", followed by "Peace, brother". |

I FINALLY did it! I had tackled this level several times and couldn't get past the hard part at the start. So I just came back to it over the weekend and finally got it. Even got a perfect. Great level except for the beginning.

I admit the first part was a little hard but I got it after about 10-15 tries so it wasn't that hard really to figure out. It was really just thinking of the order to convert and trying that, that did it. Think I was lucky, mostly, because there have been spots in easier games that I just couldn't latch on to. However I have stumbled now. My three questions: (1) Is it necessary for the SG to suck up every goo, even the killed enemies? I've got about fifteen or so grunts and still can't get that straight in my head.  (2.) I've only found three PS'z to stand on to get the pyramids down around the king. How many does it take?  (3.) And most important to me; The ? switch in the upper rt corner? I can't find what happens when you stand on it. Could you point out the general vicinity? Thinking it has to be on the center island but nothing seems to happen wherever I look. Stuck on this.  Thank you. |

If you already have 15 gruntz, you shouldn't need to suck more goo. But itz alwayz best to suck as many as possible. There are many PSz to be stood on, possibly 8-10 (I can't remember ). My advise is to explore around as much as possible to find all of them (P.S.- all of the PSz you passed by in the beginning need to be stood on to lower the PPz around the fort). The secret switch in the NE corner will help get you back to those PSz in the beginning, it is best left for last. |

Activating the Secret Switch in the northeast generatez Arrowz pointing to the far west. I believe I had enough Gruntz that I had a Gruntz as far west as he could go before I activated the Secret Switch. The timing was intended that a single Grunt could do everything ... but why take a chance, with a sequence that long? Activate it once, to see what it doez, then restore and place Gruntz where they will do the most good, and activate it again 'for real'.

Oh, I could just  . And scream a little too. I could not get the secret switches done so I started over. (felt like I had missed something.) I counted the PS'z and didn't take as much care this time to kill and collect all the goo puddles. I ended up with the correct number of gruntz. I thought... Bad GooRoo, Baddd!!  Finally, after losing much, much, brain matter but gaining a headache, I read the walkthrough for the ? switches (don't like doing that at all). Now I'm short by 1/4 goo for enough gruntz. The pain and disgrace of it!  Well, off to try again. Thankz to BattlezM for his helpful advice on the ? switchez. Edit: GooRoo and I must have been typing at the same time. Just saw his post. Thankz GR. The walkthru helped too. It's really nice and this is really a great game. Everyone had a hard time at first but the ending is what is doing me in. You know, I never saw any arrowz after standing on that switch but sure will look avidly for them now. Thankz again. ........................................................................................................................................................ Yay! It's done. Good game. I really liked it. Caution to other players: You must have the springz grunt in the proper place for the ending. You can't move him away after the CP to place him anywhere else. This is why I couldn't get the ending to trigger. |

Here again ... I am playing the Custom level Ali Baba, and pass the first part, Gruntz and achieve my three, to leave the center, but we need to continue: Calimete 1, a duck and a shovel, and I calimete and duck but I lack the blade. So there I gruntz three in the oven and I do not just absorb another enemy, in order to complete the room, but I do not have any outreach to at least that will come to another area, And for that we need to get the shovel gruntz area of the king. The blade realized in the area of the king, but can not understand how the sack gruntz Who has the shovel area of the king, because I see that they are doing just leave there, if the glove gruntz, Exploding the brick breaks, but if I do, then I lose gruntz glove, And I can not get more gloves at any level, except that the scope of this gruntz with wings, but after you get there, you can not get off, and if we do not get more gloves I can not complete the level. I hope you understand me, because as you know use translations and if not what is meant here explico.ojala you can help me pass that level. Click here if you need help. Click here if you need help. Click here if you need help. Have a happy rest of the day  |

I used my (converted) Boomerang Grunt to turn all of the enemy Gruntz on the western edge of the map into Goo, which my (converted) GooberStraw Grunt sucked up. Toob led the way into the next area (short one Thief, turned into Goo by Boomerang) and had his Toob stolen by one Thief Grunt after another, while Sword and GooberStraw turned them into Goo and added them to the Goo Well. I then disposed of two enemy Thief Sword Gruntz, one using "hit and run" tactics, the other by donning the ReactiveArmor. I am now at the point where Grunt will enter the area in the south central part of the map ... after Sword Grunt disposes of any enemy Gruntz he can reach.

I was a bit slower today than I was when I first designed and tested this Custom Level, but there is now a Statz Page image, proving that a " PERFECT!" score is possible. Always look ahead to see what Tool(s) may be required. There was only one instance where a Grunt had a Tool, and had to exchange it for another one. There will be plenty of Swordz lying around, after you dispose of the Gruntz that held them; I had one Grunt (who already had a Sword) go around and pick every one of them up, so that it would not be possible for a Grunt carrying a required Tool to "stumble over" a Sword, and pick it up. The same is true for a Shovel ... have one of your (two!) Shovel Gruntz pick up a Shovel left behind when an enemy is turned into Goo. And most important: pay attention to Holez that you cannot reach (now) ... and keep a Shovel nearby for the time when the Hole/Mound can be reached. I had Shovel Gruntz too far away from the King's Fortress at the end, and had to replay in order to get the Warpstone. |

Hello everyone ...
To see who can help ...
I am playing the custom level ALIBABA,
But I remain stuck, I can not continue, because I only have three gruntz in the oven and three-quarters of another, osea I lack quarter to complete the gurntz number 4, so that you fill the check point area of King and can draw all gruntz smoothly.
Three gruntz I can not get the gruntz sholvez the area of the king, without sacrificing the gruntz glovez, and if the gruntz glovez dies, I can not finish the level.
I was able to achieve the first part of this puzzle, the second attempt, and it's hard to watch this first part,
But now I can not continue to not get the shovel to move to the other side of the game, and I have the gruntz calimete and gruntz duck, I need the shovel. Digame I do ...

... at last... I made it to the first checkpoint.... WOW...
...
(2.) I've only found three PS'z to stand on to get the pyramids down around the king. How many does it take? 
(3.) And most important to me; The ? switch in the upper rt corner? I can't find what happens when you stand on it. Could you point out the general vicinity? Thinking it has to be on the center island but nothing seems to happen wherever I look. Stuck on this. 
Thank you.
