| Gruntz (Video Game) | comment |
Gruntz is a strategy/puzzle PC Video Game by Monolith Productions, published in 1999.The gruntz are a bunch of small creatures seemingly made of clay. They strayed from home, thanks to a mysterious portal that brought them to unknown worlds. Now they want to find a way back. Only YOU can help them make it through the hellish puzzles, hordes of enemy gruntz and downright Malevolent Architecture that await them.The only way to successfully complete a level is to find a Warpstone piece - which is the only thing that can bring gruntz back home - and get someone to carry it to the fortress, where the King is waiting. There are no problems with some of your other gruntz being left behind (or worse), but you DO have to be careful, lest it becomes unwinnable. Thankfully, the levels are littered with random weapons, bizarre tools and fancy toys that will help your gruntz deal with various obstacles. | |

Cherry Tapping: Some of the fights amount to this if everyone has no tools or crap ones. This can also happen in a fight against a Tool Thief, who steals your gruntz' tools and uses them against them. | |

Easy-Mode Mockery: The "Easy Mode" disables world-specific instant death hazards and crumble bridges while reducing the damage your gruntz take and slowing down the rolling ballz. It also removes the Warp Letter and the hidden teleporter switch from the level. Additionally, if you need to use those hazards to kill tough enemy gruntz, things will get more difficult for you. | |

Death from Above | |
| Gruntz (Video Game) / int_1c398324 | comment |
Death from Above: The birds in "Trouble In The Tropicz" drop giant bird poop that kills any gruntz in a 3x3 radius. The aircraft in "High On Sweetz" drop exploding packages that kill any gruntz in a 3x3 radius. The spotlights in "High Rollerz" force your gruntz to sing if any of those spotlights catches them. Since your gruntz can't sing properly, a trapdoor opens up underneath them and removes them from the game. The UFOs in "Gruntz In Space" have two searchlights that instantly melt any gruntz that come into contact with them. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Using Timebombz as a weapon can score an instant kill. However, the enemy can easily move out of the way in the few seconds before the bomb goes off unless they're stuck or playing with a toy. The bombs are still a safe and effective way to deal with rockz and brickz, though. | |

Hero Must Survive | |
| Gruntz (Video Game) / int_3de56bca | comment |
Hero Must Survive: Besides the obvious Warpstone carrier Gruntz, there are also other situations. In the final level, there's a huge number of enemy Gruntz at the end. Right after that, there's the finish portal as well as the warp stone piece... however, in order to obtain the warp stone piece, you need to fill in a Bottomless Pit with a Shovel Gruntz, and in order to get to the finishing area, you need a Gauntlet Gruntz to break the bricks surrounding it. If either died during the Final Battle, it becomes Unintentionally Unwinnable. | |

I'm Melting!: This is the default way the gruntz die - they turn into a pile of goo that can be later sucked up to reuse for creation of another grunt. Also said word for word as one of their death quotes. Of course, this isn't going to happen if they die by getting crushed or blown up, or by falling into a Bottomless Pit. | |

Time Bomb: Timebombz, obviously. Both as a reusable tool that a grunt can use as many times as he wants, and as a surprise variant that can be uncovered when a rock is destroyed. Both types have the traditional look of a bundle of dynamite sticks with wires and a clock attached to them, and they start ticking faster when about to go off. | |

Heroic Sacrifice | |
| Gruntz (Video Game) / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: One of your gruntz has to pull one off during the last level. One grunt stops in front of an arrow, while the other, carrying a pink gun, has to step onto crumbling bridges and shoot a ball at the arrow, so that the other grunt can be pushed past the arrow by the ball. Unfortunately, in order to shoot the ball, the pink gun grunt has to stop on the crumbling bridges... which results in him falling into the space abyss below immediately after shooting. Also in the final level, the final exit is surrounded by bricks. All but one are a black, explosive brick on top of two brown bricks, but the last is a black brick under two brown ones. You'll need your Gauntlet Gruntz to break the latter, but when he breaks the black one, it blows up on him and kills him, although that leaves an opening for the stone carrier to get through. And then there are of course the situations where a grunt has to blow himself up with a bomb in order to destroy an otherwise impassable obstacle. Subverted if a grunt must be left behind by the level's design in order to win: they'll teleport out with the others when the level is completed. | |

Improbable Weapon User: Almost every tool can be used to fight other gruntz. A few examples include giant straws, giant springs, wings, welder kits, ducky tubes, heavy boots, spy gears... their effectiveness varies, however. | |

| Gruntz (Video Game) / int_6ae137d5 | comment |
Continue Your Mission, Dammit!: While there are no conventional time limits, if any of your gruntz without a tool is left idle for long enough, they'll complain about not moving. Additionally, the king pacing the fort will sometimes impatiently check his watch or look out for where the gruntz are on the level. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
| Gruntz (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: The game contains a secret level that can be accessed from within a normal level, but you'd be forgiven for never realizing this, considering that entering the secret level requires acquiring an item that you can't get your hands on in that level without cheats, and stepping on a specific tile while carrying said item.note Enter the first Rocky Roadz level, use the "mplametoy" cheat to get a yo-yo, and then walk across the arrows. | |

Excuse Plot | |
| Gruntz (Video Game) / int_70d8269d | comment |
Excuse Plot: Here's our story: the orange gruntz were having fun with their toys. Then one of them found some mysterious giant buttons on the ground. Pressing them opened a strange gate with a portal in it. This was the moment when they were attacked by blue gruntz who were previously spying on them. In a desperate effort to save themselves, orange gruntz jumped into the portal, and blue gruntz followed them. Cue them having to go through numerous puzzles to come back home. | |

Final Battle: The final stage of the final level has a TON of enemy gruntz with different tools at the end. Fortunately, you have a large army of gruntz with you as well. Don't expect most of your gruntz to survive. You can soften this a bit by having your Gunhat user pick off some of them first, though. | |

Space Is Air: Even when the Gruntz wind up in space, they still walk on the ground and breathe as in any other world, and walking off an edge into space abyss still causes them to fall down as if gravity was present. The wings tool still allows for flying, too. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Gruntz (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: This applies to both your gruntz and the enemy gruntz. Your gruntz will always walk in a straight line towards their destination, carelessly walking into any obstacle that is in their path. Both your gruntz and the enemy gruntz can be easily distracted by toys given to them, no matter what happens around them - if the toy is a mobile one, then it gets even better, since they will randomly drive into any instant-kill obstacle near them. On multiplayer levels, the enemy shows some remarkable amounts of stupidity, such as: walking straight into pyramids that are about to raise (instant kill), under rolling boulders (instant kill), onto bridges that are about to sink (instant kill)... If they have giant straws and stand on a goo puddle, then they will glitch out and just stand on the puddle instead of walking next to it to drink it. They will break any bricks standing on their way to your gruntz, even if it means destroying their own fortress's defenses. | |

Crippling Overspecialization | |

Crippling Overspecialization: Once you give a tool to a grunt, he keeps it until death or getting a new one. Especially grating if it's a crap tool and you lost a good one to get it. The Warpstone holder has the worst luck - he's very slow, cannot attack or defend himself, and you must protect him until he gets to the end of the level. | |

Random Events Plot | |

Random Events Plot: You gotta admit, there is no logic behind the progression between each world. While at first it's reasonable with the gruntz going from a forest to an ice world and then to tropics, it stops making sense when they somehow wind up in the clouds high above the ground, and then... in a casino? And then in a gigantic kitchen? And then on a big golf course? And then in space? (This could be rectified a bit if there were more cutscenes in the game than just intro and outro...) | |

Secret Level | |
| Gruntz (Video Game) / int_aa5d87af | comment |
Secret Level: Each level has areas accessible only with the use of red wormholes (which appear temporarily if you step onto a specific tile) and secret switches (which make parts of the terrain change temporarily). Additionally, it seems that the game was intended to have actual secret levels as well. They would be unlocked if a grunt carrying a specific tool (most likely one that is impossible to get on the main level without cheats) steps on a specific tile. However, only one such level made it into the game. | |

Multiplayer-Only Item | |
| Gruntz (Video Game) / int_d145f654 | comment |
Multiplayer-Only Item: The Multiplayer levels are about conquering other players' fortresses. These Multiplayer levels feature Curses: special items whose purpose is to cause some temporary inconvenience (primarily Interface Screw) to other players, which includes shrinking the screen to a tiny rectangle, making the terrain pitch black, forcing the screen to shake, or causing the gruntz on the battlefield to randomly change their colours. While it's technically possible to put a Curse item on a Singleplayer level, they serve no purpose there, since there are no human players to be affected by it and AI-controlled opponents don't react to it either way. The only Curse that can be potentially useful is the one that changes gruntz' colours, allowing for a "remember who is who" kind of level. There are also two unique spells: teleport (warps all nearby gruntz to random locations) and toyz (forces all nearby gruntz to play with a random toy). | |

Knockback | |
| Gruntz (Video Game) / int_d247ef96 | comment |
Knock Back: Some of the weapons have this, such as the Boxing Glovez and the Sponge Gunz. You can actually fire the Sponge Gun at a Bottomless Pit, then let your Gruntz walk there just as it hits them, which pushes them past the pit before they can fall in. the Gravity Bootz tool makes a grunt immune to knockback. | |

We Cannot Go On Without You | |
| Gruntz (Video Game) / int_d4d98674 | comment |
We Cannot Go On Without You: Since you need to get the Warpstone piece to the king to finish the level, if the grunt carrying it dies, the level will immediately fail. | |

Death Course | |
| Gruntz (Video Game) / int_e53a34aa | comment |
Death Course: Each level amounts to this, and they get harder and harder as you go. You have to get past enemy gruntz, floors decorated with sharp spikes, eternally rolling boulders, holes in the ground, pits filled with oil, tar and such, and that's not even half of it... | |

Violationof Common Sense: The hidden teleporter switch can be anywhere in a level. This includes some instant death traps such a hole (such as the final level). Happy hunting! | |

Tornado Move: The Wingz changes a Gruntz' attack into a tornado projectile that hits all Gruntz in its path (including your own), causing damage and Knock Back in a random direction. | |

Eject the Loser: This happens to your gruntz in High Rollerz if they are touched by a spotlight - they're unable to sing properly, so a hole opens below them and drops them from a great height. | |

Everything Trying to Kill You: Let's see... besides the omnipresent level-themed rolling boulders, there's also birds that drop instant-kill poop, airplanes that drop exploding presents, spotlights that force gruntz to sing (and since they can't sing well, they get ejected), kitchen slimes that melt gruntz, and UFOs whose searchlights do the same. | |
