Part nostalgia-bomb, part note-taking and part FAQ, what started in GameTrailers as a video game blog is now on Blogger. This blog is a look back at video games, both popular and obscure, from the video game industry's infancy all the way to the previous console generation.
You'll need to hit all three warps in order to find all the secrets here. At least getting all of the numbers here isn't that hard.
Level 10: Dangerous Terrain
Well, they weren't lying about the level name. It's also very maze-like over here, and you'll be looking around if you want to get all the numbers in order. One of the warps takes you to a platform with a "Danger" sign. If you find that area, don't drop down; nothing good will come of it.
Also, you only have one set of numbers to collect here for the key.
Level 11: Mars
The first four trucks to hit are near the start, while the last two are below the first four.
You'll need to fall to the right through the big wall to the right of the start for a secret area.
Love how the smaller numbers are positioned after the larger numbers at the start. There's also numbers everywhere, as you'll need three whole sets of numbers just to get the key for the exit door.
There are three warps here, and you'll need to find them all in order to find all the secret areas.
Level 6: Under The Seas of Venus
We're back underwater! Compared to the last level, this one is pretty pleasant. It's also not as big, either, so finding all the secret areas is here.
Level 7: The Submarines
There is a hidden warp in the wall in the lower-right corner of the level, near the exit.
Level 8: Hidden Ocean Passages
The numbers here are all over the place. You'll have to go back and forth to get some of them in order.
You'll have to go through a wall to enter the vast secret area at the bottom of the level.
The second set of numbers at the bottom of the level are all over the place, and you'll have to watch out for the Gruzzles as you go back and forth to get them all in order.
Level 3: Moon Station
The hallways of this level are pretty narrow, so make sure you explore thoroughly so you can use your slimes less often.
Also, I never even explored that big area that you can only access with the warps. Ugh.
Level 4: Outside the Moon Station
There are quite a few warps in this level, and you'll need to use them all to get everything in the level. The warp in the upper-left corner will take you to an area in the middle that cannot be reached any other way.
On an outer arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, the planet Glixer II glints purpley in its orbit like a tiny galactic eggplant...
In the Grand Hall of Glixer, the Glixerian Commander sits in eggplanty gloom, attended by one of is captains.
"Captain Escargoto, the pet Gruzzles have become a tentacle-witling bore. How goes the plan to import new pets from Earth?"
"I will send Zorja and Grizz to report, Your Slimyness!"
"Have the Human creasures we chose to honor as our pets yet submitted to their good fortune?"
"No, revered Scum Master, they do not seem overjoyed at their good fortune."
"Have you succeeded in stealing the Humans' numbers and rendering their technology inaccessible to them?"
"We had some problems, Your Scumliness. But we will get right back and try again!"
Back on Planet Earth, you settle down to watch TV when you realize that you can't change the channels.
The number stealers are at it again!
Level 1: Follow the Gruzzles Into Space
From Episode 2 onwards, multiplication and division problems will start showing up. The division word problems will usually mention a large number of something, then list how many of that item are in a container (Glixerians in a UFO, marshmallows in a bag, etc.), which makes them easier to identify. As for the multiplication word problems, they'll usually list how many of an object exist, then list how many people or things interact with that items (i.e., there are 4 theaters, and 6 Gruzzles go to each one). Some of them also mention something being done a certain number of things being done a certain amount of times a day for a certain amount of weeks.
This level is very maze-like, and the Gruzzles are positioned in areas that make it a little harder to get around. Thankfully, all you have to do to find all the secret ares is to touch all the warps.
You'll need to leap off to the left at the top of that tall later to enter that closed-off room with the warp and get the items inside.
Level 15: The Ice Cave
In this level, you'll have three sets of numbers from 0 to 9, and you'll have to collect all three sets to get the key.
Jump through the wall to the right of the exit to find a secret area.
Once again, there's an area without a "Danger" sign that really needs it, and it's left of the start. If you fall into the gap left of the two garbage can lids, you'll fall into a bottomless pit. To enter the secret area near the beginning, you'll need to go through the wall to the left of the ladder at the start.
Love how I missed that sailboat and never went back to get it at the end.
Ending
When you beat Level 15, the first episode ends.
With the help of your mysterious butterfly companion, you have defeated the number stealers for now! But what did they want with Earth's numbers? And are they really gone?
Meanwhile...
On an outer arm of the Milky Way Galaxy, the planet Glixer II glints purpley in its orbit like a tiny galactic eggplant...
In the Grand Hall of Glixer, the Glixerian Commander sits in eggplanty gloom, attended by one of is captains.
"How dare those miserable Gruzzles return before the conquest of Earth is complete?"
"I will send the Gruzzles back to Earth immediately, Your Slimyness!"
Oh, no! The Gruzzles are back! And they're overrunning the space station! Find out why these pesky Gruzzles are stealing numbers!
Don't miss the next exciting episode...
Be sure to order the final exciting episode! In episode #3 you journey to Candy Land in order to defeat the Gruzzles once and for all (well, maybe not)!
Compared to previous levels, everything is a lot more linear. As for that secret area leading to all those items and garbage can lids, it's directly below the start. Just go through that wall on the right hand side.
Level 12: The Crystal Cave (Where's Milo?)
Shout-out to the obvious Crystal Caves reference.
If you're looking for the secret area, it's to the right of the area with the truck at the bottom of the level.
Level 13: Phosphorescent Cave
Watch out in the lower-left corner of the level. That drop off past the small platform to the side is a bottomless pit, and the game doesn't provide a danger sign telling you that it is indeed a dangerous pit. Boo!
There's also a secret area to the left of where you start. It's the only one in the level, and it's easy to miss.
The door out of the level is just to the right of where you start. Make sure that you find all of the warps so you can easily find everything that the level has to hunt down.
Level 9: The Volcano In Spring
Compared to all the other levels that we've been in, the trucks are all in one place: the place all the way to the right of where you start where you can warp. The trucks can be taken care of from bottom to top.
The second "6" is near the lower-right warp, away from the other numbers that come after it.
Level 10: Climbing The Volcano
Be careful where you're going in this level, as you'll have to go out of your way to get some of the numbers and a few of the numbers will be in your way as you're trying to get from one part of the level to another.
