After fleeing through a wormhole to avoid an attack by their evil cousins, the Disgruntled, they are stranged in a strange world and have to fight their way back home. The game is half-puzzle, half-strategy. Your Gruntz move around the map collecting items, activating switches and killing Disgruntledz.

Each level requires you to retrieve the warpstone piece and take it to the Gruntz king on that level.Show more

I am very nostalgic to this game - especially dialogues in Polish version.
Very cheesy and childish but that's the main appeal.
I would also like to try it in English and get some jokes I couldn't when I was a kid.
We used to play this on my big brother's Pentium III. Gosh, those were the days.
The game is clever and filled with unforgettable one-liners and quips from the gruntz you moved around, like when you made them use the shovel "Mom always said I'd be digging ditches".
The voices were brilliant and funny and I'd love to see this available.
Really fun mix of strategy and puzzles that I could play with my dad and sister back in the day. The colorfull themed maps, the secret hunting and the general vibe of these silly creatures that were as fast to chop each other up with swords as to play with a jack-in-a-box or ride a bicycle, all made it a standout title for me, and honestly, it's still pretty unique today. The polish voices were awesome and some of the things the Gruntz said entered common parlance in my and my friend's house ("Niesamowite! Łopata!" to name just one), while others still live rent free in my head, along other great video game voice lines. Honestly, seeing it already have over 1.5k votes at the time of writing, already makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside, because I long though this game some obscure forgotten gem, but having it on GoG, and running it without issues on modern hardware would be awesome.
I've been playing this game on and off for over 25 yearz now. The game is fun and FUNNY! Seriously it's one of the funniest gamez I have ever played. The graphicz and voicez are amazing. The puzzlez are fun as well, not too easy, not too hard, depending on your play style. If you want to 100% it be prepared to use a walkthrough as some of the latter missionz are really tricky. :) I would love to see this game here. PLEASE GOG!!
I'm walking spikes waaaahaah
Best and my first strategy game I played on the PC and would love to reply it on morden hardware.
Goo straw FTW and all the amazing jokes (if a bit out dated)
Gruntz is, simply, a one of a kind gem for me. Whether it is for the brainstorm puzzlez in Questz, or a niche real time strategy in Battlez, game also livez rent free in my head due to so many funny one linerz, despite many of them being cheesy, 4th wall breaking and probably outdated for today. A blast from the past, for sure.
Even though I haven't tried the following because I waz a kid back then, adding custom levelz for both modez or playing against other playerz can surely keep it fresh. There iz a forum dedicated to thiz game that providez both said custom levelz and guidez for online play.
Not only is this is a great game in it's own right, it's also a notable evolutionary dead end for the RTS genre. It represents a path not travelled, and I could see someone with some vison taking the idea of a puzzle RTS like this and creating something new and interesting.
Pieces like this are worth picking up, and re-examining for modern inspiration.
One of my favorite games from childhood. Played it all the time with my brother trying to solve the puzzles or Free For All against bots. No RTS game has really felt the same.
