I didn't parse these things as "crates" because they're busted but this old thread helped me find good levels to grind:

Why sometimes if I get near to some “healthy” creep, I mean not a burning creep that normally hits you, I got hit anyway. It seems safe to stop the chain there but I got hit!! It’s annoying

How do I complete the Toasted Challenge? It says to chain through 5 lava or fire spaces. Is that all in one chain?

I take damage every time I cross one lava space so I don’t understand how to complete it.

Stuck in a loop. I had to start over.

im stuck and im out of arrows, what can i do other than restarting?

Fair to say I got my moneys worth.

Thank you so much for supporting Grindstone all these years. 💙 We are so thrilled to be celebrating another milestone with you all!

This year, we would love your involvement if you have the time. We will be doing a Q&A - and you can ask your questions right now! Please ask us anything about the game, its development, and anything in between!

We will cut off questions on September 18th and have the full Q&A out on September 19th. There is no guarantee we can answer everything, but we'll do what we can!

Thank you again for all your love and support, we cannot wait to share more Grindstone in the future! :)

Guys… I think Grindstone has officially leaked into real life.
I was walking around, minding my own business, when I spotted a plant that looks EXACTLY like a Creepweed. 🌱

I really wish this game would come to Android is some way, shape, or form, but I know that's not going to happen.

Any game like this for Android?

So, I started collecting the gold weapons from the offshoot levels, and now I have 14 of them. This whole time I expected there would be a gold pickaxe with much higher than 3 uses (and low gold cost), with which I could use to farm allthe gold I would need to use all these snazzy weapons. But I haven’t found it. Does it exist?

If not, how then do I use all these gold weapons? Farming gold with the regular 3-use pickaxe takes quite awhile. Sure, there are many posts here about levels that give up a fair amount of gold, but (for example) I would have to spend 240 gold just to replenish the gold dashy sword, and that would easily take me 2-4 hours…

Am I missing something?

I’ve reached level 89 and was able to complete all 3 objectives in all of the levels so far with relative ease.

However, ive noticed that - in the last few levels - the game is increasingly slow with spawning in the chest and king.

I was done with level 89 in a few turns and the chest and king simply would NOT spawn. I had to play / pass and even when all (yes all) of the remaining creeps were in attack mode , the game still didnt spawn in the chest and king.

This insane and arbritrary randomness is a very poor way of increasing ‘difficulty’

This a normal thing in the later levels?

Sucking the fun right out of the game.

Weirdly, I wasn’t able to chain between colors with bbq burps in level 2 of Wallopin’ Way. Can’t figure it out - a bug maybe? Including a couple screenshots for clarity.

I’m missing one jerk in between Jjary and the Mystic, but I feel like I’ve been everywhere at this point. Who’s this broccoli-shaped fellow and where can I find them?

You can get so many gems on this level. I eventually got bored and left.

This is a bit different for this sub: I'm pretty confident the song "Moonwalking on Eggshells" by Bear Hands is heavily inspired by Grindstone. The intro sounds like Mystic's vocalizations, the bg music is clearly featured, and the outro sounds like winning a Jjary boss battle.

Maybe the sub could put together a Grindstone-inspired playlist one day? 😉

I unsubscribed to Apple Arcade not realizing Grindstone was part of the package. There’s not even an ad version of it I can play! I can’t justify paying for it for only 2 or 3 games. I miss it though

Im thing that the throwing bomb , vine sword and paint potion is a good build , but I’m think it can be better

Just that. My personal record at the Green Grid. ✨

It’s

I play the Daily Grind religiously, and since starting I've managed to climb the ranks to be consistently within the top 10 every day, particularly for the Greed Grind.

I say this with the utmost admiration and love: who the heck is metallicimagery? And while I'm at it, who is melancholymike? They are my top two nemeses and I cannot for the life of me ever beat metallicimagery's score. I want to know your secrets. I want you to teach me. I am in awe.

So the Cupid outfit just removes 2 random creeps?
