Sponge Gun

Special Effect: The Grunt struck by a Sponge is pushed one Tile away from the shooter ... unless that would put the Grunt into Water or solid objectz. (Gruntz without a Toob will never enter water ... horizontally ... only by having support (a Bridge Tile) go out from under them.)

A SpongeGun Grunt is most effective against an enemy Grunt that is 'walking a tight-rope', where one mis-step is fatal.

All a Sponge doez is bump the target Grunt one Tile away from the shooter.

If that one Tile is a 'Death Tile' ... mission accomplished!

It "is not a manly gun" (SpongeGun Grunt'z own wordz - 8 secondz),

since it takez about twenty 'hitz' to turn a Grunt into Goo.

But it can be used to place a Grunt (any Grunt) right where you want him, given enough time, and a Grunt not highly desirous of maintaining position in a certain spot may become a Goo Puddle.

It may also be used to get a friendly Grunt to a place he would otherwise be able to reach; fire a Sponge at an Arrow, then have a friendly Grunt step onto that Arrow, and friend is pushed beyond it.

Spongegunz can also hit a grunt past any one tile gap.

Note that the Sponge is not fired at the friendly Grunt, but at the Arrow; the friend arrivez at the Arrow after the shot has been fired.

With some difficulty an enemy Grunt armed with this weapon may be induced to assist you in reaching a place you cannot reach voluntarily. Step on an Arrow facing the 'wrong' way, timed so that the enemy Grunt is ready to fire at you, then step on the Arrow again just as the enemy's sponge arrivez. Ta-da!
