Grand Theft Ummagine Solutions by Magenta

Finally a game for us puzzle lovers! (Well, other than Faerie Caves). The great thing about this game is that you can lose as often as you want, and it doesn’t count against you. That leaves you free to explore and try out new things.

The game becomes easier once you learn how the Guards move, so you can better avoid and outsmart them. The first rule is that if you are within their “awakening distance” the Elephante guards will move up and down the screen to follow you unless there is something to block them from moving up and down. At this point they won’t move left or right any more unless you come back into line with their left or right. I will refer to an elephante stopped at a block as being “trapped” and as walking in line with a trapped elephante as “releasing” him. The elephante will also move left or right if he manages to catch up with your position on the “up/down” axis as you run from him.
