===================================DISCLAIMER==================================
I have decided not to allow websites other than Gamefaqs (www.gamefaqs.com),
IGN (faqs.ign.com) & Gamespot (www.gamespot.com) to host my FAQs from now on.
Please don't ask, because I will not grant permission. It's just that too many
sites don't keep their version of my FAQ up to date which makes for a lot of
hassle in my mailbox.
So if anyone sees this FAQ on any site other than those mentioned above, please
let me know and I will take care of the situation, thanks.
Just to make things crystal clear for some people, this FAQ is not to appear
anywhere at the following URLs:

###############################################################################
(C) ENEMIES/ITEMS
###############################################################################
-------
Enemies
-------
Snakes, rats, skeletons, demons, hammers, pickaxes and faces walk across the
ground.
Cats and spiders either walk across the ground or jump through the air.
Birds and bats fly through the air.
Fish jump straight up and fall.
Rockets, chainsaws and drillers bounce towards you.
Ghosts walk or bounce towards you
Fireballs fall down slowly.
Mine carts can only be stopped by shooting the block at the end of the track.
Vampire bats spin around you in circles and steal some of your milk each time
they touch you. They are very hard to hit, but you need to shoot them a few
times to knock them away and finally destroy them.
Rocks and flames block your path [rocks are harmless].
-----
Items
-----
Milk - Shoot milk to restore your timer/health.
Nugget - DON'T shoot these, collecting 12 gives you 1up.

(D) STRATEGIES
###############################################################################
Bricklayer J. Gastronomy
------------------
Stage 01 - Outside
------------------
Enemies include: Rats, snakes, spiders, fireworks.
Shoot the clouds over pits to make bridges and watch the bushes and trees for
enemies. Shoot all that moves and be sure to get milk when you see it.
-------------------
Stage 02 - Cemetery
-------------------
Enemies include: Cats, skeletons, bats.
Shoot the tombstones and clouds to fill in the pits. Shoot the moon for more
points. Shoot milk as it appears with the lightning.
-----------------
Stage 03 - Clouds
-----------------
Enemies include: Spiders, faces, birds, rockets.
Shoot the star, harp, sun, hearts and other objects in the sky for extra
points. Watch for enemies falling from clouds and be sure to shoot the rain
clouds a few times to stop the rain while moving under it.
Pay attention to the white target squares that appear when you fire. They show
you where you need to aim, particularly for the clouds.
-----------------
Stage 04 - Cave A
-----------------
Enemies include: fireworks, demons, fish, rocks, flames, ghosts, fireballs.
Shoot the spikes and torches above to make bridges when needed. Leave the milk
as LONG as possible before shooting it, otherwise you won't get through. After
the low tunnel don't shoot the flame above the last pit. If you do, then it
continuously drops fireballs on you.
-----------------
Stage 05 - Cave B
-----------------
Enemies include: Ghosts, pickaxes, fireballs, fireworks.
This short stage has a lot of enemies, so keep your eyes open and shoot
quickly.
----------------
Stage 06 - Crypt
----------------
Enemies include: Ghosts, skeletons, fireballs, fireworks.
Shoot signs as well as torches to make bridges.
Some of the ghosts in this stage split into 4 when shot, so watch out.
The first group of graves is laid out like this:
01 02 03 04 05
06 07 08 09
10 11 12 13
10, 03 & 09 have milk inside, ignore the rest. The second group of graves has
this layout:
01 02 03 04 05
06 07 08 09 10
This time, 06, 02, 08 and 04 have milk inside. MAKE SURE you get the milk from
spot 04 as late as possible, otherwise you won't reach the end of the stage.
Shoot the middle door down low of the 3 to take the right exit.
-----------------
Stage 07 - Mine A
-----------------
The vampire bats make this stage VERY cruel.
Enemies include: Bats, vampire bats, fireworks, mine carts, drillers, faces,
pickaxes.
The vampire bat spins around you and drains your milk when he gets close.
Watch your milk carefully and get more before it scrolls away. Shoot the
vampire bat quickly and carefully to knock him away a few times and kill him.
Try to shoot the mine cart blocks early, but time it so the cart doesn't hit
you.
There are 4-5 vampire bats in the stage, be sure to shoot the wood above
the first pit to make a bridge.
-----------------
Stage 08 - Mine B
-----------------
Enemies include: Fireworks, bats, cats, demons, ghosts.
This is another short stave like Cave B, the enemies keep spawning. Shoot fast
and get your milk at the last possible moment to reach the exit.
----------------------------
Stage 09 - Fountains & Pipes
----------------------------
Enemies include: Fireworks, birds, drillers, chainsaws, hammers.
Shoot the valve on the first pipe so you come out lower. Shoot below the
fountains so they are all level and you can walk across. Hit the valve on the
second pipe and ignore the valve on the third. A cloud up high creates the
next bridge. Ignore the fourth valve and shoot the fifth to go up high.
Quickly raise the last 3 fountains up as high as you are to finish the game!

For a little while now I've had a paypal link in all my FAQs at the very bottom
here. Mainly as a small experiment since a few other FAQ authors have also had
the same idea.
I had a few people email me before I put this link in because they wanted to
send money, so it's here for those people.
For the record I've received about $87 (which works out to a bit more in
Canadian lol) last I checked, so I've been getting cases of pop and making some
excellent progress on a few FAQs.
If you don't want to send money or can't then send me an email, it's nice to
hear what people thought about my work and there's always room for improvement.
My email address and paypal address for those that want to contribute are both

Many thanks, and I hope you continue to use my work!
