2. Version History
Version 0.40 5/17/2010: Tutorial Mode is done, and Story Mode through Puzzle
15, but I can’t get past Puzzle 16 in Story Mode. If anyone has gotten past
there, please e-mail me and tell me how you did it, and I’ll add you to my
Acknowledgments section. Don’t worry about how you tell me, just use your own
words and I’ll convert the directions to my own method later. I’ll also take
info on any later puzzles, and anything in Challenge Mode.
Version 0.42 5/27/2010: Forget all that about Story Mode Puzzle 16. Story
Mode is now done through Puzzle 22, except for 19. I found out how to get
through it from a solution posted on the Steel Penny Games website, but like
all the solutions Jason Hughes has posted there, it won’t get you the star. He
still wants to make us do that ourselves. If you know how to get the star on
Puzzle 19, please e-mail me. Also in this version, I made a few minor tweaks
to sections 3, 4, and 5, and I added Supercheats.com to my list of allowed
websites.
Version 0.57 7/28/2010: I now have Story Mode walkthroughs up through Puzzle
40, and I’ve also done the first Challenge Mode puzzle. However, there are now
4 puzzles in Story Mode that I can’t get the star on: 19, 33, 37, and 39.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is one of those FAQs that I
wouldn’t mind being a community effort.
Version 0.58 3/29/2011: Well, I realized yesterday morning for the first time
that a website had posted this FAQ and one of my others without my permission.
So I now have to start a list of sites that are not allowed to host my FAQs.
Wow, bummer.
Version 1.00 1/30/2012: I finished the walkthroughs for Story Mode. The list
of puzzles that I don’t know the Star Requirement for is now 19, 33, 37, 39,
41, 42, 43, 45, 46, and 48. If anybody knows any of those or how to get them,
please contact me. I’m giving this version the number 1.00 to make it clear to
people that Story Mode is complete even though I haven’t done anything else on
Challenge Mode, and also because I may or may not actually finish Challenge
Mode, and I hate to leave a FAQ with a version number less than 1. I also
changed my closing remarks in Section 11 to reflect the fact that I had beaten
Story Mode.
Version 1.04 4/18/2015: I recently worked out a couple more puzzles in
Challenge Mode, about which I had received e-mails asking for help. At least I
think both of them are the right ones. I lost one of the e-mails when the old
computer I was working on died, so I can’t remember for sure. If I’m wrong,
please contact me again, and I’ll try to do whatever puzzle it was. But as for
right now, even though that’s all that I’ve done, I’m going ahead and updating
the FAQ for a couple reasons. First, I looked at pretty much everything else
in Challenge Mode, and those were actually about the only puzzles that I could
figure out on my own. Go figure, because those were the only ones that I was
asked for help on. Second, I’ve got a pretty big backlog of games that I
haven’t played, and Bruiser and Scratch just hasn’t aged that well or remained
as fun as it was at first, so the odds of me choosing to play this anymore with
all those other games there are pretty low. And besides, at least 2 of the
games in my backlog, maybe more to come,
are games that have no FAQ yet and look like stuff I might write FAQs for. And
if I start working on another FAQ, I’ll have to leave this one behind, at least
to some extent. So basically, there’s a good chance this might be the final
version of this FAQ, unless I get some help from anyone on the puzzles I
couldn’t figure out. I still very much want that, though, because I hate to
leave a game not conquered. So regardless of anything I’ve said here, if
you’ve figured out anything on this game that you don’t see in this FAQ, please
contact me, and I will do it in the game and update the FAQ.
3. Intro
Why is there still no FAQ for this game? Well, it looks like it’s time for me
to save the day! Back when I got this game, it was the second-best thing on
WiiWare, behind only Mega Man 9. It’s a fun, refreshingly atypical puzzle
game, and the sheer number of puzzles adds a bit of replay value. There are a
total of 134 puzzles spread out over 3 game modes! Here’s how the FAQ works.
There is a section for each mode of play. For each puzzle in Tutorial Mode, I
will first list the number of moves required for getting the star. Then I will
give you a grid map of the puzzle with letters and numbers similar to a chess
diagram, which will streamline the instructions in the following walkthrough
for the star. For Story and Challenge Modes, I will only give one grid map at
the beginning of each section, since all of the boards are the same size, but
the rest is the same. For Story Mode, I will also give you a script of the
scene that occurs after you finish each puzzle, in case you want to look over
it again without having to do the puzzle over. And at the end of the FAQ,
there is a section with just the star requirements for all 134 puzzles for
those who want to know what they need to do, but want to figure out how by
themselves. That’s about it. Onward!
4. Controls / Game Modes
Controls
The game requires the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, but for some reason, with the
Nunchuk plugged in, you can also play the game with just the Wii Remote held
sideways. However, with just the Remote, you will lose one control function.
I will list both methods of control here.
Wii Remote and Nunchuk:
Control Stick (Nunchuk): move character
Z Button (Nunchuk) or A Button (Remote): push puzzle piece
C Button (Nunchuk): change camera view
Wii Remote alone:
Control Pad: move character
2 Button: push puzzle piece
Game Modes
In Bruiser and Scratch, there are 3 modes of play: Tutorial, Story, and
Challenge. Tutorial Mode features 11 mostly simple puzzles on
smaller-than-normal boards, with a message at the beginning of each puzzle to
teach you how the game is played. In Story Mode, the puzzles are on standard
size boards with a full variety of pieces, and a story scene will play every
time you finish a puzzle. Press A to advance through the dialogue. There are
48 puzzles in Story Mode. Challenge Mode is nothing but 75
Story-Mode-style puzzles, but they are much more difficult. Each mode has a
similar puzzle selection screen, where it shows the best scores in each puzzle,
for the current file and for all three files, in four categories: number of
pushes, number of spaces moved, completion time after the first push, and
won/lost record. If you have completed that puzzle with the lowest number of
pushes possible, there will be a star inside the block on this screen. These
stars are the game’s only extra rewards to unlock. Also, on the mode selection
screen, if you put your pointer in the extreme upper-left corner of the screen,
behind the sun, and press A, you can see the game credits.
5. Basic Gameplay
Your character (either Bruiser or Scratch) will appear on a board with a given
number of pieces in set locations. The object is to push the pieces together
until they all combine. The board is “wrap-around”, which means that anytime
you or a piece reaches one side of the board, the object will reappear on the
other side of the same row or column and keep going in the same direction if
the way is not blocked by another object. Remember, the wrap-around feature
also means that if a piece appears to be stuck and needs to be pushed away from
the edge of the board, you can go to the edge opposite it and push it from
there if there is space available. That’s a little devious tactic that for
some reason was left out of the tutorials. Anyway, whenever two pieces of the
same type collide, the piece you pushed will merge into the one that was
already there. If the board has more than one type of piece and you combine
all of one type together, they will turn into a piece of an intermediate type.
All intermediate-type pieces in each puzzle are the same, so you will always be
able to combine any intermediate-type pieces together. When there is only one
piece left on the board, it will transform again and you will pass the puzzle.
But if you run out of moves or push a piece so that it wraps around and hits
you, you will lose and will have to start the puzzle over. That’s how you play
the game, but it is NOT that simple, so here we go with the walkthroughs.

Bruiser?
Bruiser: Hmm? What does that mean, Scratch?
Scratch: It means the ants will have eaten up all of our picnic by the time we
get back!
Bruiser: Well, it’s important to feed the ants, they’re people too.
Scratch: Yeah, in a buggy, antenna-y, six-leggedy kind of way.

Hare: Of course I live underground! What’s left of it anyway.
Bruiser: We’re sort of pleased to meet you, uh, mister...?
Hare: Harry Lepus is the name. And if you don’t mind, I’d like some peace and
quiet. You’re as considerate as a horde of monsters. Good day!

adjustments is all it needs!

are interlopers, ruffians, pirates who drove off the Ynnuf. The Ynnuf are the
original inhabitants of this world, and created all these beautiful places and
filled them with wonder. The Biggish corrupted their magic. They ruined
everything. Things were so much better before... before all my prey turned to
stone.

the one with the brilliant plan to get us home?

yet, but while Dr. Von Whatsit is... I mean, uh. I’m assisting. Yes,
assisting.

10. Acknowledgments
Thanks to my mom and dad, who helped me figure out some of the puzzles.
I got info on how to beat Story Mode Puzzle 10 from a post by cheruboptics on
the GameFAQs message boards. If you’re reading this, cheruboptics, I don’t
know if you’re still working on your own FAQ or not, but I hope we can help
each other through the game. (Probably more you helping me. :))
Thanks to GameFAQs for hosting the FAQ.
Thanks to Steel Penny Games for the nice, fun, refreshing puzzle game in the
sea of totally dull WiiWare games.
Anyone who gives me info on anything I haven’t done yet will be added here.
11. Contact Info and Closing
My E-mail address is
[email protected]. In the Subject line, be sure to
put the word FAQ and the name of the game you are talking about, or you are
subject to erasure. I welcome most all comments about my FAQs. If you like my
work, please tell me, because it means I’ve done my job and helped someone out
there. I can also take _constructive_ criticism. If you know how I can
improve a FAQ, or if you know some information that I don’t or an easier way of
doing something, or even if I need to be corrected, please tell me. It means
you actually care! :) I do not accept messages simply saying that you don’t
like my work, and it only takes one message with any kind of profanity for me
to block you. Despite a few issues this game has with cheesiness and lameness
in the script throughout, the game is quite fun all the way to the end and the
story gets better in the last 5 puzzles or so, just in time for there not to be
any more. It’s actually kind of a shame that this game was not received well
enough for Mr. Hughes and company to make a sequel or 2. I guess part of that
may have been because there was no complete FAQ for Story Mode until now, so
maybe if enough people hear about this FAQ, they’ll buy some more copies of the
game and the creators will make enough money to give us a sequel! Actually,
that probably won’t happen anyway, but it’s possible, so it’s worth hoping and
spreading the word. Otherwise, you know it won’t happen. Until next time,
friends, enjoy the FAQ, and remember: “Don’t just beat it, conquer it!” –
dungeonconquerorB.
