I think the hype made a bashing thread inevitable. I wasn't here when Ambages was released, so I don't know how much it was hyped and how much feedback it got...

GRUNTS, gameplay-wise, isn't any better than one of the less polished games you might find in the projects forum. The differences, speaking relative to those projects:

1. It looks much nicer.
2. It's complete.
3. It's polished.
