My first thought upon seeing this was wow, a DOOM clone on PICO-8, that is some next-level technical wizardry. That in and of itself is impressive.
What I found at least as impressive as I played is how well this nails being DOOM. It's not just something vaguely resembling DOOM but a proper DOOM demake. Some of the details are off, of course, but a surprising amount of stuff is right on, and most importantly it feels right. Of particular note is the movement, which felt absolutely right, and I'd just finished playing some of the original this morning.
If I had one gripe it would be the level design, which I found kind of eh, though given the technical limitations that were no doubt involved I'm more than inclined to forgive it.
What an amazing game - especially in pico 8! I included it in my compilation video series of the 7DFPS compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look!
Holy moly, talk about impressive! In a lot of ways, this actually improves the Doom aesthetic with a much nicer color palette. The fact that you've got it running on a PICO8 absolutely blows my mind, excellent work all around!

thanks - @GameCactus did a brilliant job for levels but yes, size and interaction diversity is limited by the medium.
Nailed it in 7 days! Absolutely loved it!
again - was not done in 7 days. Release date matched jam dates.
its so DAMN GOOD just needs WASD control scheme support. Rlly good for 7DAYS tho

Mind. Blown.

7 days or not, this is still an impressive technical achievement. Well done!
Goodness grady, this is way to good for it to be made in 7 days.
definitely not done in 7d - checked with host and she is ok with it, the point is more to gather fps initiatives rather than crunching for 7 days.
Oh! Well then, that makes more sense.
Boys, this wasn't made for this jam and you know it, why you being so cheeky?
Too good
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. To do something like this with PICO-8...... You are too good.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5
