Did the monster count limit present an interesting design challenge?
Yes, but it was also great at keeping me from giving into scope creep.

This was hard! XD
It took me a while to figure out what to do in the poison area with the cyberdemon, and I got killed a lot in the process, so I had to save to avoid repeating the first half of the level until I found the correct way.
The secrets were fun to find. In the last one I was: "Oh, a Sigil reference!". XD
And the "disco room" with the archviles at the end was awesome looking.

EDIT: Hmmm, looks like it's not vanilla complatible, I can't play it in Chocolate Doom.

Thanks! I've tried to signpost the way down with health bonuses but I believe I didn't on the harder difficulty. Admittedly if you just make a straight run for the castle you'll probably live and I didn't really add much on the way there to make it worth it going the longer route.

You're the second person to tell me it isn't compatible yet I used Doom 2 mode strictly and I did test along the way (not the lastest version tho, as I only had some minutes left haha). I will look into it tomorrow.

Maybe the 100% vanilla compatible restriction shouldn't count at this point?

I'm finding more maps that can't be completed in Chocolate and I don't feel good rating the "respect to restriction" part badly in all of them. xD

Indeed, maybe "limit-removing"/Crispy Doom would've been a better choice. I was trying to simplify it for new mappers, not make it harder haha!

But more jams will come, surely :D Either way, ratings are visible as separate criteria and I don't think it's fair for those who made the effort, so I don't mind the bad ratings for my lack of testing.

I loved the hard but fair encounters, that make you think a bit. After playing this I felt I should have made my map harder, have more archviles. Nice gimmick with the shootable crates. Architecture is awesome.

Not vanilla compatible tho.

I hope it wasn't too hard. I'll admit I mostly tested it on medium, then I just ran the other difficulties a couple of times. Easy is meant to be an absolute cakewalk if not for the platforming, and I did manage to finish it on hard but I had to res myself a couple of times, which I thought was fine given I'm not that good of a player.

By the end of it I was just testing on GZ and didn't run it on vanilla. Did I hit the visplane limit? :'( I'll have time to take a closer look tomorrow. Thanks so much for the feedback!

It's pretty hard in UV but I made it, and I am not the greatest player either. Yet I must not play doom on lower difficulties than UV ;)

I ran past the Cyberdemon. Would have been easier if I kept that invisibility secret for the end.

Yeah I didn't put that Cyberdemon there to be killed normally, just as an obstacle. There's a secret that kills it, tho, to allow a 20/20 run.

Loved the mechanic of breaking crates/objects to progress; and some really rad lighting work in that last room!

Thanks so much! On the lighting, I can only dream of doing that awesome high contrast stuff many mappers do nowadays, but I did try to play with it a little haha
