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.
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.
