Reviews:

This is as uninteresting as you'd expect from the readme, made worse by an irritating set of new sounds that are too loud and go on too long. The level is a decent challenge, with almost 400 monsters, but for the most part it's a cramped, fiddly mine with a stingy amount of ammo, which means you'll be pistol-sniping chaingunners etc. The baddies come in clumps and there's nothing lively about the layout.

I would rate the empty level very high but because of monster placement, lack of ammo, lack of health and armor I have to rate this as bad. In it's current state it's not fun to play.

* Gameplay Hints *

Ammo is scarce in the beginning.  It's time to hone your chainsaw skills to 
stay alive.  Anything less than a cacodemon should be sawed or you'll run
out of ammo for the tough guys.  Make it to the first (yellow) door and ammo
will become more abundant. (as will the monsters!)  As always...save often. 
 
================================================================
