Description:	20 shortish levels split into three episodes: Rear Entry, Knee Deep in the Sludge and Into the Blood "The Source" - That's what they call it. No one quite knows what it is, apart from the birthing grounds of the monstrous army that invaded your planet. Your team was sent to destroy it, but the way in was heavily guarded, and now only you survive. You'll have to find another way in... The maps are all relatively small with 2 min par times as average. all are designed to be demo friendly, possible from a pistol start and reasonably challenging on UV.

Base:	New from scratch
Build time:	30 months, in between getting married, having babies and working full time.
Editor(s) used:	Doombuilder, Whacked2, Wintex, XWE, Photoshop, Cool Edit Pro
Bugs:	Flat "bleeding" is used for some effects or to hide holes in the ground so some ports (GL specifically) may botch these up

                          way in was heavily guarded, and now only you
                          survive. You'll have to find another way in...

The maps are all relatively small with 2 min par
                          times as average. all are designed to be demo
