SQUID.WAD

02/20/80, Time-traveler author created this early fun joke wad. Cute-doom 94'. 

Presumably enthousiastic but far from good map. Layout is simple, texture use poor. Has way too much decoration used for blocking purposes. Gameplay without leitmotiv is challenging nor interesting, it looks like a sort-of training map. The amount of horrible HOMs shows lack of interest, which made me decide to give it 1* instead of 2.

There might be some good fights, but the layout is just spiraling and there's no aesthetic or map design/theme. Oh well. ~2/5

one of the best 80s wads i've played

Good: Decent ammo balance at the start; big clusters of baddies to fight. Bad: Though there are many enemies, most fights are quite easy; level gets pretty ugly as it goes on; repetitive after the red key is obtained; some monsters trapped inside other monsters; massive sprite overload in DOOM.EXE. Overall: An increasingly-lazy effort, quickly spiraling into tedium and ugliness, with brainless combat. Ignore it. 1/5 -VV
