jet01 (jetflock map01 remake.)

This is a clever one, for a 1024x1024 contest from nearly 16 years ago. 

 

It's obviously based on Entryway -- the opening for instance has a path behind you containing a chainsaw, and stairs in front of you along with some zombiemen -- but twisted into a 1024x1024 pretzel and quite aggressively reskinned. Since it's heavily reskinned, and infuses completely new concepts into the design, like a computer room with Doomcute computers and keyboards and mice taking the spot of the "armor room," playing is a fun little game of recognition of both old spaces and what thoughts might have led to the new look. Some playfully creepy music plays over the top. 

 

The action is mostly what you'd expect from the slot, and hardly anything to write home about, but there is a revenant and baron and I had fun distracting the baron and then going to town with my chainsaw on its butt. The map does commit the 1024 layout sin of trying to cram six whole rooms into the playable cube, but the "mini version of some other map" pattern is an excusable place for that.

 

Baron ass out of 5. 

This is shorter than a short thing on national short thing day........

Nice little level. The trouble is that getting the blue key is a little tricky, and what's with that non-functional door in the room with the automap? If anyone knows how to get it open, you're a better DooMer than me.

Good fun, and cute too. Apart from the baron teleport at the end it works in Jdoom as well. It's recognisably a modern version of Doom II level one, although it would be rubbish in deathmatch (whereas the original was fab). One of a handful of levels to have a toilet in it, and not suck.

Really great and quite original remake of MAP01. 4/5 - Optimus

heh, I actually LOVE playing DM in this map.... I even like throwing some legacy bots in for total carnage.

A very nice remake. I enjoyed the way the creator increased the gameplay level too by using stronger creatures.

A nice enough map, though there's no challenge, and a few more of the areas should have been secrets, especially those that are essentially equivalent to ones in the original map01. It could (and should) have been kept as needing only a limit-removing port - the baron teleport could easily have been arranged without using Boom features. The music is weird, but at least better than the original. Deserves 3.5/5 overall.

Hey man this level is really cool. Everything looks nice and clean. I like all of these 1024 levels. 4/30/07

i love it.awesome detailing 5/5

Neat. Creepy music. 4/5

That was a pretty good map IMO. I always hated map01, but this wad really souped it up. The detail was pretty good, and you made good use of Entryway's secrets. My only complaint was the music. The music REALLY sucked. ****

Very clever ideas, some amazing construction ideas not seen anywhere else. I won't forget this in a hurry. The gameplay's way easy but it is Map01. 5/5 -jj

pls make more its really cool !

I rarely enjoy 1024's that use thin walls and curves to squeeze as much playing space into the map as possible, but this is very nice. 4/5 - Belial
