Do Battle! - Version 1.0

Do you like to hump? 

 

Well this is the wad for you, at least at first. map01's progression involves wonky teleporters and keys stashed in secrets. While the next two maps depart from that, you should still be prepared to mash your soft parts into non-standard triggers. 

 

The layouts consist of blocky rooms or spaghetti strands of hallways, with monsters dumped into these spaces more or less randomly, and it all gives off the impression of SLIGE after getting drunk (if computer programs could do that). 

 

This old set does have its charms, though. The author outdoes SLIGE in the novelty of trigger use; map02 had a neat room where you press a "switch" to constantly raise the floor level of a large outdoor courtyard. The texturing can be funny at times: map01 dresses up a whole room in a key strip indicator, and then outdoes that by painting the next room in scrolling sky. (Yes that is a plus.) There is also fun to be had if you like blowing clumps of stuff up with barrels, the rocket launcher, or cell weapons -- albeit only a modest amount of that. Clocking in at around 10-15 minutes of play with carryovers, I would choose this for a speedrun-type blind race.

 

Note: 100% kills on map02 is impossible, as it contains a zombieman standing guard over the void space.

Oh goodness so I didn't just dream this up! The textfile sets up expectations for a trippy doomventure, but the unorthadoxness of the maps is unfortunately presented in the form of random texturing and blobishly shaped sectors. Still though, the gameplay holds up pretty well and there's a certain charm to its give-no-fucks style. Lovely bit of prose for the story too!
