The Dime Birthday Level Collection

About This File

Twelve levels designed for the 25th birthday of Doom speedrunner Dime! The restrictions given to the designers were:

- Boom compatibility (a.k.a. PrBoom+ -complevel 9) - No green or blue armor - Maximum 75 monsters - In the style of scythe map 22-24 gameplay (texture use is up to [one]self) - Must [have] a BFG, but only a maximum of 200 cells in the map INCLUDING BFG pickup.

All levels were played by Dime on his Twitch channel. He wrote on Doomworld afterward that "From Melbourne streets, to green scythe, to near impossible maps it was all a blast." Said "near impossible map" is included as MAP32 and cannot be reached in normal gameplay; you must warp to that level to play it.

For a collection of birthday maps, this one is actually good. Some ehh maps (oh look, joe-ilya, the best mapper of all time, graces us with yet another divine creation; and there's also clearly offensive and crass trollmap that is 32), but also some nice and competent ones, given the gameplay-related restrictions. And kudos to Breezeep for competent Valiant ripoff, heh.

Great WAD. Good looking levels and very challenging gameplay. It's borderline on slaughterfest, but it maintains a fair level and always gives you room to manuever. Well done, everyone.

Thoroughly enjoyed it and would happily play more maps in this vein. Short, sweet, and action-packed with a nice sprinkling of visuals too. Recommended. -TRRobin.

      I genuinely enjoyed this mod with its level design and music. It was challenging and interesting and it kept me playing a while after beating it to try to find anything. though I would say it was slightly repetitive and overwhelming with enemies at some moments.

      Writing a review for Darkening 2 is tough. It's a beloved megawad, and for good reason. As many other reviewers have said, it is historically a very important project.   It was an important megawad for me personally. I fell in love with the first level in particular. The music, the realistic architecture, so reminiscent of the video games of the 90s... It all left a lasting impression. And it was one of the most beautiful wads I've seen at the time.   But I rarely played anyt

      A competently made map, for sure, but fun? It's way too long and repetitive, with same-y combat & ambush scenarios used again and again, and with way too much enemies, and not that much of a challenge, even for me who isn't exactly fond of "SUPER HARD WAD #9263!!!!11!. You can cut the whole thing in half, and then cut THAT half in half, and it would be a better map. Is it bad? No, just a little bit above average, mostly because it drags a bit too long.

      Generally good map design, but the difficulty as is the case with pwads tends to be uneven even on HMP, especially when you mix them with what slaughtermaps tend to be (monster spam). Too many parts where, after pressing a switch, you'll spend some time killing enemies only to realise the map maker tried to get cute and spawned a bunch of hidden archviles somewhere to start reviving everyone while you were busy wasting ammo. This is especially unfun in parts with very little cover where you'll b

      I like the part where I pay for the numerous murders I committed by getting beaten up by either a Mancubus or an Arachnotron, it changed my outlook on Monster Priority. Thank you "Problematic" Revenant #7, I have yet to find a way to repay him.
