Bad Dream - Combat puzzles for everyone! [/idgames]

[wxndxx]

I got a little tired of making slaughter maps, so I decided to do something new.

 

This is a boom-compatible map about 10-20 minutes long with a wide variety of combat situations. The difficulty levels are implemented, and I recommend sticking to the following table:

• I'm a regular player - HNTR
• I can UV-max Sunlust maps - HMP
• I hate myself - UV

The number of demons on the map is always the same, the difficulty level affects the amount of health, ammo and platforms to move.

Testing and polishing took an obscenely long time, but it was really worth it. Many thanks to the testers:
ryiron, Bofu, Maribo, SeeJay, Melanchol, OldManHan, Obake-the-New, SHIFTEE_JESUS
You're the best!

 

Tested with dsda-doom and GZDoom.

Jumping and crouching are not allowed. Freelook is ok.

That was cool! Thanks for giving it a second try

 

Bugs that I noticed:
1. On Woof the music doesn't change between zones
2. Too many linedef skips
3. Texture error in the red zone

Here's my playthrough. It's my second run, first on HMP. Knowing where enemies/weapons/secrets makes me think even UV is doable, but that's for another time. Nice visuals, fair challenge and fairly varied encounters.
