Ixion Mines [MBF Medium size map]

[RataUnderground]

 

Decades ago, communication with the mining base on Ixion, a dwarf planet on the periphery of the solar system, was lost. It is your task to explore its depths and activate the station's beacon before leaving.
 

This is a medium-sized adventuring-style map steeped in darkness that greatly rewards curiosity and observation. However, at its high difficulty level, it harbors more than one surprise for the unwary. In addition, easy and medium skill levels are available on the map for a more relaxed experience. Enjoy!

Hey, thanks for your gameplay! It's always cool to see you playing my maps : )

"That secret with the one armor bonus is possibly the stupidest ever."

Oh, you think so? ;)

It just wasn't a great reward, which might have been the point for all I know.

Sorry, I don't want there to be any misunderstandings xD. Have you seen the little video in that post you quote? 

[LadyMistDragon]

Yeah, I assumed that was from a Supercharge secret that I'd collected earlier though.

Here's a demo, played with PRBoom+ (with saves).

The cyberdemon room took me way too much tries...

Also, I spent a long time at the end looking for the last secret, but I got tired and ended the map without it. :P

Well, I opened the map in Doom Builder trying to find that last secret and I found it was a very small sector touching the armor bonus secret (I think it can't be triggered). Also, the health bonus that seemed to mark where a secret was, it's just in an unreachable area and can't be collected. :P

Nice gameplay :)

 

I think you would have had a better time with the cyberdemons if you had tried to deal with them from outside their cubicle. Entering a space with so little leeway is not the best strategy.

 

 

Also, yes, Ixion its a real dwarf planet.
