Description:	* PLAY ON HMP/HNTR * 9 Boom-compatible maps (i.e. prb+ cl9). Explore a mostly-purple world of villages, space bases, temples, and beyond!! These maps are really god damn hard. I put most of my time and effort into making HMP the intended difficulty setting, it's by far the most fun and balanced. Think of Stardate20x7's HMP as everyone else's UV. Similarly, HNTR was balanced to be comparable to other challenging mapsets on HMP. UV is NOT the intended way to play the levels on a first playthrough, but rather was intended to be a "bonus" setting reserved for hardcore sadomasochists that are already familiar with the maps and want pure challenge. Anyhow, this set is a mix of "casual" maps, cramped maps, and some slaughtermaps (surprise!). Good luck! * PLAY ON HMP/HNTR *

     Music: "Funky Stars" by Quasar of Sanxion, sequenced by James Paddock
     About: Launched into space! Specifically, to the prequel of "Amethyst 4:
            In Space" and perhaps "Amethyst: In The Hood" later down the line.
            It's a cramped and tightly interwoven space station, chock full of
            bring-your-cpu-to-a-crawl decor. A brief affair.

     Music: "Ivor Tower" from the game "Secret of Evermore"
     About: You seemed to have slipped into another dimension entirely.
            Mysterious techno-ruins adrift in an ocean of Ribena. Proto-
			slaughter set-pieces aplenty, you know the drill...

================================================================================
     Music: "It's in C-minor too?" by Ribbiks
     About: You've reached the HEART of it all. The usual suspects line the
            walls of this twisted menagerie of slaughter set-pieces and
            nonsensical puzzles. Do you believe?

================================================================================
//                             MAP31: Hopscotch                               \\

     About: A brief hunk of slaughter. A partial reinvisioning of an old map
            of mine called "cg.wad" that probably no one has played.

## MAP01 Midi: This midi is a frankenstein rearrangement of an interesting
               composition called "The Journey" by the user Kafiolet over on
               Ultimate Guitar forums. I edited it without his permission, I'm
               a bad person, my apologies. As consolation here's a link to the
               forum thread where I ripped the song:
