    All files can be found on ftp.cdrom.com and its mirror sites.
      DON'T ASK ME TO SEND YOU ANY FILES NOR WHERE TO GET THEM.

[ Level construction ] ----------------------------------------------

  A medium to large level with a lot of small hallways, rooms, doors
and an outside area.  Well constructed, many interconnections, a few
nice traps and a nukage-sewer-area.  Very well thought through,  but
the key-placement isn't the best. You need only one key to solve the
level and  another one  to kill  all  monsters.  The author  added a
unique thing to his level: a switch to reveal secrets.  Yeah, it's a
nice idea I think.  If you find the level too hard you can push that
switch and this  will make it much  easier to find some secrets.  At
the end you have to cross a very tricky teleporter-field,  watch out
for hints and secrets... otherwise this will be very annoying.

[ Texture design ] --------------------------------------------------

  Nice  texture-placement,  but many textures  are misaligned.  Most
teleporters don't look like teleporters (there are only a few to get
you  out of  some  places) - no,  one is  done  right.  Overall  the
alignment could be much better.

[ Bugs ] ------------------------------------------------------------

  No HOMs  and Medusa  effects.  I noticed  some  Tutti-Frutties  at
stairs. Ugly.

[ Enemies ] ---------------------------------------------------------

  Very challenging, due to a lot of monsters of any kind.  Very well
placed and overall not too hard.

[ Things ] ----------------------------------------------------------

  Sometimes  too  few ammo,  but enough  health. Well  placed  other
things.

[ Scoring ] ---------------------------------------------------------

  78%

  Worth downloading. The misalignments are unnecessary.
