Another Doom mod that requires not only mouselook but also jumping and crouching. Sacrilege! But this one is interesting. Every level has a number of coins, and in order to open the exit you have to collect at least 75% of them before time runs out. Collect 100% to unlock bonus levels. Colored coins have additional effects. For example, blue coins add 5 seconds to the timer.
This is the hub map from where you can enter other levels. Forced pistol starts.
There is no overarching theme. Every map looks different.
The game likes to throw tougher versions of vanilla monsters at you (like black Imps) to slow you down.
The new alternative plasma rifle functions like a railgun that consumes 10 cells per shot and penetrates enemies. The visual effect is pretty lame for how powerful it is.
And there are boss battles that don't completely suck. Except the final boss. That one is crap and doesn't deserve a screenshot.
The bonus maps are all unique. This one is an arcade parkour with boost plates and jump pads. You gotta go fast and not miss a blue coin.
Speedrunning the chasm.
In the final bonus level you have to fight your way back through the hub while it's being invaded by monsters. Lots of monsters.
And you get a much needed new power-up: Spread! Shoot 3 projectiles instead of one.
Works with every weapon.
The time limits are well balanced, getting tighter towards the end. There are also a bunch of extra community maps, which I haven't touched yet.
Two major complaints: 1) The HUD sucks. The default Doom HUD has big fat numbers for health and armor that are easy to read in the corner of your eye. Fuck that! How about itsy bitsy tiny numbers instead? I died several times just because I didn't notice I was low on health. 2) Searching for secrets under time pressure. In the worst cases you have to play the entire map again just for another chance to find the last remaining secret within 30 seconds. The maps should be played without quicksaves, but in those cases I made an exception. ... and also for the last bonus map, because
