As a quick FYI, the zip includes a textfile containing hints and tips for anyone who happens to get stuckified.

I was originally going to put custom music with this but was unsure whether or not I was allowed to use a MIDI I didn't write myself (though with permission of course), so I held off on it. For those interested, the track's here:

I actually did try and write one of my own, but it ended up going unfinished and didn't really suit the mood of the map anyway. Here's a link to the WIP for funsies:

That red arena was really cool but the button puzzle was INFERNAL! :( I really liked the extensive architecture and how the yard transformed once you flipped the switches in the central fort. It was also hard to figure out where to go after getting the yellow key. Overall, this is a really impressive level but I wish you would have used your own music.

P.S. I like plasma too.

damn, this is really cool! ditto what cce said about the architecture and the transformation of the main yard. I thought the whole red key complex was very difficult--it took me so many tries to kill the cyberdemons, and then so many tries to get the red key (it didn't help that I was using a crappy mouse that decided to twirl me around at apparently random moments). overall, this is a great map, and one that I had a lot of fun playing despite the difficulty
