Trials of Koohoo

My second quake map. Finally done with it. Happy to be done with it. I first started working on this last year a few weeks after my first release 'The Pharaoh's Cage'. I was working on this level diligently at the time, but I got distracted by some new games that released at the time, Doom The Dark Ages being one of them. And then my habit of working on this got worse. I messed around with it every so often throughout the year but would always stop in favor of some game I wanted to play.

In the new year I decided to finish the level as fast as possible without thinking about the quality. Unfortunately I couldn't be so callous with it and ended up giving it my best effort. Despite that the level still feels incomplete to me, especially aesthetically. But I've already put enough time into this so I'm content with releasing it as it is.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I had the pleasure of putting it together for YOU. Thank you for playing.

This map really blew me away! I haven't played much levels that can put a puzzle sequence in like that and make it feel unique. Some of the enemy encounters were a little on the hard side, but the overall package was nice and refreshing. Excited to see your future levels!

Fun level, but a bit amateurish :p

Hard
Excellent idea about the map/structure, but the gameplay looks incomplete, or it missed something.
Thank you for your labor and time.
