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

  Good construction,  different  floor levels  and water  of course.
You can see & kill some monsters in rooms you will reach later, this
is a good way to keep the level in mind. But some rooms have a very,
let's say, 'strange' design...

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

  Most of the  textures are  misaligned.  Since this  is a level for
Heretic, this isn't that  bad like it would be with Doom.  Sometimes
there are  textures totally misplaced,  they don't fit to the others
in the room.   Doors are moving into heaven,  old mistake - still in
many, many levels...
  I think the author did not take a look at ANY texture...

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

  No Tutti-Frutti, Medusa or HOM effect.

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

  A lot!  Yeah, keep an  eye on your ammo!  Sometimes  monsters  are
attacking from  behind etc.  I was always  thinking: 'where the hell
they are coming from?'... anyway, this makes it very hard.
(only tested the 4th skill level)

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

  There are some...  not enough ammo,  could be some more 'unusable'
things... if you like it...

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

  51%

  Worth downloading,  if you like hard  levels with  only a few ammo
things.   This is my first new  Heretic level I played...  so I only
know how to do Doom (2) levels.  But I think this could be done much
better. To the author: please take a look at the textures!
