E2M5: So this is the point where any semblance of Boom compatibility goes out the window. Despite using only Boom voodoo doll scripting, you just won't be able to get past the starting door unless you use GZDoom. As for the level itself: props to you for trying to do something creative with voodoo dolls Sarais, but you just don't clearly telegraph what you're supposed to do with the marine standing there. I ended up crouching underneath the door my first time through before I actually looked at what he was doing in the map editor. It is fairly creative having to guide the voodoo doll throughout the level before blasting him into the secret exit, just incredibly unclear, and I don't think there's really any way to tell the player what to do here short of putting in a custom picture telling them what to do. Otherwise this is a gimmick map focused around rocketing Barons to death. Not very remarkable outside of the voodoo doll stuff.

E2M9: Like Fortress of Mystery, only the Cacos and Barons are separated apart and it sucks. Also you telefrag a Mastermind. Next.

E2M6: Ok seriously, if you're going to throw hoards of cacodemons at the player, at least have the decency to provide a rocket launcher so it isn't tedious as shit trying to get through the hoard. For some reason, Sarais really loves punching and chainsawing Cacos in this wad, and he merges this newfound love of his with his old love of placing way too much ammo and health than needed, to mixed effect. The visual vomit comes mainly in the color of red this time around; seriously, look at this screenshot, it's pretty bad. You can't see it from there, but those holes in the ground are more of those void openings that Sarais is so damn fond of for some reason. I don't know why this level bugged me so much compared to the previous levels; maybe I'm just resentful that a supposedly vanilla styled mapset is forcing me to use GZDoom.
