Some more thoughts:

>Undying Manor
I liked the details such as the table or the hanging pictures. The first Archvile fight where you just press buttons to spawn Archviles felt too easy, I think it would be better if some other enemies spawned too, or there were more corpses of other monsters like Chaingunners so you cannot focus on the Archvile only. I'd also say there should be one more shellbox given in this area, because I ended up (twice) having no shells to fight the Archviles near the exit, and killing them with the Chaingun in that room sucks. You could also put some more rockets at the end or in the slime area so you have something to kill all those Hell Knights and Cacodemons with.

>Sisyphus' Chrysalises
Peak onion map, simple but genius idea.

>Southwest Frag
It's just one arena, but it's a good one. The variety of enemies and sometimes seemingly random teleports make for some unpredictable fights. I think the secret invulnerability is too much, I'd leave it on the easy or easy/medium difficulties only. There could be also some more enemies spawned once you get that secret, because I ended up finding it after finishing the fight so it was useless.

>House of Fun
Short and sweet, nothing bad to say about this one.

>Eversion
Really cool gimmick and puzzles, the fan floor room is certainly a memorable moment. The midi gave the map a somewhat eerie atmosphere which fit it well. My main complaint would be that there's too much health in the map, so it goes from being challenging to being too easy.

>The Creature From Plaque Lagoon
Great atmosphere and design, the fights were fun too. Only issue I've noticed is that there's a HOM visible inside the mouth shown on the screenshot when it opens and releases a Cacodemon, but once it stops moving the HOM disappears.

>Live Complex
The fights are good, but the map looks really bland due to the uniform texturing and lighting. I like that there's some variety with the red and the slime room though.
