You will need a bit of patience with this one 😇

      I beat it by kiting some of the shotgunners to come past the imps. 3 Easy kills.

      The hit boxes appear to be huge. I got it just by turning and shooting from the starting position.

      Fun, but a relatively simple script could likely be developed to solve these.

        It’s more that my phone is quite literally tiny. 3" screen, 480x854

            Unihertz Jelly Star. I wanted a modern phone smaller than my pixel 3. Seemed to be the only viable option at the time. It’s crazy how big phones are now, even the compact ones are bigger than what I class as a big phone

              huh neat, I didn’t know that was a thing! I’m tempted because I feel like I’d be less inclined to doomscroll on it, which seems like a feature rather than a bug.

              it seems kinda thick though, do you think it’s more comfy in a pocket despite that?

                It’s more comfy in the pants despite the thickness.

                Think about how much a thin but big phone sticks out when placed on a cylinder. This has less surface area that’s touching your leg so you barely feel it.

                Doom scrolling can still happen on this phone like but it does make certain stuff just make me want to wait till I’m at a computer to do it instead, like shopping and whatnot. So I find that a plus, somewhat.

              Yeah, I wish my phone was a bit smaller, but it’s already on par or smaller than most of the industry (Pixel 8).

    No WASD, no strafe, not fair.

    I got it by running around the imps and going for the grunts (all enemies are “monsters” in Doom)

      Reposting from my other reply: There is strafe actually, even two ways of doing it, using original DOS bindings: < and > or alt + left/right arrow. For me the easiest way to do it without strafe is just to move forward a bit, then go back and wait for dudes to come in from the right. Dealing with imps is really hard since their fireballs are sped up significantly. I tried a bit more and it seems it’s possible to actually beat this level properly. You can get other weapons and powerups. It’s just really hard with speed mode and nightmare difficulty.

      Honestly, the easiest way is to move forward a bit. The imps can’t hit you, and the grunts will come toward you, so it becomes a shooting gallery instead of you being in a bullet hell.

    Is there any strategy for this level apart from kiting the enemies into your line of sight while you are shielded from the centre cube? Maybe the WAD could be tweaked. Cool project though!

      One fun and moderately easy strategy is running into forward tunnel all the way down into the pit, killing a sergeant for a shotgun, running through acid into the room with health and pickups on the left, and then killing 2 more imps. PS: I’m doing it with strafe through (< and > or alt + arrows).

    Too many imps in the center square. Too easy to just get ganged with fireballs. I found that I needed to hang out in the hallway and get the marines that were coming in.

    WTF? Is this Nightmare difficulty? Just how many enemies are crammed in the hallways here.

    I get that this is a joke project. But, if you were to reduce the difficulty to some common denominator, it could actually be a viable CAPTCHA. Then again, there’s already good AI bots that could dominate this.

    I tried going straight, but after a while I noticed there’s actually an invisible pinky over there.

    Also is the sound too high, or is it just me not rememberering right?

      The sounds are completely different and I’m not sure where they’re sourced from.

      This is the way. You only need 3 kills, so there’s no need to deal with the caged grunts in any way whatsoever.
