Yeah, the crawlspace in the break room threw me off for a bit, but I figured something HAD to be in there as otherwise I had just hit a dead end with nowhere else to go. I just took a moment, looked around, and eventually noticed it. Just gotta think a little bit, that's all. :3

Oh god this is delicious oh yes oh god give it to me all of this obscure DOS fps weirdness is so perfect

I like how certain weapons are effective on certain enemies, adds a weird RPG touch to it all. Also all of the Exploding Lips resources are just the icing on the cake. Really nailed it with this one.

After getting the hourglass of good, does the game end? I'm sort of stuck at the part when you teleport and kill all of those TV men, there's pillars that look like they have to be lowered and I can't go anywhere.

Oh and if I might add a humble suggestion: Have some sort of cheesy teleporting sound for the floating evil books? It's difficult to see that they're teleporting and more like they're just flickering in and out.

EDIT: Nevermind the hourglass issue, played the recent version. My god that was a trip.

Neat touch of weirdness and some obscure shit. Pretty solid on gameplay, at least on my end. Felt kinda anti-climatic at the end, though.

Liked that one spell, what was it... Monkey swarm? Probably funniest attack, in my opinion.

Some enemies get stuck on places, especially those french toasties. The room where you got that artifact lamp, where that wall opens, toasties couldn't get out at all.

Some of the puzzles felt rather too easy on my end, only very few gave me "what next?" feeling. That puzzle where you had to return those kings was good. Felt it was somehow relevant, even if the feeling was distant. :)
Also:
Never trust lamps.

Fantastic job! I just finished a playthrough and enjoyed every moment of it.

I'm actually the guy who recorded that Exploding Lips video back in 2011, so I'm glad to see others have also been entranced by the wonderfully baffling enigma that is Exploding Lips. Having played the original, I'd say you were spot in in capturing the spirit of the original game. The extracted resources were a great touch.

Oh hey, it's Marphy Black! Such a ringing endorsement pretty much demands that I go play this immediately.

...right after I get home from class tomorrow. Curse this college education. =P

I think I'm addicted to getting coins, which don't always show up if you kill an enemy with any other weapon.

Oh hey, thanks for playing! Interesting to see you here. :V

I'm not entirely sure how a wad like THIS should end, puzzles were suppose to be easy, and fixed toasties. xP

Some enemies only drop coins when they enter XDeath state, boomerang has +EXTREMEDEATH on it. I figured if somebody had the patience to kill something with such a weak weapon, they should be awarded. =P

Anywho, all I need to do now is get some sprite work finished and do a playthrough on hardest difficulty and it's ready for /idgames!

Anyways, this will probably be my last Doom .WAD, I've been recently trying out .pk3s and I'll be using it for future mods of mine.

This is just about the most wacked out, batshit insane thing that ever dared to not call itself a joke wad, and I love every second of it. My favorite part is the random Jim Cummings outtakes.

Ehh..I don't want to frighten you too much Jack, but both times I've tried playing this the whole thing froze up: the first time I was on my home computer and the second time on my laptop. I'm not using the latest version of ZDoom, but that shouldn't cause a complete freeze-up like it did. :/

uhh...sorry to say, that's gonna work. this mod is already using a doom engine of course and you can make this mod into a full bloody by adding a ketchup mod.
