WAD Driver v1

Ever wanted to pretend you were a sentient golf ball travelling through strange places?
Introducing a new, almost unique way to play Doom with -NoMonsters:
WAD Driver
Doom 2 Map15
Alfonzone Map44
Eviternity I Map26
In order to have some form of challenge, you have a limited amount of times you can launch yourself (Strokes) and to gain more, you'll have to fly near Beacons, which typically replace things like Ammo, Medkits, and Armor. (powerups left alone in case they're needed for something)
In addition to gaining more Strokes, Beacons will also heal you because hurt floors still hurt, so try not to land in those. Backpacks also increase the max amount of Strokes you can have.
There's also special Red Progression Beacons which replace Mancubi (Mancubusses?), Arachnotrons, Barons, Cyberdemons and Spider Masterminds for maps that rely on those for progression, as well as special golden Keen beacons for the same reason.
Controls:
Fire/Altfire to Increase/Decrease Power
Zoom to Toggle between Horizontal Power and Vertical Power (this also fires an invisible hitscan to deal with shootable switches)
Jump to launch yourself in the direction you're aiming.
Movement keys to steer yourself while in the air.
Reload to Phase Out Of Existence if you run out of Strokes.
Heavily recommended you play in Chasecam/Third-Person.
Disclaimer:
This probably won't work on every map out there, especially ones with custom scripting. Works best with maps you already know the general layout/progression of. Balanced around Pistol starting every map but continuous play should work too.
Happy April Fools!
