Anonymous	I liked this. Not a lot, but I liked it. On a technical level it's a mixed bag, with misaligned textures but some good lighting effects. The layout is cramped and mazey, with lots of wandering about, but there's usually something to shoot or look at. There are lots of rockets, which is silly because there's not enough room to fire them. As the other reviewer notes, one part of the map is inescapable if you raise part of the floor before falling down a hole (which is easily done).	x
Anonymous	Good: Decent action; A few clever traps; Some nice lighting. Bad: UGLY texture misalignments; Became stuck and had to NOCLIP out of one area; Too dark at points; Too much ammo. Overall: An okay map brought down by some annoying issues. 2/5 -VV	x

Misc. Author info.      : this is my 16th level (14th for Doom). The
                          title for it comes from the fact that I read
                          somewhere that the star epsilon eridani is the
                          closest star to our own that is of the same type
                          (a G class star). It is therefore believed that
                          if there were to be intelligent life somewhere
                          else in the universe, it might be here as this
                          type of star may have an earth-like planet around
                          it.

Feedback is appreciated, especially about
                          the difficulty and/or the layout. I am interested
                          to know what you think about the layout, the
                          choice of textures, set up of rooms, traps, etc.
                          In terms of difficulty, I am only one guy and
                          so it is not easy to judge the difficulty of the
                          level. Too easy, too hard?
