A marble/vine maze, where you balance on small ledges, making up walls to a maze below you (which you will also need to traverse). The map is confusing, as everything looks the same, there's no logical progression, the fights are awkward, with slim ammo and the player having to fend off monsters above and below (you're commonly blocked by a monster you can't see). Even the ending, jumping into a hurtful ooze pit with monsters, is shoddy. Skip it. --1/5

Greetings, fellow doomsters, and welcome to my first ever Doom level, 
created with DEU, that little wonder of a program...
(Now if they could only fix that Hall of Mirrors trouble...^_^ {sigh)

ANYway, I hope you like this first effort, because I'm already working
on the second one, and I just can't deal with rejection...;-)

Oh, by the way, the Email address' is not mine, cuz I ain't got no
internet axis, know wut I mean? It's my roomate, and he's been kind
enough to let me use it to post this, so I give him a big mental hug.

There.

Description:

Chinese folklore has it that Hell is a maze, where one is given a final
choice: Red, or Black?
(Taken from a french comic book called: The Mad Monk)

Beign a sucker for mazes, I really wanted to create a 3d one for my 
favourite PC game. While this is still a far cry from a real 3d one
(Doom engine forbid), being really a two-level maze (3-level in one part),
it is the closest I came to my original vision, which was similar to the 
vision of Hell presented in Hellraiser II (a badly acted film that had
amazing art direction), that of a maze of narrow galleries surrounded
by deep, deadly pits full of atrocities.

The name Ninja refers to what state of mind you need to complete this
level: silent, deadly, lurking in shadows high above, crossing tightropes
without a sweat, etc., etc. If you can do this level with a joystick, then
you know you've got a good, precise one!
