Reviews:

Zahid	Its a visually basic map with catchy gameplay	x
Anonymous	Not bad at all. It's always a very good sign when an author pays attention to gameplay balance. Cosmetic effects can always been improved with time and effort, but understanding how to make gameplay fair and challenging is a skill some otherwise highly accomplished mappers lack.	x
Anonymous	Rather pointless. It's Eeva's first map, so... His/her later maps are much better. Look for hellagen.wad!	x
Anonymous	This Wad has promise for a first effort. However, some textures seem out of place, random and misaligned and the gameplay is frankly awful (and in my opinion lets the whole thing down) There were some nicer looking areas, like the main outdoor area. The staircase plonked in the middle of the room?? bad idea! You seem to also be stuck choosing a theme for the level.	x
Anonymous	Ain't that bad as the other review says.	x
Anonymous	Went from good to suck rather quickly	x

NOTE: There is also a Doom I -version of this wad! Look for garden.wad... (That's the original one. It's basically the same, but it has Doom I -textures and monsters in it.)

Because this is the first wad I ever made, it became a bit linear, so it probably won't be a very good deathmatch level. It's designed for single player game.

This wad has been tested on Doom II v.1.666, on a Pentium 120, and on a 120 Mhz 486. I cannot promise that it will work on any other version of Doom, or that it will be playable on slower computers. Let's hope for the best.
