Project POD - The Madness Continues

[snapshot]

 

"You've returned"

 

Project POD is a project I've been working on for Doom 2, now updated with additional features, better scripting and more! It is a series of platforming levels with a few RPG elements, each level is themed differently and features different sets of gimmicks inspired by Classic 2D platformers (conveyor belts, water puzzles, slippery floors...etc)

 

Gameplay:

Spoiler

You start out in a hub level, here you can either take the training courses before you begin or purchase weapons, powerups, upgrades...etc between levels, each time you complete a level you earn 1 token (max 2 at a time) which you can use to enter 1 chance rounds, another series of smaller tough levels that are presented as mini-games, completing them will reward you with 1 power coin which you can use in the hub to earn unique power-ups, failing them will bring you back to the hub with no reward. Combine your skills and use your power-ups effectively to complete all levels!

Thank you! the second floor currently only has 1 level, but I feel like the current state with a total of 19 levels of varied themes and gimmicks is not bad, I will continue to expand on it over time with additional levels.
