Timeline

Flash Death v1.0

Pretty slick small arena, with the hill on a small island, surrounded by lava. Nice sniper perches.

Hiroshima Mon Amour v1.3

A larger, rambling level. You start on an outer, elevated ring, that cannot be returned to without some judicious SPNKer jumping. On the main floor, lots of constructs break up the line of fire, and provide hiding places... but secret doors and teleporters give access to all parts of the map very quickly, so there isn't much safety. Playable with two people (a little slow), but really comes into its own with 4 or more. Comes in two versions-with and without baddies. Update adds a third version of the map, this time with H-Bomb explosions to add to the ambience.

Mark's Maps

Three maps. Basically simple, but very nicely done. Shoot the Curl is pretty simple-two identical rooms connected by an s-turn. Most ammo is underwater. Lots to hide behind. Ring of Power is a pretty cool 5-D map that takes a little time to get the hang of... but works really well, once you do. 4-Gun Clover is pretty well named... there's a ledge around the outside of the cloverleaf, and a cross cut into the center of it... all ammo is in the cross, which can be filled with PfhorSlime. Only 8 shotguns, max, so this one's really designed for smaller groups. Plays quite nicely, even on slow...

Pfhor Flight

Wow, this puppy is BIG. I don't mean lots of polys, I mean BIG - 34,000 units (in Pfhorte), top to bottom. (That's roughly equivalent to 235 feet, or 72 meters.) And it's mostly in one room... The hill is waaaay up high, a tiny little platform hanging in the wind. There are some very narrow, short columns waaaay down from here, with lots and lots and lots of goodies on them... but hitting them (especially when getting shot at) is quite difficult. One thing's for sure... you'll never run out of ammo - there should always be tons of SPNKR and shotgun ammo ar...

Pit of Darkness

Sort of a takeoff of Everyone's Mortal... except with a shorter hill, and more easily predicted transporters. In longer games, fighting will narrow down to shotguns and missile launchers (no other weapons will have ammo). Getting around is really easy...

Shane's House

Exactly what it sounds like. (Except for the aliens, I hope.) A little rough around the edges (probably could have used the snap-to-grid feature of Pfhorte a bit more), but playable-no major problems. I'd have to disagree with the difficulty rating listed in the readme-I had no trouble clearing the level on Normal, first time through, with plenty of ammo to spare. Kinda fun, though... all the big baddies are in big, wide-open rooms, giving you room to maneuver.

Temple Phelsuma v1.8

A very nice temple, with catacombs (filled with sewage) running underneath. Good attention to detail... will run a bit slow on slower machines (due to the large amount of open space). Update fixes a platform bug, and tweaks the term and bob placement.

The Pfhirm v3.0

Modeled after the author's workplace. Straightforward carnage... there is a way to get the flamethrower, and don't go out the windows... there's no way back in.
