Hello. More exploring through PC Zone lvl finalist maps. This one is Tone2 and it's been made by Tony Jull. It's a little bit more spacious map with a bit random type of setting, but it's quite short in length.

• Visually on the basic side. There's a bit of randomness going on in this one. While there's an occasional random choice (like super-high switch by the lava), few of the locations look more solid, while some others not so much.
Some effort has gone into lighting. The maze had few decent lights built there, for example.
• Difficulty is easy. Not much to add to it other than it being mostly the usual case of running and gunning. A bit of a trap by Mega-armor, but quite a mellow one at that.
• Ammo balance is quite alright. You get more ammo at start, but later on you get much less, so at that point those are given more as drops. Chainsaw becomes quite useful to battle potential shortage of ammo.
• Hp / armor balance feel favorable towards player by a good deal, as the monsters aren't going to get that many hits on the player.

And then we have some odd stuff, but don't really have any proper problems.
• Secrets aren't secrets, but just progression points. Feels odd to even include those triggers.
• Yellow Key hardly felt necessary
• One-time use for one of the 'Red Doors' that can be opened by crossing a line, and on the other side you teleport back to near start. Feels like more of a trapping door, but then the requirement for key wouldn't be needed.
• Approaching exit ends the level, instead of using the wall, which comes as a surprise. Although you're most likely done with everything, in general it didn't feel like being the best execution of an exit.

But yeah, the level seems to work well enough and it's a rather quick one as well. Nothing too fancy from '94, just a few unusual choices here and there.
