So, I decided to give this TC a try. It has 32 maps and are divided into 7 chapters. Map 31 is mandatory, but doesn't take long to reach Map 16. I hope my patience will last long enough to beat Chapter 1, at least.

First map has a timesaver in a co-op run. I'll explain it now.

Batman has to get on the train and spend some time running back and forth so the station would transform into a different one, imitating the travel. As soon as Batman get far enough from the entrance, it gets closed using Door Close Stay linedef. If someone blocks it, you can leave the train much faster and just wait for the wall to lower down and reveal the door.

I don't know if ACE Team made it intentionally to prevent enemies from getting anywhere near the train, but it made it impossible to perform this timesaver in a solo run.

I decided to use 2 smoke bombs to kill the Slum Lord by splash damage instead of one bomb because it takes 2 seconds for him to raise up, so I could touch his hotbox directly.

There was an option of what to take after killing him. I decided to pick up an armor instead of a medkit. It's complicated for me to do the planning because VirtualBox cannot handle 3D mode of Doom Builder, so maybe it makes sense to lose some time, but save a bomb instead.

-- Weapons --
Batarangs is a cool pistol replacement. It deals 8, 16, .., or 64 damage per a hit and, since it's a projectile, its damage relies on RNG. Making three batarangs deal more than 150 damage in total is a big pain in the butt.

Smoke Bombs act like rockets, but are thrown on a ballistic trajectory. Guess that's where Blood TC took the code from, for its dynamite weapon.
Maximum capacity is 480 ammo and one bombs takes 40 ammo, so you can have up to 12 bombs. Each weapon gives 4 bombs.

-- Enemies --
Terrorists function exactly as a Former Human, including its bad accuracy. Three variations have 40 hp.

Strake functions as a Demon and his attack is also delayed. Green pants variation has 150 hp.
