This is a nice showcase of the new texture related features JJ2+ has to offer.
And yes, it looks like something that came out of Doom.
Shores of Desolation
Battle, by Lark,
requires 
The Secret Files, with JJ2+
Description
Originally intended to be part of a level pack but I wanted to release this by itself. This level intends to look and feel like something that came out of Doom 1. Hope you have fun. This was a blast to make.
Thank you Blacky, Sal and Violet!
Please check out the level with JJ2. The preview on J2O doesn’t really work for this. Thanks. :)

One of the most normal of Lark's 2024 levels, without any strange weapon replacements. The pink sands look delicious, or rather lovely, and the background effects set up a nice little underground cave. You'd think pink on red might be hard to distinguish, but the brighter walls and darker skies contrast each other nicely. It's only a shame that the stalagmites rising out of the water don't have reflections of their own, you'd have to use vertically flipped tiles and some non-opaque sprite mode for that. Do the fuel tanks make sense thematically? I don't know, I haven't played Doom 1. But they work for platforming and maybe that's the important thing. Important items (two powerups, two carrots) are distributed at reasonable distances from each other, and there's no superfluous ammo types, though there's maybe room in the level for a few more pickups. I worry, though, that the level is a bit large and doesn't fully know what to do with its space, though the bottom right area with the big fuel tanks is a nice contrast to the rest. Otherwise the layout feels too generic. I like the bottom carrot, though, where you have to jump over the spring a little in order to grab it.
