That's cool but I don't think the gameplay and level design will hold up very well to today's standards. This was basically a Doom 1 type game, but with jumping and maybe full 3D? Or was it 2.5D like Doom where you couldn't have floors over floors?

You actually could have floors over floors, but the game just wouldn’t render them both at the same time.

As for it holding up, Boomer Shooters are in vogue right now. There is a market for these games existing in an accessible way where the player doesn’t have to do a bunch of tweaks to get it running.

I remember I didn't have a mouse and it was fucking hard

I used to be pretty decent with the arrow keys, but once full 3D games like Quake 2 started being standard I had to switch to mouse. I remember I switched to mouse and arrow keys for a long time, then finally went WASD.
