patriotic as this level implies!
Description : It was just like last year's Fourth of July
celebration. You were tagging along with your
friends and fellow Americans, watching the
fireworks go off in the distance, and downing
enough bottles of beer to drown out your own
blood. Suddenly, however, the sparks started to
look... different. They glowed a dark red, and
began falling to the Earth instead of
dissipating. People began to panic as the sparks
landed upon them and set them fully ablaze in an
instant. You, however, stayed resolute. You
knew who was responsible for this: The Legions of
Hell! With your trusty pistol at your side, you
make your way to the nearest fireworks factory --
where your keen senses tell you the demons
reside.
You will not let a bunch of hellspawn ruin the
Fourth of July.

This is a level I designed in less than 24 hours
on the Fourth of July, 2009. After playing
Qingshuo Wang's Rocketeer (ROKETEER.WAD), I was
inspired to make a rockets-only level, and felt
that it would be appropriate to do so on this
particular day. The level uses mainly red,
white, and blue textures, and I even turned the
yellow keys into white keys! I implemented skill
levels on this map, so if you find Ultra-Violence
too hard -- and you just might -- try Hurt Me
Plenty or lower. Your patriotic carnage is set to
the tune of "The Star-Spangled Banner," and
when you win the level, you are treated to
Emanuel Leutze's famous painting, "Washington
Crossing the Delaware." You can even find it in
the level itself if you're eagle-eyed enough.
All in all, I hope you have fun on this level,
and if you're from the United States, have a
happy Fourth of July!
Oh, yeah, and the level does not realistically
or accurately represent an actual fireworks
factory. The title is just something I felt was
appropriate given the idea behind this level.
