Combine Fate is by the same guy and you play as the same character with a similar mod description. Jumping is short and only at the beginning really. If you have trouble loading quick saves, shorten the map title. Forget to add a few things-

I encourage you to play this one through as there are interesting parts after the initial jumping. I imagine the title is a reference to the graphic novel "Watchmen." The character Rorscach sees a dog with it's head split in half by an axe during his psych test. Great fun – very original.

if this was made for half life 1 then even if you die after jumping you can reload your quick save fast…

but on hl2, reloading the game is a pain.

True, but let us hope that nobody wastes their time on making it for HL1!

I try most HL2 mods and make my own mind up about it, but to misjudge a jump, die, then wait while the level reloads is a pain. If that's all the game consist of I shan't bother. Pity, cos I think there is a lot of room for 'mods with a difference'. Likewise.

The images of the cats and the floating island, all destroy any sense of realism. It's not that I hate jumping puzzles, but I hate jumping puzzles where you die EVERY time you miss a ledge. IF you have to go back and start again all the time it becomes very frustrating and boring. Personally I think this is poor level design. This type of level is a perfect example of the designer ignoring most players and designing something only a handfull of players will enjoy. I'm not saying that all levels have to be the same but there has to be a balance between creativity and playability. Perhaps the designer will say <i>"If you can't accomplish the jumps then don't play my levels"</i>. He would be right, I won't bother even testing any of his levels if they are like this. Please feel free to disagree with me. Please allow me to explain. The images of the cats and the floating island, all destroy any sense of realism.

I played for about te minutes and got so frustrated I stopped. It took a very long time to load and as you can see from the console screenshot there seems to be quite a lot of problems. This could be due to engine upgrade changes, I don't know. OK, Not one of my favourite levels but there may be some PP readers who like this type of level.
