Well, I did, but it showed up after I got the "test passed" message, and the screen was black and I couldn't fight it (it head butted me, but I took no damage). It's sort of not bad. Some of the antlions in the last room just stood there until I attacked them--others had no problem attacking me once I moved. If you want to try various ways of fighting antlions that don't appear to endlessly spawn, it's worth 5 minutes. For some reason, I didn’t get the antlion guard.

Dear me. Great news. We persuaded the poor Antlion Guard to come home with us. Gave it a bowl of warm milk which went down well. For eats, it likes the occasional nibble on a headcrab so no problem there. It's tucked in nice and cosy in bed now. There is a worry though, it keeps muttering 'mommy' - how big is mommy!? This little jest is more entertaining than the map - for sure. We wouldn’t want that Jeff. Dear me.

You all have undoubtedly saved me many hours of uncontrolled sobbing had I accidentally loaded this map. Thanks! These are very helpful reviews!

Do not bother. As for the Antlion Guard, it was so timid and sad I wanted to take it with me a give it a good home. Dire. Do not bother.

Visuals and Sound
The main area that you reach to fight the final battle had some interesting lighting but that’s all I could say. Nothing to mention about the sound either.

Gameplay
One “find the weapon” moment, one “find the route” moment and then you just fight a few antlions and an antlion guard. With those spoilers out of the way it really didn’t offer anything interesting.

Layout/Design
Too mishmash. One strange room leading to another.

Summary
The real starts has the text “Run, Forrest, Run!” Take that advice and run, just run away from it.
