Shadow of the Wool Ball is a Doom 2 mod made in the style of a Wolfenstein 3D mod/clone. You play as a business casual hedgehog (not that blue hedgehog) packing firepower to rescue your girlfriend from evil space cats.
The game features custom-made graphics in a crisp, cartoon style, reminiscent of 90s cartoons with an accompanying story/narrative that plays out as you progress. The gameplay and aesthetic are simple but solid and cohesive, as opposed to other mods that mismatch assets all willy-nilly.
The crisp, cartoony, and custom hand-pixeled graphics and smooth animations really give the game its flavor and flair. The music helps set the mood and create tension. It's non-descript on some levels, better on others. Many of the sound effects appear to be custom-made, as well.
You can tell a lot of love went into this game. It was also a well-deserved runner-up for the 2016 Cacowards. I would love to see more from WatchDaToast/MSPaintR0cks!
If SOTWB scratches that itch for you, check out the sequel, Rise of the Wool Ball, with improved level design, features, and more!
