Remix
=======================================================
This is a remix of Galang. It has less ammo and
different item placement. Also, some minor bugfixes were made.
=======================================================
Description
=======================================================
Small, tourney map for fast and furious duels.
I focused on gameplay, item balance, etc. The look was not so much important to me so the map isn't stunning in terms of visuals. But it is good enough IMHO. Looks almost like Raven/Id levels, but (hopefully) plays a lot better. Also, it has got lower system requirements :)
