THE EARTH IMPLODES
2020's "COVID" lockdown brings with it some new found free time for many. Benvolio has applied this free time to the creation of a Keen1 mod called "The Earth Implodes". Following a traditional Keen style narrative, it involves a plot by Mortimer McMire - Keen's arch-nemesis - to assemble unprecedented nuclear weapons by combining abandoned technology from the old USSR, with the nuclear physics acumen of alien races across the galaxy.
Like Benvolio's last mod, this is quite a difficult one. However this time it's not because of awkward pogo jumps and aggressively placed fires, but rather because of enraged sentries, crazed robots and decrepit, nihilistic wraiths which lurk in the bunkers and caves of abandoned Soviet towns.
Please note that a new version - version 1.1 - has been released following comments about an excessive level of difficulty from players. A few minor errors in the game have also been amended.
Features
- A novel approach to palette making

- For the first time, Benvolio has dabbled with Spleen's excellent KeenFx tool - so sounds have been modded too
