The '''ouch face''' is one of the [[status bar face]] graphics, meant to be displayed when the [[player]] is shocked by great pain. During normal play it is seen only rarely, and for a long time was considered an almost random occurrence. The release of Doom's [[Doom source code|source code]] made it apparent that the code to display the face was in error, with a reversed logical condition. This results in the face only being displayed if the player ''gains'' more than 20 [[hit point]]s in the same [[tic]] as taking damage.
