Secrets
There are no official secrets in this level.

Bugs
According to the readme file, the sky texture is reversed left to right from its intended orientation.

Speedrunning
Getting 100% kills on the map is impossible, or at least very difficult, since most spider masterminds (in the cages inside the long hallway) are meant as "decoration" and the player isn't supposed to be able to kill them. It might be possible to kill all of them if other monsters are killed with the berserk pack and the ammo is used on the masterminds instead, but it would be extremely long and tedious.

Inspiration and development
Hodek claims that this level was never playtested before its release, as it was too large to run on the 386-based computers available to his friends.

Trivia
According to the readme file, Galaxia contains no mazes, but the sewer area could certainly be described as such.
