The level features a complex network of teleporters and launchers which enable quick movement between different areas.

The demon rune occurs in deathmatch and team deathmatch modes. A Gauss cannon can spawn in the center of the level, and is only accessible from underneath. This map is particularly suited for team gameplay, and possesses distinct red and blue base areas. Haste and invisibility are among power-ups that can spawn at random.
