Hydrosphere is a six-level Boom-compatible WAD for Doom II, designed by Brian Irving (Bri) and released on May 3, 2022. It includes new graphics and custom textures from the 32in24-15tex and Jimmytex texture packs. The mapset is themed around a hydroelectric plant, with a visual emphasis on water, foliage and concrete structures, giving it a distinct look reminiscent of the techbase style. All maps are relatively short in length and feature a comparatively easy level of difficulty.
