Birthday Wedgie is a single-level PWAD for Boom-compatible source ports and Doom II, released in December 2021. It was created by Matt Powell (cannonball) as an homage to the 28th anniversary of Doom. Taking inspiration from Bloody Experience and its project, it was built in about two hours and features thirty monsters. It uses the MIDI piece "Arachnobus Mayhem" by PRIMEVAL.

Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
You start in an alcove on the south side of the map. As you leave the alcove you will draw the attention of a cyberdemon, who will continually teleport between three elevated areas while firing rockets at you.
Take the path to the right, which will take you around the map counter-clockwise and pit you against shotgun guys, chaingunners and revenants. Make good use of cover, as the cyberdemon and other enemies can have an easy shot at you from the other side of the map. There are some weapon, health and armor pickups along the way which will be easy for you to spot and pick up.
Once you follow the path completely around the map, you will be able to pick up the blue keycard on the south side of the map. This will immediately open a monster closet with an arch-vile and a few other enemies, as well as an additional closet full of cacodemons.
With the blue key, run back to the south-eastern corner of the map along the path to open the blue door there and press the switch. This will lower the platform in the center area with blue water, allowing you to pick up the red keycard. From the red key, go to the western side of the center area to find the red door. Run past the arch-vile and baron of Hell that are behind the door to get to the exit switch.
Other points of interest[edit]
Secrets[edit]
- On the high ledge to the left of the start, look north and shoot the switch. Go to the south-east end of the map to get boxes of rockets and a supercharge. (sector 88)
