Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
Facing a wall at first, quickly turn around. A cyberdemon is seen behind a plentiful amount of powerups behind them, which includes invulnerability, megaspheres, soul spheres, berserk packs and blur artifacts. Grab the powerups, and defeat the cyberdemon with any weapon. Head to your east; go inside the tunnel seen to your left and open the big door seen inside it. With invulnerability, dash through a cluster of cyberdemons and Wolfenstein SS until you reach a teleporter located northwest.
Now in a completely different room with spiderdemons and sergeants spammed everywhere, quickly head inside a room seen to your left. Inside it lies 16 Commander Keens; kill all of them to open a door seen to your left. After getting through a short tunnel, you'll now find yourself in a maze-like room, filled with multiple impassable decorative objects. An arch-vile and a revenant are seen near both directions. There are two switches seen to the far left and far right. Kill the arch-vile and revenant during your way through them, and flick both buttons. They will open a gate, which reveals three Romero's heads; kill them with any weapon to finish the level.
Other points of interest[edit]
An alternative way to kill the Romero's heads in the end is by a crusher, which is activated by a button seen to the left of the room. It may take a while though, as the crusher moves very slowly.

Technical information[edit]
Due to use of the Commander Keen door-opening action, the map cannot be completed in no-monsters mode. This is by design.
Inspiration and development[edit]
"Fortress of Moooo!" was inspired by the 1994 level style of maps found in D!ZONE compilation discs, and deliberately includes several tropes lifted directly from them:
- Monsters glued together due to haphazard placement.
- Extreme overuse of boss monsters, with equally imbalanced placement of power-ups.
- Total neglect of texture alignment, and use of textures in materially inappropriate ways.
- Use of Wolfenstein SS outside Wolfenstein 3D-styled maps.
- Wanton abuse of Commander Keen.
- Wanton abuse of John Romero.
- Use of blocking decorative objects such as columns and torches to form mazes, instead of two-sided walls.
