MAP14: Portal Control is the fourteenth map of Blitz: Race Against Time. It was designed by Artem Orekhov (DukeOfDoom) and uses the music track "I Sawed the Demons" by Robert Prince, from Doom. The par time defined in ZMAPINFO is 30 seconds.
The level begins in a space station, with several interconnected teleporters located in the northern section. These are essential for quickly collecting the colored keys.

Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
From the start, head straight toward a switch, picking up a super shotgun, blue armor, a berserk, and a chaingun along the way. Occasionally, a Hell knight may teleport in. Activating the switch lowers two lifts on the western and eastern sides of the level, providing access to the yellow and red keys, respectively.
- Red Key:
Taking the lift to the eastern side leads to a dark room with two lost souls. The red keycard is located to the left. If the player ventures deeper into the room, a column containing a revenant will lower, and a window to the central area will open. Picking up the key will trigger the opening of a door corresponding to its color.
- Yellow Key:
Taking the lift on the western side brings the player to an outdoor room with an open sky, containing the yellow keycard, a cacodemon, and a revenant. A rocket launcher can be found at the revenant's position.
Once all colored keys have been collected, proceed to the southern section of the level. There, the player will find a plasma rifle and a switch that lowers the gates to a timed 30-second door.
