MAP28: Fly, you fools! is the twenty-eighth map of Blitz: Race Against Time. It was designed by Carton Kobra and uses the music track "Dark" by Kevin Schilder, from Heretic (recreated and recomposed by Aethun).
The level takes place in a dark dungeon where the player is relentlessly pursued by numerous imps and the cyberdemon itself.

Walkthrough[edit]
Essentials[edit]
You begin in a small room containing a super shotgun, a backpack, and several energy cell packs. Move forward into a large hall filled with columns, where most of the imps are located. If you have alerted the cyberdemon, he may teleport into this area. Once you reach the cave-like section, turn right and descend a stepped staircase. Follow the arrows and head toward the eastern part of the level. After passing through a narrow corridor and encountering the cyberdemon again, cross the bridge that connects the western and eastern parts of the map.
Climb the staircase toward a white light, where you will find the BFG9000, ammo for it, a megasphere, the level's exit, and a teleporter back to the starting room.

Trivia[edit]
- The location in the level is visually reminiscent of the setting from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring film, specifically the underground halls of Moria, where Gandalf confronts the Balrog. The architecture, dark atmosphere, and the presence of a bridge all evoke that iconic scene.
