Hi,

This is my entry for the Planet Half Life level design contest.

Notes about the level:

The Idea -  In case you're curious, I used to be an avid reader of "The Phantom" comic strip by Lee Falk.  
The Phantom had his headquarters in a Skull Cave (sort of like the Bat Cave) so I wanted to create something 
similar for my level.  I also really like Radiskull and Devil Doll so I thought a big skull with glowing red 
eyes would be a fitting tribute.

I think the map is pretty self explanatory while playing but here are some hints in case you're not sure what's
going on in certain areas of the map.  

Play Tips
1.  To rapidly get to the top of the tower stand on one of the 3 raised triangular stones just below the tower
    then jump.
2.  The force field/membrane will allow weapon fire to pass through in both directions but players can only pass
    through it in one direction.  If you are on the underwater side of the forcefield remember that only certain 
    weapons will function while you are underwater.
3.  To make the skull's eyes glow and sound to play you need to go to about the midway point of the ramp that leads
    into the skull's mouth.

I think that's about it.  There are no secret areas in the map. 

The PHL logo is located on the top floor of the stone corridor area.  I tried to make it so that the player would 
think the logo looks really cool when they first come across it.

I hope you have a lot of fun playing the level!

P.S.  If any game industry professional reading this thinks that I have some design potential after playing through 
my map, then by all means please contact me. I'm looking for any advice and tips so that I can achieve my goal of 
being a level designer in the game industry.
