Doom II - Fruit Salad (Blind Ultra-Violence 100%)

[@Santi-nn1gj]

Hey decino! I'm so surprised that my pick got chosen! I've been a superfan of yours for two and a half years, and you're one of the only youtubers that never lets me down! Keep up the good work!👏

[@decino]

Thanks for the submission. Truly a hidden gem I had no clue existed. Loved the palette, music and gameplay in this one.

[@Jurarigo]

Never noticed how satisfying is to BFG a dozen of arachnotrons, those crunchy sounds make it delectable.

[@hellhell8508]

So juicy to

[@baxter22071990]

Same with a rocket to a group of imps/former humans

[@FerretWarlord1]

The only monster I prioritize because I find the wandering noise they make to be obnoxious. Their death sound heralds relaxing silence for me.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

It's also the loudest death sound in the entire game. It'll overtake any other sound if you kill an arachno and another monster simultaneously.

[@BigMacDavis]

Map06 looks fun as hell. Thank you for going above and beyond with these submissions.

[@ravenlikeadesk]

Very nice playthrough, I was happy to see fruit salad make it through submissions and it's cool that you decided to play the whole thing. Not sure if you noticed (at least you didn't comment on it), but the visual gimmick of this wad is that palette changes between the maps - all projectiles, pickups and enemy sprites change their colour - e.g. hellknight projectiles are purple in map 01, blue in map 02 and pink in map 03. And this is the magic part, because normally you can't have multiple palettes in one wad :) The trick that fruit salad pulls off is to instead create custom colormaps that switch the colours around in the palette and then apply these colormaps with Boom fake floor line action to the whole map. The result is a really unique wad, GoS is an incredibly creative mapper.

[@decino]

I didn't notice until I was editing the video and checked the DW thread for the track names. Very cool stuff!

[@Shepardus]

I've played Fruit Salad several times and never noticed that... really cool, much more subtle than your typical custom colormap.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

I did notice the colour changes, but had no idea how the swaps were made. An absolute slam dunk in aesthetics that only Ribbiks' partner in Wormwood could have come up with.

[@near5148]

​@@decinoI'm hungry

[@DinnerForkTongue]

This wad is quite a fruit salad of palettes. So many distinct recolors for familiar sprites.

[@iguana9173]

I immediately thought of the children’s song of the same name from the wiggles when I saw the title. Fruit salad yummy yummy.

[@FrostedPoke]

YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY FRUIT SALAAAAAD!

[@justaadhdgamerwesley6244]

WAKE UP JEFFF

[@jojo0753]

I remember watching that in primary (elementary) school

[@iguana9173]

@@jojo0753 me too.

[@zenchost4216]

And I immediately thought of Slipknot remix. Fruid salad~ Yummy yummy~ I DID MY TIME AND I WANT OUT.

[@seriousleon]

This wad has so many interesting textures like health bonuses and projectiles, I'm definitely downloading this one

[@vonBelfry]

For some reason, I find the idea of Doomguy running a corner into a bajillion demons he wasn't expecting and getting overrun while yelling "MISTAKES WERE MADE! MISTAAAKES!" pretty funny.

[@edge3220]

That Kid Chameleon clear screen and music was a fun touch.

[@HerbziCal]

Plus the Kid Chameleon diamond pick ups!

[@chuckyb3211]

I came to comment that was kid chameleon clear screen lol glad to see ppl knowing the classics..

[@zharrrhen]

Turning a 1 map viewer submission into an entire wad play through is peak high effort content.

[@DLockholm]

Short, bursty, puzzle-like, good-looking wad? Don't mind if I do After a ravaging amount of extremely long maps where you have to grind for hours, this was certainly a much need breath of fresh air

[@dreadwanderer]

A spur of the moment decision to play all the maps, resulting in a great video. Tough no doubt but they got a very endearing quirkiness. I also love the palette!

[@__julio__]

those health bonuses look like diamonds from the genesis game Kid Chameleon. Edit: Yeah, the map completion screen is the level completion screen from Kid Chameleon, so confirmed, Edit 2: Yeah even the OST. Nice

[@joe-31]

can confirm

[@SkullKingofCarpathia]

Woo!!! More Decino! Thanks for playing the whole pack, it's nice for these special instances when you can

[@RussianSevereWeatherVideos]

The music in MAP06 is so dang good, combined with the level looks and palette it makes for a very cozy experience.

[@TheBrutalDoomer]

Never seen a wad changing its palette from one level to another. From one juicy satisfying palette to another.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

All done through Boom chicaneries too.

[@lainboss8233]

I like that your able to somewhat check out the map before waking the enemy’s

[@IOSALive]

decino, You're the best! I just had to subscribe!

[@RNorthex]

Love this wad. Short, bursty challenge maps I really dig, also great palette, music, and I'm a sucker for snowy themes. Glad you decided to play the whole thing, one of my favorite playthroughs of yours!

[@fender_ketchup]

This would be a great wad for a -fast run!

[@ULTRAOutdoorsman]

Laughed out loud when you found the other half of MAP06 with like a gajillion cells and megaspheres

[@Nob1ej0n]

Wow, that was a slick wad. When it was over, I was saddened because I thought you were only three or four levels in. I'd say it needs more maps, but there's something to be said for short and sweet map packs. I agree that the chill music was a great touch. And the palette was really nice. I especially liked those blue imp faces in MAP05. Creepy!

[@StillTheVoid]

I'm so glad I wasn't the only who stumbled upon the Fruit Salad Map Pack by Grain of Salt. I think this wad pays homage of the Unreal Tournament Monster Hunt maps of the early 2000s. If you listen closely, there are songs that are taken from other IPs such as Sonic 3's Ice Cap Zone. What a Treat; thanks again Decino for finally giving this map pack a try. 😁🎄🎄❄❄

[@theshep]

love this and love the channel pumpkin man!

[@TheSquareOnes]

Those arachno popping sounds in the last map are so satisfying. Really neat little wad, glad he ran through the whole thing.

[@demogorgonzola]

We got a combo, awesome! And the maps themselves are very cool, indeed - worthy of playing in full. Also, an Xmas wad that flew under the radar, adding to my list, thanks for showing it off :)

[@zeusstormbolt8116]

This is a beautiful wad. Thanks for showing the whole of it Papa-cino!

[@DoktorDeth]

this submission was pretty awesome! Loved the unique color palette and gameplay!

[@gerrywinzor1103]

That was a very satisfying WAD pack. Good choice for the submitter and good on you, Decino, for giving the whole pack a chance They were the perfect length and difficulty for blind play

[@tukes1234]

Every time you ever say this isn't that interesting? You are a way better player than I could ever aspire to be watching you. Play things that I would never be able to do without cheating. It's always interesting.❤

[@AzureKaioshin]

This is like getting one of those 2D shifting square puzzles from the dentist's office when I was a kid but in DOOM format. I rather like this

[@Kingdramana]

Oh that spider killing massacre sound! That was so satysfing.

[@DooshieV]

This was a great submission. I loved how the color palette seemed to change with each map. I'm guessing that's what the palette add-on was for. The level design looks great also. Short and punchy combat puzzles. Heck, I think I'm gonna go download this right now and try it out. Shout-out to Pumpkin Man, the person who submitted, and Grain of Salt for creating / turning me on to this gem. ❤

[@jonathan19947]

I'm glad you're back Decino

[@Razgard]

This was exciting! I'm still impressed by the creativity of mappers. "Short but punchy" is a great formula.

[@studhouser6969]

Really like this one! Enjoy how each stage was like a little combat puzzle where your top priority was how to start and what to prioritize.

[@theshep]

beautiful wad, beautiful commentary. thanks decino!

[@steubens7]

took the Kid Chameleon end screen for me to figure out what's going on even though the diamonds were right there. yea they're all gonna be short :)

[@zbynekchmela7778]

That was great! Thanks for playing entire wad.

[@kulrigalestout]

This was a fun birthday present, even if it was entirely coincidence. Thanks, decino!

[@andrakissol-terra1079]

Cool, thanks to this cursed title i'm going to be earwormed with the Wiggles every day for the next few months as i use your 'videos' page as my entrance portal to youtube...

[@party4keeps28]

The screen between levels is like Kid Chameleon on the Sega Genesis. Oh, and the diamond pickups too!

[@Muladeseis]

I liked the projectiles colors and the puzzle thing, with all the enemies being dormant, so you can choose your strategy.

[@TeaAndFloppyDisks]

Wow, this looks like a great set of mini maps! I will have to check it out ^^

[@XenoSpyro]

That outro christmas track is the exact one used for Nuclear Winter's fourth map.

[@Zerodius1]

Wow, this WAD makes me want to try making a new map again... I've been having this notion that maps have to be like 10+ minutes long but it was so fun to watch these punchy little fights. Glad this was selected!

[@cilian8462]

scythe is a full 32 megawad of maps that usually take less than 10 minutes to beat, many even less than 5, check it out too

[@kelleroid]

I thought I was fine, I thought I didn't miss this... but after this video I have to admit there is little quite like decino fighting his way through an equally colorful and tough Doom II map put together by the smartest mapping minds around! Someone else mentioned Stardate 20XX and I agree. When a WAD pulls off a look like this it's mesmerizing 🌌

[@thegoldencosmos3221]

Map 6 offering some of the best Arachnotron carnage I've ever heard, pure eargasms

[@denifnaf5874]

These doom 2 wad names are getting out of hand!

[@madson-web]

I liked the idea, it is basically one big fight per map where you need to kinda of plan around

[@Khrada]

The changing palette and strong but short maps is surely an interesting way to stand out.

[@MalevolancyxXxX]

It’s nice to see some competence again. I love BMD but your skills are just on point

[@kylegrefe4399]

Yummy yummy. Loved The Wiggles as a kid.

[@Claudia-km9lo]

This reminds me a lot of those "gun game" or "sniper wars" maps from counter strike's history in terms of visuals and size, pretty cool!

[@kelleroid]

fy_fruitsalad

[@sephiran973]

It was short, but it was good. I really enjoyed the infights. Gracias tio decino

[@DoomGuy9001-MK4]

This wad is a great pratice for monster combat, short and punchy and if you die you dont lose much progress.

[@BlazeSkipper]

I gotta say this was an interesting WAD having combat puzzles rather than finding three keys to exit or puzzles requiring switches. The last wad that really caught my attention like this was Going Down

[@pizzalord3n]

Nice to see some good old Kid Chameleon stuff being added here lol, last place one would expect to see it.

[@ShowRyuKen]

MORE decino?! Pumpkin Man, you're spoiling us - great to have you back again this evening, this is just what I wanted to see in my feed.

[@arthursamuel301]

Ahaha dying hurts so much when you've been surviving on 6% for so long 😂 also when you finished that map and said "that was fun. Alright!" i panicked because i thought the video ended and I wanted more 😂

[@groove66]

Loved this wad and the Kid Chameleon reference (old Sega Genesis/ Mega Drive game)

[@georgeheilman885]

Love that the thumbnail looks like the mancubi are giving blueberries to the player. Quite considerate of them.

[@JangianTV]

Nice punchy maps with remixed colours. Also nice to see some more Pumpkin Lad!

[@theshep]

loving the omg slaughter map06! nice dark palette for dark times.

[@michaeljones2631]

LOVED the colors in this one

[@Punk93Metal]

Wow I never thought I’d a Kid Chameleon midi in a DOOM game :o the Sega Genesis was my gateway to gaming.

[@travishaselden]

Every map seems to have its own color palette. That's pretty neat.

[@keiyakins]

In map 4, the music is a chill rendition of Ice Cap Zone (the Hard Times one from the Genesis release, not the prototype music that was brought back for origins) and I briefly thought i was losing my mind before I realized thats where i was hearing it from

[@decino]

As shown in the bottom left corner during MAP04's intro.

[@jerome_dangelo]

Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer at the end made me smile. Watching you get wrecked did too.😂

[@idd_cutie1274]

I already really love the layout of this first map. Makes me want to check out more from Grain of Salt

[@riba2233]

to play by the rules, I only wathched the 1st map :) jk, thanks for doing them all, another sign that you are a true chad! btw that stair drop in map06 was awesome!

[@inuyasha3204]

Hey decino happy to see u again hope family is good beautifull wad

[@s.s.r.s2641]

That's a slickly pleasant pallete fr‼️

[@Scarrus666]

These maps are like cool small arenas.

[@YuriyKrivosheyev]

Great wad, nice playthrough, thxs!

[@miyagikot1798]

Sick, 7 maps from decino in one video, nice!? I also really like how the projectiles change colors each map!

[@scout_mewing]

The color pallet remembers me hdoom (im still on recovery) still i always love ur vids man im gonna start a doom mod and you'll be on the thanks credits you teached me for it thx man 🤠

[@scout_mewing]

You're also the one that gave me the anti fear of UV ur a hero to me

[@scout_mewing]

AND i discovered how to install gzdoom and the mods from you damn you are such 1 nice guy 😊

[@scout_mewing]

(btw im playing your nerf mod)

[@tatamimats]

Great to see all the maps!

[@Fronzel41]

Decino has been tricked into doing a whole WAD series!

[@bbarbiter]

Never thought I’d see Mancubi shooting giant grapes at the player

[@eldandraken4850]

i never knew i needed cyan BFG balls and blue fireballs until today

[@fuzzix]

Ah the "Juicy Stardate" palette :) I really have to finish my map and submit ... currently working on the custom soundtrack 😬

[@lfab1369]

The last level reminds me the Pacman kind of. Collecting the cell packs like eating the dots in the maze.

[@fefodedo]

Kid chameleon flash back ❤

[@bdschannel4733]

Such a nice WAD! I am so happy that you decided to play the whole of it! I love the short maps! But despite their shortness, you somehow still didn't get all the items, which is disappointing.

[@Tarles_X]

The map04 ice world 2 - if you notice carefully, the music is a remix of ice cap zone from sonic 3.

[@decino]

The song name is shown during the map's intro.

[@idd_cutie1274]

Very pleasant video as always. Glad to see you back Decino

[@Rajesh-Koothrappali]

This was a fun wad to watch

[@-cheesent-]

nice demon salad you got there

[@cavemandrew5565]

The map finished screen has a sound that reminds me of Safari Hunt on the Sega master system.

[@etharchildres3976]

Hard times, happiest days of my life…

[@coriandercastor9453]

This set was the first time I enjoyed playing slaughtermaps.

[@rayek4eq]

Love the Kid Chameleon theme

[@kopfdertoten466]

lol that Kid Chameleon intermission screen

[@juggernautx1779]

That last fight was awesome

[@adinocc2042]

Wow, that was a lot of fun!

[@EsoiTheGrumpyMawile]

so Doom and Kid Chameleon, together at last, I sometimes wondered what a collaboration of the two would look like... And I think we could take it a step further, like teleporters to different set of levels and murder walls... Oh and the antagonist himself, Heady Metal and yes that is what he is called.

[@FloatingDogs]

The end of stage image and music are from Kid Chameleon for Sega Mega Drive!

[@jrock718]

Nice run pumpkin man

[@lukebehrendsbro.]

I never knew that Fruit Salad was indeed a fun wad to play here. Amazing details with this Winter feeling here. BMD, do this on Christmas why don't you. 😀
