    It looks to be a brightly colored, Mario-inspired Doom mod. You still have the standard space marine loadout of pistols and shotguns, but also weapons that shoot stars and music notes, apparently. Interesting vibe. Clearly the creator put a lot of work into it, which is awesome.

    Was strafe jumping a thing in Doom 2? It looks like that's being done in part of the trailer. If so and if that mechanic is required to get through levels, I can see this game being incredibly frustrating for those of us who have never been able to master the technique.

      There wasn't a jump at all in DOOM 2. Sourceports added the option.

      It took me a moment to remember what strafe jumping even was. There's good reason it doesn't exist in FPSes anymore, what a horrible mechanic. Ah, originally a bug in the Quake engine, according...

      I think the high jumps in this case are programmed by the modder to achieve a Mario-like effect, according to https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=47574

      Higher jumps with an almost full air control! You can dodge,turn around in midair and make precise jumps from platform to platform!
