I believe this mod is inspired by Cave Story's leveling system and it was intentional that the deck of cards become useless at level 3, because there was a weapon in Cave Story that did exactly that.
For anyone interested that weapon was the Nemesis. Coincidentally, to get it you need to trade it for another weapon, the Blade, which also had an interesting trade off where both it's level 2 and 3 had their own niche uses. Also, the bubbles in this mod could possibly be a reference to the Bubbline weapon which is so unique it is almost as iconic to Cave Story as the Polar Star or Spur. edit: The weapons are 100% based on Cave Story. The Rocket Launcher, Machine Gun and the BFG act almost exactly like they do as their Cave Story counterparts.
Except Cave Story's weapons don't have alt. fire modes, so once you "leveled up" your Nemesis, it would effectively cripple the weapon permanently, making it useless, as in that game there was no way to lose weapon energy short of taking damage from the enemies. For this reason, even though Cola's deck of cards is clearly modeled after Nemesis, it performs wildly different because of the alt-fire. While in Cave Story there was no reason whatsoever to deliberately level up your Nemesis, in Cola it's actually good to level up the cards, as while it severely weakens the primary fire, you exchange it for a single shot of the alt-fire, which at level 3 can clear an entire room of Hell Barons, or 1HKO a Cyberdemon. And then you get enough bubbles from the kills to level it back up to level 3 again...
Cave Story: The DOOM mod. Even has that one weapon that inexplicably gets WORSE the more you level it, and the weapon that sacrifices being able to level up for being able to charge and shoot giant-ass lasers.
This mod is ducking amazing! Slot 3: become Gambit Plasma Rifle: Time Splitters heat mechanic Sidewinder: Half life 2 modified combine overwatch sniper
This mod is probably most cool, literally and satisfying mod i have ever played. That level up mechanism is kinda clever and challenging, if you want to level your gun up quickly. Also Wildweasel used my resources like that revolver in the vid. So yeah. He is indeed the Still-Fizzing legend! Good to the Last Drop!
Dang this is exactly like Cave Story lmao The Cards are the Nemesis and the Toothpaste Launcher is the Spur, the main pistol even looks like the Polar Star. I love it!
Toothpaste Laser is something of a reference to Raiden's Plasma Laser's nickname among the fans. The reason it's named as such is: "It is a purple laser beam that locks onto nearby enemies, causing it to bend and flex just like toothpaste."
So essencially Cave Story FPS: Hardcore Edition XDD Joking aside this is a cool little gameplay mod indeed, and i see myself playing this with a more difficult and beefed up doom map pack, heck even playing this in regular doom campaigns could be pretty damn intense and fun to do, it can be difficult to maintain your level yes but if you played Cave Story you know how to deal with this sort of stuff, at least you dont have to bounce all over the place to get the damn XP cubes enemies drop when they are killed, and i dont think that could be very fun to do in 3D and in a FPS noneless.
If I was good at modding and programming or what ever. I would make a mod all about Tarot cards and their effects on the player, the guns and the enemies. Red cards effect the player, blue effects the weapons and yellow effects the enemies. Each one of the cards as an upside down twin that does the opposite of the former. For example: A red right side hanged man card will convert damage taken to ammo for current weapon. While the upside down variant will automatically eat up ammo in the current clip to restore health While the yellow Death card will make all enemies passive and wont attack no matter what you do kill them will drop extra resources, ammo health etc etc while reverse will kill all enemies in the area, but will drop nothing. A blue fool card will change your current weapon into a better version every shot will restore health and armor and ammo (for a limited time) while the reverse will up the damage of the weapon, but will cost the player health instead of ammo. It would take a LOT of imagination to come up with the other card effects, but if I had the talent I would.
hey, thanks for creating this series. its pretty much my only source of finding new mods to play, since trekking through the zdoom forums gets real old QUICK.
Honestly, how come more games haven't based they're leveling up of weapons based on the amount of kills/hits you take? It would encourage people to not just constantly avoid combat, but also not to just eat bullets until waiting to heal.
Tooth Paste laser is actually a shmup term. It's most often used to refer to the laser from the raiden series. And yes, it was originally called that because it sorta looks like you're shooting a stream of toothpaste. Toothpaste lasers always have some form of homing, as seen even in this mod, it rotates and angles towards the nearest enemy after you shoot it
Thank you for the suggestion once again, Mr. Icarus. You save us so much time from research, and allow us to enjoy the cream of the crop. God bless you, sir!
When seeing that last burst of cola come out from the Cyberdemon, I couldnt help but think of the thing in South Park where two of the boys make a bet on if people do a certain thing to their own pants when they die. Cannot unsee. D:
What did you know! Speaking of the BFG replacement, it makes the demons frantically *disappear* with the power of the toothpaste meanwhile a band called Kyuss has one of the hits getting the demons out while between the lines they meant brushing the teeth.
I'd like to imagine 100 years from now, our grandchildren would be sitting inside their anti-gravity bedrooms, still playing this game inside their holo-watches
BFG sounds are taken from Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries Small, medium and large laser sounds Also, armor pickups are steel hull ingots from Tyrian) The author of this mod definitely knows something...))
Is that...Temple of Love chiptune in the background!? owo I love to hear all these covers...in another mod it was Falkenbach's Havamal, now this...my ears are ohgoshing so much!
I feel like the piledriver would fit as a light auto railgun. I mean, the plasma autorifle already outclasses it, and the role of resident railgun is kinda filled by the toothpaste laser, but the laser seems to fire projectiles, and it fits the concept. Semi fast fire rate, medium to high damage, and fairly accurate. I mean, for one it doesn't fit as a chaingun. It tries to be, but the pistol somehow does that better with what I believe is the alt fire.
Fun fact: All of the sounds that play when you find a secret are from Mr. Pibb: The 3D Interactive Game, a 1998 first-person shooter made to advertise, what else, Mr. Pibb.
Hey Mr Icarus, have you thought about doing a video review of Freedoom? Granted, it would be a different review from the other mods, but Freedoom is such a unique concept, I think it deserves a moment in the sun. For those who don't know, Freedoom is a custom iwad that aims to replace ALL of the content in the normal game with new art, sounds, levels, and etc, so that in conjunction with the source code now being GPL, anyone can play Doom for absolutely free, since there is nothing in the game anymore that is Id's property.
The name „tooth paste laser“ might be inspired by the „Raiden“ Arcade game, which had this grandiose, homing / winding / winching laser. Many people in the Shmup community call this the tooth paste laser.
Oh my, thanks for the mention indeed at the end :) Also, mind I may ask one of these days how to learn from you to be able to try to make mods of my own for Doom as well?
I definitely saw multiple prompts that you picked up the "dual ks-23 shotguns, now with twice the flavor", but you never mention the dual mode for the shotgun at all?
8:32 if you look carefully at the back of the toothpaste laser when it fires, it has some Japanese text on it. Well, I put くたはれ through Google Translate, and it said "Did you mean: くたばれ". Assuming the creator did mean that, it translates to "Hatha", apparently. Alternatively, it can also translate to "Fuck you". That one seems more likely.

Cave Story: The DOOM mod.
Even has that one weapon that inexplicably gets WORSE the more you level it, and the weapon that sacrifices being able to level up for being able to charge and shoot giant-ass lasers.
Plus the rocket Launcher being the only gun with an actual ammo count and not infinite ammo.
This should have been just called Doom story
Doom mods are like rule 34. If something exist, it's also a doom mod.
Terraria.
RED, not BLU, Festivgineer Give it time...
And of course there's overlap, courtesy of H-Doom.
Thesavagesouls you are right :v
Warhammer, tho.
I believe the red robot was available in Solitaire in Windows 95/98, as optional fancy art on the backside of unrevealed cards.
You are correct! I've still yet to figure out why he sometimes animated but sometimes didn't.
and windows 3.1!
"Is that waterfall of cards a Solitaire reference?"
(Sees robot)
"Yes the weapon is a Solitaire reference."
Well this mod seems refreshing
LMAO. nice. i dont think many ppl got this...
I got an ad for fanta before this video started.
Bepis bottle a Cokebola glass? I don't give a dayum...
Wanna fanta, don't you wanna
Damn. Didn't know people watched videos without adblock.
Apparently many folks do. It's a miracle their computers haven't melted into a primordial soup of malware and intermissions.
@@lilwyvern4 Like MGS2.
This mod is ducking amazing!
Slot 3: become Gambit
Plasma Rifle: Time Splitters heat mechanic
Sidewinder: Half life 2 modified combine overwatch sniper
St0l3n 4ssets
Finally found someone else that knows timesplitters! holy shit man
the level X shotgun had the ts2 ricochet sound too
Kinetic Cards everywhere! Very well said there too, I was about to say that myself but I read and you took the words instead lol XD
I freaking LOVE this channel. Amazing stuff
#orbitaltoothpastelaserstrike

Dang this is exactly like Cave Story lmao
The Cards are the Nemesis and the Toothpaste Launcher is the Spur, the main pistol even looks like the Polar Star.
I love it!
FYI, that red robot alt fire was a desighn for the cards on the original solitaire.
Great video, great mod, just perfect as usual. Love it! Keep going Icarus =)
Toothpaste Laser is something of a reference to Raiden's Plasma Laser's nickname among the fans. The reason it's named as such is: "It is a purple laser beam that locks onto nearby enemies, causing it to bend and flex just like toothpaste."
ZeroTheEro Was just about to comment this. iirc, the toothpaste laser was the best upgrade because of how it locked on.
and also looks cool while doing so.
That pun about the whipping out of decks, man! Brilliant!
So essencially Cave Story FPS: Hardcore Edition XDD
Joking aside this is a cool little gameplay mod indeed, and i see myself playing this with a more difficult and beefed up doom map pack, heck even playing this in regular doom campaigns could be pretty damn intense and fun to do, it can be difficult to maintain your level yes but if you played Cave Story you know how to deal with this sort of stuff, at least you dont have to bounce all over the place to get the damn XP cubes enemies drop when they are killed, and i dont think that could be very fun to do in 3D and in a FPS noneless.
Looks like it is the lvl system that is similar as the one in cave story.
Kind Torment I see I am not the only one to think that.
A man of culture I see.
And i see you're a man of culture as well.
Kind Torment and there's some Tyrian stuff in there too. Gotta say that the mod author has great taste.
I'm surprised that didn't occur to me earlier. Now that you've pointed it out, though, I can't not download the mod lol
I can't get over the toothpaste laser using the MechWarrior4 sound effect.
The upgrade system kinda reminds me of the one in Cave Story.
That laugh was so ... Paxton Fettel! :o
The toothpaste laser made mechwarrior 4 laser sounds. Ahhh nostalgia...
If I was good at modding and programming or what ever. I would make a mod all about Tarot cards and their effects on the player, the guns and the enemies. Red cards effect the player, blue effects the weapons and yellow effects the enemies.

It would take a LOT of imagination to come up with the other card effects, but if I had the talent I would.
Uh huh. Now get that talent so you can make it.
All those Tyrian sprites. Mmm, carbonated nostalgia.
Mr Icarus should turn into Dr Doom more often, he laughs like a madman with just a non splash damage rocket launcher
Thanks for uploading daily mods,really needed it to make Doom more fun to me
Nailgun deeeeeeefinitely doesn't look like Jackhammer. It absolutely doesn't.
omg, toothpaste gun uses MW 4 laser sounds.... brb reinstalling

5.05 He kinda sounds like the priest from "We Don't go to Ravenholm" in Half-Life 2, lol
You mean Father Grigori?
"Feel free to whip out something interesting, such as your deck and go nuts" @ 2:34

2:44
Whip my deck out?
And go nuts.
are the armor pickups are the integrity field icons from Tyrian o_o
(also is that robot from the win 98 Solitaire?!)
Yes, it seems so, as do the strawberries and other sprites and concepts.
huh
weasel even hosts a website about playing cards. If only I can find it...
An original and funny mod, I like it! ^^
The robot (cards alt-fire) is from one of the custom deck of cards from the earlier versions of Solitaire (Win 95 / 98).
I hope its without sugar. xD
the card throwing robot is particularly funny once you realize it is the robot from one of the old windows solitaire card backs
Thank you for the suggestion once again, Mr. Icarus. You save us so much time from research, and allow us to enjoy the cream of the crop. God bless you, sir!
LOL the robot is from one of the card deck backs from classic Windows solitaire. In fact the main background is one of the card deck backs too.
Refreshing~!
When seeing that last burst of cola come out from the Cyberdemon, I couldnt help but think of the thing in South Park where two of the boys make a bet on if people do a certain thing to their own pants when they die. Cannot unsee. D:
What did you know! Speaking of the BFG replacement, it makes the demons frantically *disappear* with the power of the toothpaste meanwhile a band called Kyuss has one of the hits getting the demons out while between the lines they meant brushing the teeth.
5:05 on is pretty funny the laugh is so pleasing XD
I'd like to imagine 100 years from now, our grandchildren would be sitting inside their anti-gravity bedrooms, still playing this game inside their holo-watches
I love this Mod too. ^-^
To funny to let the Protagonist burp and fart. xD
BFG sounds are taken from Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries
Small, medium and large laser sounds
Also, armor pickups are steel hull ingots from Tyrian) The author of this mod definitely knows something...))
1:22 best splash effect ever.
The bfg charge sound in this mod is from that old pinball game on old windows? I'm surprised I even recognised it.
Holy cow, the toothpaste laser uses laser weapon sounds from MechWarrior 4!
"Whip out your deck and go nuts".......wait a minute
That BFG has a significant advantage- you can level up ANY other weapon with it. If it was a fast switching weapon it'd make that point even clearer.
Is that...Temple of Love chiptune in the background!? owo
I love to hear all these covers...in another mod it was Falkenbach's Havamal, now this...my ears are ohgoshing so much!
Cola cans of death? This reminds me so much of Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
So basically this is First Person Cave Story!
You should do Doom Delta at some point.
I feel like the piledriver would fit as a light auto railgun. I mean, the plasma autorifle already outclasses it, and the role of resident railgun is kinda filled by the toothpaste laser, but the laser seems to fire projectiles, and it fits the concept. Semi fast fire rate, medium to high damage, and fairly accurate. I mean, for one it doesn't fit as a chaingun. It tries to be, but the pistol somehow does that better with what I believe is the alt fire.
At 11:05 I recognize that shiled icon from Tyrian 2000 XD
For a cola game, the player has a very Pepsi pallette.
I love your reviews, I hope you do more. nopressure
That BFG replacement is my favorite thing about this mod
Did you just tell me to whip out my deck and go nuts?
I like this kind of advertisment
If you look at the toothpaste gun while it charges, it says "low,medium to DIE" XD
Is not any robot, is the windows solitaire robot, he was one of the variants of the deck backs
I think the dual shotguns are the most satisfying weapon in the game once they're leveled up.
I think it is time I tried this whole Scythe map thingie too, lol.
Ah, yes, Scythe 2. One of my personal favourites.
Lol the BFG weapon has laser sounds from mechwarrior games, than it also sounds like a pinball machine lol
I know that you have covered Guncaster already ICARUSLIV3S but Pillowblaster updated it and there's a special power armor that has a hud
Fun fact: All of the sounds that play when you find a secret are from Mr. Pibb: The 3D Interactive Game, a 1998 first-person shooter made to advertise, what else, Mr. Pibb.

I think you missed the overdoom (overwatch d.va mech for doomguy) mod. I would like to see you covering it.
Lol at the deck of cards! Did no one realize that the game technically implies you are playing as GAMBIT from X-Men?!
The name „tooth paste laser“ might be inspired by the „Raiden“ Arcade game, which had this grandiose, homing / winding / winching laser. Many people in the Shmup community call this the tooth paste laser.
Looks like the missle launcher does a lot of splash damage. You just seem immune to it.
Whip out your deck, and go nuts. True Doomer.
Is this the PepsiMan of the Doom mods?
I know this is cola, but I can't help not think of PEPSIMAN!
The fruit pickups in this mod are from Xargon
This mod reminds me of that doom mod where you collect blood coins to upgrade your weapons
Hey man, I have the same condition you do. Stay strong, brother.
Love this one
The cards look like something from X-Men's Gambit. Down to the color and the gloves he is wearing.
1:32 lol twisted fate
Will download.
I've noticed that the pistol, shotgun and plasma auto-rifle have firing sounds from Saints Row 2.
-
Pistol - AR-50 Special's Grenade launcher
Shotgun - Tombstone
Plasma Auto-rifle - NR4
-
Oh my, thanks for the mention indeed at the end :)
Also, mind I may ask one of these days how to learn from you to be able to try to make mods of my own for Doom as well?
well that sounds like weapon mods with extra steps
And a pretty good one at that.
The game even becomes a memefest due to it's many sound effect add-ons.
Franky: SUUUPEEEER!
The rockets does have Splash-damage. They just don't hurt the player
5:12 LOL!
"Whip out your deck"
I definitely saw multiple prompts that you picked up the "dual ks-23 shotguns, now with twice the flavor", but you never mention the dual mode for the shotgun at all?

Well, what does the pistol do?
The guns look like something from the new 3D Releams Game Ion Maiden
Is that temple of love song playing in background?
It's almost like bringing weapons of Ratchet and Clank into Doom. I like.
There is an ratchet clank mod that has level ups for a ton of weapons, they even change appearance.
i watched a doom mod called cola 3 and i was drinking a cola as well.
cool mod, if only i was competent enough to download it
