Layout

Spawn points are located on opposite ends of the stage and are inaccessible. In the middle is a structure that has the top accessed by a Gusher. On the top there are grates and walls for cover. The bottom of the structure has two openings that can cross to the other side but can be blocked off by activating the Gushers. The left of the structure is climbable and can be used to get to the other side but not on the top of the structure. To the right is an area that can be accessed by a Gusher or by the spawn area. to the left is a little pit area with a box in it. To get to the spawn area, the player has to activate gushers that raise to then jump to the area.
