Crumpets 2 is a seven-level, Boom-compatible PWAD for Doom II, made by Zachary Stephens (Ribbiks) and released on the Doomworld forums on February 12, 2024. Similar to the original Crumpets, the maps are comparatively short and were each created in a speedmapping style over the course of a few hours.

A sister mapset, Lemoncholia, created by Grain of Salt around the same time as Crumpets 2, was released the following year.

Content[edit]

Custom content[edit]

The custom content is implemented through a DeHackEd patch. The WAD file also includes a set of custom colormaps in the form of a BLUEMAP lump that renders everything in shades of blue, and a sound replacement for the plasma gun.

Green cyberdemon
A cyberdemon with only 1000 hit points and green wiring instead of the usual red. It replaces the spider mastermind; as such, it can infight with the regular cyberdemon.
Spiderdemon
A spider mastermind that replaces the Wolfenstein SS and, as a result, is not immune to blast damage and does not play its death sound at full volume. Curiously, due to an oversight, it also possesses both a raise and explode state, both of which are glitched, making it possible for an arch-vile to resurrect its corpse (though this will rarely happen due to the large size of its hitbox, as the arch-vile, or something else, is likely to stand inside it, blocking the resurrection), as well as attacks to theoretically trigger a gib death (though this is practically impossible, as no weapon in the standard arsenal does nearly enough damage in a single hit). Triggering its raise state will skip the normal reverse death animation and instead jump straight to the start of its walk animation, while its gib death instantly transitions to the final sprite of the cyberdemon's death animation, and because it does not activate the A_Fall code pointer along the way, which is present in a normal death sequence, would result in its hitbox continuing to block the player and other monsters from walking over it after its death.
Afrit
Identical to the afrit from Scythe 2, except that it only possesses 1000 HP. It replaces Commander Keen.
