Description             : The idea is super simple again -
                          the community project about Imp rocketing! Part 2!

                          The main mapping challenge was to make interesting
                          maps with one important limitation in mind - minimum
                          99% imps on a level (applied to all difficulties).
                          
                          The main weapon is the rocket launcher;
                          other weapons are available sometimes.

                          What's new in part 2:
                          - edited palette (added 'true' yellow shades);
                          - special coloring for invulnerability
                          - imp keys!
                          - new/custom textures on some maps;
                          - even more architectural variety.

                          This time we have more maps - 36 playable maps:
                          - 34 regular maps
                          - 1 credit map
                          - 1 secret map
                          All are UV-Max'able and accessible through normal play.
                          No secret exit jumps this time.

                          Imppressive!
                          Thanks everyone for mapping!
                          Thanks everyone for impping!
