Omega Tyrant: Nightmare is undergoing some big changes for 0.9.9.9, but at the least, it turns out the -10% speed penalty may have never actually existed, at least it doesn't exist from 0.9.9.6 to 0.9.9.8 and so shouldn't be noted here

 * '''Hey, Not Too Rough (HNTR)''': The "standard" difficulty for many players. Given that all multipliers are set to one other than an increased EXP multiplier, challenges are allowed, and all special levels are now available, this is an appropriate moniker.
 * '''Hurt Me Plenty (HMP)''': The first "difficult" difficulty. More numerous enemies appear, you no longer get increased EXP per kill, and stronger enemies appear sooner as well, giving you less time to prepare for them. All special levels also see a substantial buff in the difficulty of their enemy loadouts, making entering them a more serious risk/reward consideration.
-* '''Ultra-violence (UV)''': The difficulty of DoomRL veterans, with very high enemy density, all enemies having increased accuracy, and stronger enemies appear even sooner. This is the point where even the first few floors of the game can kill you reliably if you don't know the ins and outs of the game. Special levels additionally become very difficult, and entering them without the appropriate inventory and a good strategy will lead to swift deaths. It is unlocked at the Lance Corporal [[skill rank]].

In addition to Ultra-violence changes, enemies are even more numerous than UV, enemies will randomly revive when their [[corpse]]s are out of the player's vision (with the respawn rate continually increasing the longer the player spends on a floor), enemies attack much more frequently, and special levels become absolutely brutal. At least several of the ITYTD benefits are back to help, and any enemy that does revive will not count towards the run's kill percentage, so you won't need to kill every respawn to achieve 100% kills.

 ==Difficulty==
 Game difficulty roughly emulates that of the original game. There are five to select from:
-* '''I'm Too Young to Die (ITYTD)''': The easiest difficulty, in many ways. Ammo is doubled, enemy spawns are at their lowest, healing and powerup durations are doubled. A good way to start playing the game, although you won't have access to every [[Levels#Special levels|special level]] available nor play any challenges.
+* '''I'm Too Young to Die (ITYTD)''': The easiest difficulty, in many ways. Ammo is doubled, enemy spawns are at their lowest, enemies have a universal [[accuracy]] penalty, healing and powerup durations are doubled, you take half damage from [[fluids]], and you get a lot of extra EXP per kill. A good way to start playing the game, although several [[special level]]s will not appear and no challenges can be played on this difficulty.
-* '''Hey, Not Too Rough (HNTR)''': The "standard" difficulty for many players. Given that all multipliers are set to one, challenges are allowed, and all special levels are now available, this is an appropriate moniker.
