[[Battle of the Brains]] is the third and final episode of the [[The Universe Is Toast (MOD Trilogy)|unofficial "The Universe is Toast"]] trilogy by [[User: Ceilick|Ceilick]], with the bulk of the modding done by Ceilick, [[User: Mink|Mink]] and [[User: Tulip|Tulip]], with extensive patching by [[User: Levellass|Levellass]] and [[User:Lemm|Lemm]]. Work on it began shortly after the release of [[Dead in the Desert]] in 2009. It was released in February 2011.

The story continues where Dead in the Desert left off. After escaping the planet Calidune and being reuinted with his friends in the Bean-with-Bacon Megarocket, Commander Keen learns of Mortimer McMire's plans to destroy a giant star and incinerating the universe. He also learns that Mortimer has a space station containing several transporters which can be used to teleport to distant worlds and locations. One of these transporters is heavily guarded and believed to lead to Mortimer himself. Keen must travel to four different worlds in order to activate the controls which unlock the doors to the final teleporter so that he can stop Mortimer before the universe is toast!

Zdude: Game has been released, this info is now known.

{{Creature Infobox

}}

Cybloogs are creatures in [[Battle of the Brains]]. They are cybernetically enhanced Bloogs and they serve as shock troopers in Mortimer's Army. These Bloogs are protected by a special type of armor that makes them immune to the effects of the [[Neural Stunner]]. They carry special blasters that are powered by a [[Meep]] on their back. These blasters fire powerful sound waves that will travel through walls, making them dangerous opponents.
