Q: I don't see the walls and floors, I and the ennemies are floating in the air.
A: You need Heretic wad V1.3 (Shadow of the Serpent Rider, with 5 episodes).
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q: #@!!??!!, this is not the full game, I've paid for the full game !!!!
A: No, you paid for the engine port (months of work + support), not the datas. Same thing when you buy an emulator, you pay for the emulator (= the engine), not the games it emulates (= the datas) which are commercial materials you need to own.
Also, the game description on App World clearly states that:
"HereticGLES comes with Heretic shareware datas.
If you own Heretic (V1.3 - Shadow of the Serpent Riders), copy the wad file (heretic.wad) in your device at this location: /sdcard/Kokak/HereticGLES/
!!! FULL GAME IWAD IS NOT PRESENT IN THIS RELEASE !!!"
