I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be large domes covering the cities.
Actually, now that I think about it, pretty much every level on the map, except for the ice level and the castle, are domes.
They remind me of the Emerald City in the Wizard of Oz.

I always knew that the thing in the wall was a slug.
I did, however, refer to the Vorticons as "foxes" for a while.
Also, I too thought of the levels in Keen 1 as cacti and The Perilous Pit was a sort of barrel shaped thing. I always thought Sparkies in Keen 5 looked like Hamburgers. I referred to Arachnuts as "crabs". I think I may have at one time referred to butler robots as "pushers". I always thought of Vortikids as rabbits or something like that...as well as the point items that look somewhat like them. I always thought the disappearing guys in Keen 4 were fish. Can't think of anything else at the moment, but I'm sure there are more.
I'd like to get a Futurama mod going. Here's what I've got so far:
My imagination used to run wild with those preview screens.
In the Keen 2 preview, I thought dead Vorticon Elite was some spider-like monster.
For the Keen 3 pic, I thought the Vortimom was just the Vorticon's fat friend, and I thought that the Vorticon was using some weird force-field thing on Keen. I also had no idea how Keen was supposed to get through the house when the walls were all solid (I guess I never noticed the darker blocks?)
