\nIMPORTANT! The game will take about one minute to generate all the textures before starting. Just be patient.

\nVisually this stunning. It ran very slowly. It was slightly better in Chrome than FF. Perhaps as the display I was running on was 4k at 30 FPS
\nVery atmospheric feeling like being in a dungeon creeping around with very little light.
\nI felt like I wanted to be able to walk forwards, but could only rotate and walk sideways. Maybe it would be better with WASD and mouse look, or twin sticks on gamepad?
\nI got a bat, but couldn’t find anything to attack.
\nSome sound would be good.

It would be more natural for up/down to move away/toward the current camera, and jump/crouch on separate keys. It would also be swell if the camera could auto rotate instead of forcing me to do it to progress.

I have “search as you type” enabled in my browser, so every time I press a key it brings up the search. You should call .preventDefault() for all keyboard events to prevent this.
This game is really impressive technically speaking. Unfortunately the gameplay is pretty poor. The controls are quite unorthodox. I keep wanting to move around, but I have instead to rotate and the move only sideways. My character was often facing the enemies backwards too. The controls is general were too much to grasp for me.\nWhen a game takes a long time to load, you should avoid doing so in the main thread. It causes the whole tab to stall and the browser performance suffers.

The controls were very uncomfortable, a simple WASD would do the job. Didn´t really understand the goal of the game. Should I reach something or just kill the enemy skeletons? The game def has a huge potential, need a bit of polishing tho

\nI really like the idea but it’s difficult to master the controls. Nonetheless, game is very enjoyable and looks amazing, spent some fun time with it, congratulations on your entry and I’m looking forward to play your future games (hopefully, with some easier controls :D)!

Unfortunately, I struggled a lot with the controls and the game ran slowly. I wasn’t able to rotate the player, which would be nice when moving backwards, since the skeleton moved slowly when walking backwards.
\nI think the idea of rotating the world, and have the skeleton move in 2D is an interesting concept, but it did make it difficult to control.

Incredible that it fits in under 13kb! It took me a while to get used to the controls. I wonder if this could be simplified somehow? But overall all, incredible work!

Procedural skeletal animation impressive as well. Considering you have collisions, a complex game play and big play area is technically very impressive for 13k. It does fit the theme well and I like exploring those dark corridors.\nThe main problem I see is that is incredibly hard to control and takes a while to get used to it - too many keys to remember - rotation should be automatic (somehow). It misses sound or music, some dark long notes that makes you feel underground

\nBut it’s worth the wait. The graphics are fantastic and you’ve managed to do a lot with only 13kB. The game runs a little slowly and jittery; but could be just my browser and dodgy WiFi.
\nWhilst the graphics are pretty cool, the movement and controls is a little jarring. The physics are a bit staged, and the controls feel weird with moving the camera and only really having left and right on the screen, not left and right for the character. Since this is very different to other games, the controls aren’t nearly as intuitive. Just having arrows or WASD for normal movement (as in other games) would have made this a lot easier to master.
\nI really like where you’re heading with this and there is a lot in the game; only being able to see so far in front of you, lots of different actions (movement, attack, shove etc.) I picked up a stick and I play Quidditch so this instantly looked like a wizard’s broomstick! I thought that was very funny.
\nLove to see where you take this game next. Congrats on a fantastic game.
