Not sure how you could do this, but if you find a way to sign visually how it works to the player, it would be awesome\n\n= =\n\nSo yeah, that's a very rough, but good basis for a roguelike or a procedural content-based game.

It was a bit fun to discover how it works. The visuals are also strange in a way I kinda like. The labyrinth aspect can be laborious though, especially with red keys that are difficult to spot.

Fair warning on my comment: I'm probably biased against it.\n\nThere are some interesting ideas I liked in the game, including the vertical tubes that inherits the vertical velocity of your player.  With polish, such as automatically guiding the player to the horizontal-center of the tube and making the y-velocity up or down the tube fixed, would make this a wonderful mechanic full of interesting opportunities.  Having items open new ways was also pretty interesting as well.\n\nI found the level that came with the game to be...very bad.  I recognize it was created by a random level generator: while that in and of itself isn't bad, it's very noticeable as a human player the level has no sense of narrative or flow.  This makes trying to search for keys exceptionally tedious, since 1) collecting a key doesn't tell me which new path has opened, and 2) the key and pathway all feels very random, and consequently without purpose.\n\nI admit that, given the intent of this project was a tech demonstration, I'm probably being overly harsh here.  I think with more time, some interesting ideas could emerge.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld48\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/xotraz.itch.io\/abyss","text":"Link"},{"url":"https:\/\/xotraz.itch.io\/abyss","text":"Level Generator"},{"url":"https:\/\/xotraz.itch.io\/abyss","text":"Game Maker Project"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"78197","g_author":"1012205","g_event":"LD48","g_eventkey":"109","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"375736","g_title":"Abyss","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"7","g_site2_node_id":"252183","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"252183","n_urlkey":"375736","n_parent":"233335","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/48\/abyss-2","n_slug":"abyss-2","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"12205","n_created":"1619480509","n_modified":"1778354360","n_version":"769216","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD48","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":1,"author":12205,"body":"# Dive into the abyss!\n\nYou can not only jump but also move left and right.
