The Inevitable Abyss by hinesite
The Inevitable Abyss is... inevitable. Survival is the name of the game.
Just your boring basic platformer. Well, almost anyways (almost a platformer that is). I didn't finish editing the level, so it ends real quick.
Controls are w, space, or up to jump. a, d, left, right, to move left and right.
I spent so much time on player movement, getting it just the way I wanted. Then at the end, I made one little change, and now the movement is not at all how I intended. Unfortunately, the change didn't cause a bug; I need to rethink how I handle the y-axis movement. I'm more disappointed than you know about that. Oh well. I will look to fix that for a post release. I will also have to add more platforms, I might try making a level editor.
Minimum screen width is 1300px.
The game was tested in Linux using Firefox and Chromium.
I don't think this game will play well on a mobile device at all.
Sound was done in LMMS.
Graphics were done in Inkscape and GIMP.
The project is HTML and JavaScript.
P.S.
This is the first LD I intentionally left-out a win condition. lol

A lot of elements were unfinished (as you stated) and the music is quite loud so I couldn't give much stars.
I wish to see the game in it's completed form. I'm sure you'll do great!
See you in the next LD (:
I have written a rudimentary game engine in c++, but I abandoned that years ago. My current thought is to write a new one using JS and WebGL (JS has come so far in the last 5 years!).
This entry wasn't entirely from scratch though, I did start off using my game loop (https://github.com/HineSite/game-loop-basics/blob/master/js/GameLoop.js). Far from a game engine though...
Thanks for your feedback!
It was my first attempt at making any kind of music and I sort of did it on a whim Saturday afternoon when I wanted a little break. I had never used LMMS before either, so I really didn't expect it to be as good as it is (which I understand is loud and repetitive. Oh well...).
Overall, well done :3
