Description
"The floor seems odd here. Is there something beneath the surface?"
The premise is simple: The ground of each level will break after a certain amount of time. Every time you descend through the ground the world you find yourself in grows bigger and more intricate. Your only help is a strange orb that follows you around everywhere you go. It seems it gives off light equivalent to your lifeforce. Even though you feel the strange comfort of your new trusty follower you are still wary of what lies below. As you descend the dangers become more and more visible. You have no choice but to face the evil that lurks in the depths.
Things I liked: mood, physics, minimal art style. Orienting the viewpoint could get tricky when jumping on the blocks that send you into the air. Cool use of WebGL. Very nice, well done! :)
Great atmosphere - lots of great little touches here that really juice it (flash on pickups, 'voxel' particles). I didn't read the full description and had assumed this was Unity - nope - go WebGL ! The slow floating light is a slightly more unique addition, it's an interesting way to limit the speed at which you can safely venture into the dark. I did experience some occasional framerate stutters even in fullscreen, but otherwise the framerate was excellent. One thing that would increase the tension would be to give some indication of health level (not necessarily a health bar, you could just make the orb light go redder or something).
About the mouse lock: When you go fullscreen there is a field in the top of your browser that requests you to confirm the mouselock. Otherwise it will not engage.
On the topic of level progression: I didn't have enough time to add more content or an actual end to the game. Currently you just fall an infinite amount of times while each time the size of the level increases by a little bit.
