"cave2d/game2" is my first itch.io release!

This is inspired by the 8-bit Atari adventure/shooty games I wasted my youth on, especially Dandy Dungeon. But this is all floating-point continuous collision detection, so it's got way more computations, and smaller destructible terrain-chunks, pretty bad graphics, and it works on mobile, or keyboard, or keyboard+mouse.

This is all custom JS! I learned a ton of stuff about WebGL and Web Audio, and the pain and foolishness of writing one's own game engine. (And level editor. Adding undo/redo to the level editor was itself a technical and spiritual journey. See those letters in the screenshot? Painted with a mouse.)

I quit working on this little game in mid-2016, though I made tiny technical updates since then while working on other stuff, like keeping up with the ways browsers keep breaking Web Audio. I'm putting it up on itch.io now, because this seems like a nice place for small videogames to live.
