Author here, not sure why this is posted today as this project is from 2015, but feel free check out our latest WebGL project if you liked Keep Out: https://equinox.space

EDIT: thanks for all the great feedback!

I think it is because Equinox Space was posted last week and made a good splash, lot of people liked it, so someone must have explored your past stuff and found this from 2015.

I did like equinox space a lot.

Makes sense!

If this is from 2015, any plans to open source?

Not at the moment, but thanks for your interest.

Started playing equinox but constantly find myself face first against a wall and struggling to turn around and get a good view. Nav is dizzying. But I love the rendering and audio.

Sorry to hear that! There are multiple control modes so I assume you're either using the mobile version or the desktop in casual mode. We've tried our best making the experience as easy to use as possible for a variety of user profiles, but it's not perfect. FWIW, the touch and mouse-only controls are similar to Google Street View.

Really cool experience, sharing it around! Would you care to share the game's music somewhere? Really hits me, i'd like to put theses in my playlists

Thanks! Yes, we plan to release the soundtrack (which we produced in-house) in the future.

Saw the dungeon one back then, but played it "through" now (level 12, supposed it doesn't end).

Also played thru equinox. Nice. Tight packages both!

It does end at level 15.

Congrats on finishing Equinox!

I loved equinox, are there plans for more levels? btw, I couldn’t play Keep Out on iPad. I guess it assumes that a keyboard is available

Thanks, there are no such plans at the moment.

Yes, we relied on UA-based mobile detection which worked back then but a few years ago Apple stopped treating iPadOS as mobile, and we never patched this.

Are there any secrets?

Unfortunately no! We did want to add secret stuff like hidden doors or fake walls back then, but we had to keep scope under control since that was only a promotional demo for our studio.

Edit: not sure if you're talking about Equinox or Keep out. But my answer is true for both projects. ;)
