- MIT License (MIT) Assets: The soundtrack is not covered by the repository licence. It is Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 14, 3rd movement "readapted by Ryan Malm for this game" (app/music/song.ts at the submitted revision), bundled into the shipped index.html. No licence or permission statement for it exists in the repository, in the js13kGames entry metadata, in the in-game credits or anywhere the composer publishes, so Bytelane has no documented grant to redistribute it. Upstream redistribution status is unclear. The code itself is clean: LICENSE is MIT, Copyright (c) 2022 Salvatore Previti, and permits redistribution and modification. The bundled SoundBox playback engine is also resolvable, because app/music/music-player.ts carries the zlib-style notice of Copyright (c) 2011-2013 Marcus Geelnard, which allows redistribution with the notice kept. The soundtrack is the only unresolved component, and it cannot be separated from the submission: the official build is one roadroller-packed index.html of 17552 bytes, and no commit of the source repository reproduces those bytes. See docs/games/dante.md.
About Dante
A delivery of evil souls has spilled into an area under construction, and Dante has to carry them down to the eighth circle. The level is built from CSG geometry by a hand-written WebGL engine, and the whole descent can be played from a top-down camera, from a first-person camera, or switched between the two at any time from the menu.
