What it is
Tempest Rebirth is a vertical slice rather than a full game: one dense region, a complete combat system and a three-phase boss. Nothing is downloaded. Models, textures, particles and sound are all generated in code, with custom cel-shading on top of Three.js. It is played with keyboard and mouse.
