Why it's worth your time
The self-hosted build preserves the original runtime and pixel-art visuals; only a compact attributed launch shell and English control guide are added.
The38MB WASM is divided into20MiB parts and reassembled without changing its bytes, keeping every deployed asset below25MiB.
Desktop acceptance entered the real boss arena: D moved the player toward the boss, jump raised the player, and a mouse attack showed a sword-swipe frame while the health/stamina HUD responded. This does not claim victory, all abilities or controller/mobile acceptance.
How it was made and where it lives
Hosted on the author's own page. The author publishes as 馬 (@horse_123123). Original: https://unityroom.com/games/abyss-gauntlet. Actual self-hosted Unity browser demo with original English title menu and English combat HUD. Runtime assets are local; the large WASM is reconstructed byte-for-byte from20MiB chunks. The Unityroom page and creator 馬 remain credited. Desktop move, jump, dodge and attack inputs were checked against the first boss; this is not a full boss-clear acceptance.
