About Charon Jr.
This state machine can also be useful for player or enemy states. These are used for zipping but the unzipped copy is left behind so you can validate the code still works without unzipping.

Charon Jr. was submitted to the js13kGames 2022 competition by Rob Louie. It earned competition recognition. Like every js13k entry, the entire game — code, art, and audio — fits in 13 kilobytes, a constraint that rewards focused, clever design over bulk. The included features are minimal and can easily be changed or removed.
How to Play
The included features are minimal and can easily be changed or removed. There's also a simple singleton `drawEngine` for drawing with the canvas anywhere easily, as well as a simple `controls` interface. Use WASD and Enter to select options.
For full controls and strategy tips, open the game via the source link below — the in-game title screen displays any additional bindings. As a js13k entry, expect a focused single-mechanic experience with a clear objective.
