Gave it a second shot! After looping back to the chasm twice I finally called it quits.
However, I noticed a file called "Voice in Fire.love". Having worked a lil bit with love2d before, I took the liberty to rip the whole thing open and look a bit inside. To begin with, for having programmed for a week, good job! The code was understandeable, and peeking through it I got a pretty good image of what the ending was.
I read through this (and poked around in the audio files), and it's like a very nice poem, and I bet it would look very good when played through (yes I am damaged / have done gamedev long enough to the point where I can visualize from just reading the code. Also it was not super complex). To me it's still a bit unclear how everything is connected, but I really like what I can make out of it all. (pasting it in here so others can get a chance to read it)
I think you did a really good job for your first time, and I think you should keep at it. You seem to be having really interesting ideas, and I'd love to see where things go!
