About The Project

Demo Video:

Explore unique procedurally generated levels and search for the exit, while fighting enemies and dodging traps as you go. There is also a treasure room hidden somewhere in the level, and a challenge room before the exit. Each hit you take will reduce your HP, but you can find pickups in the level that will increase your HP. Use melee attacks, fireballs and your dash abilities to defeat enemies.

You can also slow down time temporarily, during which you will be able to move at full speed but enemies and projectiles will be slowed. While time is slowed your abilities are modified. Your melee attack becomes a shield, your fireball becomes a barrier that reflects enemy projectiles, and your dash becomes a blink that makes you invulnerable.

A design doc can be found on Google Docs here. This details a plan for a game with a wider scope than the current prototype.
