HTML5/Javascript game made with the impactJS engine

Dungeon Knight is a 2D sidescrolling game that follows a young warrior in his quest to rid his homeland of evil. He runs into battle wearing his trusted armor and his faithful sword and shield, but that alone will not help him triumph over the invaders. A wizard appears to him throughout his journey sharing knowledge of the arcane, and with these new powers, the warrior bests the odds and emerges victorious.
The objective of the game is to make it through three levels of combat. Between each level, a wizard will meet the player and grant him a spell as well as increasing his max health. The last level has harder enemies, which makes use of the increased damage that the spells have. Upon making it to the end, a splash screen will pop up and notify the user of their victory before prompting them to try again. Losing all three lives will result in a game over and will force the player to start at the beginning.
The controls are simple! To move, you may use the arrow keys or the 'WASD'keys. Left and right will move you in those respective directions, and spacebar will allow you to jump. When standing over vines (a ladder), pressing 'Up' will allow you to mount the ladder, and you will now be able to use 'Up' and 'Down' to move up and down the ladder. Pressing 'Left' or 'Right' while on the ladder will cause you to jump off. You may also use 'Spacebar' to jump off of the ladder. When swimming, press the 'Spacebar' to kick up towards the surface, and use 'Left' and 'Right' to move in those directions. To swing, simply run or jump towards a rope, and it will move you through the swing.
To attack, press the 'C' key. Your standard attack is the sword. You may block at any time by pressing the 'Z' key. You cannot block and attack at the same time, nor can you move and attack. Along the way, a wizard will grant you the ability to use two different spells - a lightning attack and a fireball attack. The fireball attack shoots three slightly stronger fireballs in the direction you are facing. The lightning bolt attack spawns two lightning bolts that shoot away from you and diagonally upwards. Pressing 'X' will allow you to switch between the two spells and your sword and shield. Utilize all three of these attacks, as well as your shield, to make it through the game.
There are screenshots of the game located in your 'Drive: /path-to-project/Dungeon-Knight/media/ScreenShots' folder.
This game requires XAMPP, or some form of program that provides a local web server and Apache. In XAMPP, paste the 'Dungeon-Knight' folder in your 'htdocs' folder. Then, in a web browser, enter the following in your address bar:
localhost/Dungeon-Knight/index.html
Some computers require you to manually insert your port number after 'localhost'.
The graphical objects include the player, the wizard, the three enemy types, and the world pieces. The player can spawn three fireballs or two bolts of lightning at once, and the "Boss" enemies shoot sharp horns at the player.
