The player has two weapons which +bound to two buttons (left/right mousebutton or X/Y). + + + + + + +There are three kinds of enemies. +"Fodder" that are slow and die easilly, but if they do end up hitting you they hurt a lot. + + + + +"Tanks" which don't hit very hard but survive for longer. + + + +"Ranged" which, like fodder have low health, low speed, and like the tank low damage, but can hit from a range. + + + +There is a "Berserk" powerup which will give the player the power to defeat enemies in one hit for a few seconds, but when it ends it leaves the player unable to act for a second. +Meaning that if the player fails to clear the room in the "berserk" time, they'll take a lot of hits. + +There is a "speedup" powerup, which will increase the animation/movement speed for the player but drains health while active (always leaving a small amount to avoid frustrating deaths).Player: +- A warrior with an axe and a sword. + +Objectives: +- Defeat all enemies. +- Move to the next room. + +Resources: +- Health, depending on what they get hit by, the player can take 4-7 hits +- Time, 5 minutes + +Mechanics: +- Short/light/weak attack with the axe +- Long/heavy/strong attack with the sword +- Berserk powerup that has a long vulnerablility period at the end +- Speed powerup that saps in the ballpark of 30% of the player's max health +- The game timer ticks down to game over +- Rooms will spawn enemies in randomly selected waves. +- Progress requires killing all waves of enemies + +Dynamics: +- The player has to decide whether to short or long attack based on their windup/recovery durations. + - deciding to use a long when you shouldn't would lead to getting hit during windup (canceling the action) or during winddown. + - But a light attack could fail to eliminate a threat in time. +- The player can make heavy attacks more useful by finding a speedup, but that goes at the cost of health. +- The player can make light attacks more useful by finding a berserk powerup, but at the risk of leaving themselves exposed after it fails. + +Conflict: +- The player cannot progress without defeating enemies. +- The enemies will attack the player. + +Boundaries: +- The player cannot leave the room they're in until all enemies are defeated. +- The player cannot stop an attack until it's animation is finished. + +Outcome: +- The game ends when the player runs out of time or health +- The player is scored based on the number of enemies defeated +- After the game end screen, the game is reset for the next person.
