Choose you weapon of choice and embark on the Heroes path!  2D top-down survival game where you must battle relentless foes. As the lone hero, your goal is simple: survive for as long as possible against increasingly challenging odds. Do you have what it takes?

Hello:

This is my first game, So please be kind! I really tried to focus on getting the fundamentals down and making sure any features I added felt smooth, so I hope that comes across.

I would really appreciate any insight, advice or criticism on the game so I can make my next game better!

There is a lot I would like to have added like more enemy's and different rooms for the player to battle through. However I feel I reached a good level of content considering my skill and the allocated time for the Game Jam.

Game Jam Theme: "Choose your path"

This was the theme provided for the Practice Game Jam. I choose to adhere to this theme by allowing the player to choose between the path of the Archer,  the path of the Warrior and the path of the Mage.


Controls:

WASD to Move

Space to Dodge

Left Click to attack

Right Click to Special Attack


Hint:

The game can get quite tricky as time goes on, especially for the those that choose the path of the warrior. 

The Warrior can cut enemy projectiles out of the air!

The Ranger can struggle to kill the spiders, if you get close enough with your special ability you can one shot them!

The mage is squishy so focus your main attacks on destroying enemy projectiles and use your faster cooldown special attack to bring down enemy's.

Finally keep an eye out for food to keep your health topped up.

I will be playing this live tomorrow 5/11 around 630-7 PM EST.

Excellent little game, the movement of the archer and mage feel good, as so the special moves. One thing to note is that the wizard is OP as they can delete projectiles like the warrior! The warrior is quite hard to use, they could do with being faster to mitigate the projectiles at point blank range. The art is clean and simple to view and understand what is going on. Excellent submission, great work!
