The spooky rogue-like game is one of my first attempts at making an HTML-based mobile game. The game came from a joint project where our goal was to make a game on anything we wanted. I wanted to create a game where the player could repeatedly replay while improving on each play.

This need for replayability caused the need for a shop. The shop values also had to remain the same from death to death to help the player improve over time.

Since it is a phone game, we needed to come up with a way for the player to feel the improvement. I didn’t want to do another tap game, so we created a game where the player taps and moves the character to a location. With some help from the code, when the player is in range of a monster the game automatically moves the player.

The player constantly fights monsters going from level to level until they die. This is when they can upgrade. 

For the first attempt at a project like this, I felt it went well, I would have changed some key features like movement and some better creatures but with a restricted time limit, there is only so much you can do.
