Boss Rushdown

This was a short game I made in June of 2025 for a class assignment, and I would consider to be my first "proper" video game, (not counting stuff like scratch for reasons that would be apparent if you were to see my scratch creations) so don't expect anything of too high quality. I am choosing to upload it here in the current state, making no changes for the sake of preservation.

Story:

One day, the gates of the town of Albedo are broken down, and a torrent of monsters flow in. The town's guards were decimated in the opening waves. One adventurer, however, decides to fight the hordes all own their own. They know that if they can defeat the Orc King, the monsters will be repelled. In order to fight him, they need to get stronger from defeating the other monsters... however it won't be long until The Orc King notices them...

Controls:

WASD to move

Space to attack

E to buy items

M to mute music

Defeat The Orc King before you are overwhelmed to win the game!
