How to play

The game is split into 3 phases:

Planning Phase

You can move the player by clicking on him and choosing where to move next. When you move, a smoke bomb will be left behind. In the top right corner, you can see how many moves you have left before entering the attacking phase.

Attacking Phase

The attacking phase is started by pressing the Attack button. First, your smoke bomb trail will explode and damage any enemies standing next to it— in the cardinal directions. After the explosions, enemies will attack using their specific patterns, which vary based on their hair color.

Moving Phase

Enemies will move one step closer to your kingdom and spawn new enemies in the last row. After this phase, the game returns to the planning phase.

Tip: You can click on an enemy to see its attack pattern!

Story

Your kingdom is in a financial crisis after the king lost the tax money to gambling. Just when things couldn't get any worse, a distant and powerful kingdom declares war. With nearly empty coffers, there's only enough gold to send one warrior to defend the entire kingdom.

"I ran out of time, and nothing turned out the way I wanted. This was my first time ever building a game without Unity or Godot, and also my first time using Java. I hope you will enjoyed it, even though it was originally planned to be totally different."
