Combat Example/Kit

What is this?

The Combat Example Game Kit is a remixable project that anyone can use to build a game with enemy NPCs, weapons, shops, and collectable drops. It also has some bonus content to help you build custom player templates, projectile templates, and teleporters.

To use the kit, you just need to remix to create your own copy, then you can change properties on scripts in the entities and databases to build completely new games.

How Do I Play?

The First Island

• Your player starts with a rusty sword. You can interact by clicking (or tapping the bottom button in mobile) to use it on an enemy, and once you unlock other weapons, you can swap to them with the F key or by tapping the sword in the bottom of the HUD.
• You move around with the W,A,S, and D keys (or with the virtual joystick in the bottom right corner). Once you move close enough to the bat, however, it will fly after you and do damage if it hits you.
• Once you defeat the bat, it will drop a coin. You can see how many coins you have collected in the top of the HUD.
• If you interact with the bone piles scattered around the island, you can uncover potions.
• At the opposite side of the island is a wooden bridge. Touching it will teleport you to the next island.

The Second Island

• You will encounter two skeletons here, one with a mace melee weapon, and another with a bow and arrow ranged weapon.
• Notice that if you run far enough from these enemies they will go back to where they started, once your distance exceeds their maximum distance from spawn.
• If you take the top rope bridge on the right side of this island, you will enter a peaceful healing area. If you take the bottom rope bridge, you will find the shops where you can unlock more weapons.

Peaceful Healing Island

• Take the top bridge from the second island to find an area with no enemy NPCs and two areas marked with sparkling particle effects.
• Enter one of the areas to heal over time. This is actually a damage over time template with a negative damage value!
• Take the rope bridge back to the first island.

Shops Island

• From the bottom rope bridge on the second island, you can reach an island that has purchasable player weapons.
• If you get close to one of the pedestals with a weapon on it, you will see a "BUY" pop-up text. Interact to trade coins for weapons.
• Use the F key or tap the sword icon in the bottom HUD to swap to your new weapon.
  
• Take the bridge to the right to get to the final island.

The Final Island

• On the left side of the final island you'll find three goblin enemy NPCs with melee ranged weapons.
• Notice that these goblins have a very short respawn delay, so they will come back to life almost as quickly as they die.
• You can interact with the area behind the goblins to search and find collectable coins.
• To the right, you can find the final boss goblin, with its flame particle effect hair. Defeating this enemy will drop a collectable key. You can see how many keys you have in the top of the HUD.
• Use the key to open the chest. Congratulations, you beat the example game!

Your game data is persisted, so if you want to play through again as a brand-new player, you will need to reset your data.

• Click the red button in the middle of the left side of your screen. This will reset your data.
