Summary:
Temple Escape Game
Multiple difficulty levels
Procedural level generation
High score and timer systems
Editable controls and settings
Character selection
Coded in Java
The game has multiple difficulty levels which affect the procedural level generation. This is done by adding a multiplier in the spawning algorithms based on the difficulty selected to generate more enemies, traps, objectives, and walls.
The scoring system is based on collectibles that the player can grab in addition to completing each level. This promotes gameplay beyond just beelining it to the end of each level. Scores are tracked and can be viewed on a high-score page.
Players can select different characters and change their controls within settings pages. Settings and scores are stored client-side as there are no database or network implementations.
The turn-based design is implemented by running the game frame-by-frame where each user input causes the game to move to the next frame.
Although this is how the game runs, there is still a timer that runs in real-time as well as background music playing in real time. The frame-by-frame gameplay was mostly a design choice.
