Controls

The controls are basic WASD Movement, left click for a sword attack where you are facing, right click for a ranged attack where the mouse is, space to pick up items and purchase items, and left click to interact with the on-screen buttons. 

Gameplay

The player starts on the main menu screen, where they can choose to play, view the controls, or view the help menu.

The controls menu explains the above (controls), and the help menu explains the mechanics listed below. 

Once they hit play, the player can choose whether to enter the dark forest, or to go to their HOME. 

The forest contians enemies such as bats and shadowmen, which can be killed for money and items. There are bushes the player can hide in, to stay safe from the enemies, and keys scattered around the map that open chests for rarer items. There is a button to view your inventory (and pause the game), and a button to return to the previous screen. The player can also exit the forest via a tunnel at the bottom of the screen. 

The HOME contains broken down buildings that require money to upgrade. These upgrades will in turn make the player more powerful, increasing damage, health, inventory size and luck. These upgrades increase in cost as they get more powerful, but as the player gets more powerful they will make more money, so they both scale nicely with eachother.  If the player upgrades everything they get a nice prize at the end.
