Ember Survivors
Hold your lantern, outlast the tide, live to see the dawn. Weapons fire on their own while you dodge the swarm, pick upgrades and evolve them for a ten-minute night.
Controls: Controls are shown inside the game. Click the game screen once to give it keyboard focus.
The Ember Survivors prompt
This is the exact prompt from the game’s package, word for word. Copy it, paste it into Manus and change any line to make the game your own.
Make a 2D survivor-style roguelite: hold out against waves of monsters through the night until dawn. - Gameplay: you only control movement, and weapons attack automatically. Defeated monsters drop experience, and each level-up offers a choice of three new weapons or upgrades. Maxed weapons can evolve when combined with specific items. Elite monsters and chests appear along the way. - Content: 1 map and 10-minute runs, with a final boss in the last minute; 6 to 8 weapons and several passive items; a few permanent upgrades between runs. - Polish: stays smooth with huge numbers of enemies on screen, screen-filling skill effects, well-paced level-up choices, and a damage breakdown on the results screen. It should feel like a proper indie game: a consistent, original and distinctive art style (pixel art or hand-drawn, pick one and stick with it), with care for animation, particles, screen shake and sound so hits and controls feel right, and a game-like UI; a title screen, pause, settings, results and a local best score, with a short controls tutorial on first play; English UI and text; fully playable with keyboard, mouse or gamepad on desktop, and playable in landscape on phones. All characters, art, music and text must be original. Play it all the way through yourself, fix any feel, difficulty or UI issues, then give me a playable preview.
