Lilith's Game ~ Pirate Jam 17

"Hello there! Let's play a little game."

Lilith's Game:

• This turn-based game has 10 rounds. During each round, you and Lilith will take turns making moves. The goal is to deplete Lilith's health within the 10 rounds.
• YOU CAN ONLY ATTACK HER ONCE. If you fail to defeat her in one attack, you will lose.
• You have a total of 5 moves, including the attacking move. Use your other moves to boost your damage output, increase the time given each round, and more.
• To determine the effectiveness of each move, complete a rhythm-based skillcheck.
• During Lilith's turn, if she has enough energy, she will attack you. Survive the onslaught of attacks.
• This game is endless. Each subsequent match will grant Lilith buffs. How long can you last?

Controls:

• W A S D (or arrow keys): move character during Lilith's attack phase, skillcheck input
• Spacebar: skillcheck input
• Esc: pause
• M1:  to click buttons

Tips:

• Boosting accuracy increases the size of the green skillcheck target area, increasing the effectiveness of your moves.
• Prioritise extending round duration first: This allows you to increase the potential increment of your other moves.
• The damage skillcheck can go beyond 100%: This means you do not need to buff damage as much to match Lilith's health.
• For subsequent levels, different dialogues indicate different raises in stats. This will affect your strategy.
  • "I'm not going down so easily!" -  Lilith has an additional increase in health. Further boost your damage!
  • "You won't land a hit this time!" - The target area in the skillchecks are smaller, making it harder to boost stats or increase damage. Boost your accuracy!
  • "Let's pick up the pace!" - Each turn has a shorter duration, including Lilith's turns. Increase the duration of the timer to counteract this!
  • "I won't hold back this time!" - All of Lilith's attacks do more damage. Boost your defences, or just get good!
