GAME MECHANICS:

• The end goal is to live through each arena and escape. There are 3 arena’s in total.
• There are enemies that will come out in waves. The enemies goals are simply to kill the player.
• The player will have a health and mana system. 
• Once the player’s health hits 0 the player dies and the game is over. 
• The player has different types of attacks based on the item equipped. 
• The basic attack of each item is a simple area of effect attack in front of the player that will do minimal damage. 
• Each round the player stays in the arena the harder the enemies will get. Meaning they will gain health and attack damage. 
• After each round the player will have a chance to summon the boss or to fight the regular grunts in the arena again. 
• Each time the player chooses to fight the grunts the enemies will scale to a harder difficulty. 
• The player can buy new weapons at the end of each wave at a price. They will have a choice at buying a weapon from a grey box, a blue box, a purple box, or an orange box.  The higher the rarity the better the weapon but also the more expensive the cost is. Additionally the weapon received will be random but the rarity of the weapon is guaranteed. 
• If the player defeats the boss then they will move onto the next arena. 
• The mana system will correlate to the power of the item used. The stronger the item’s effect the more mana consumed during use. 
• Mana will recharge overtime at a constant rate. 
• Health will recharge overtime at a constant rate, however it will be fairly slow. 
• Enemy scaling occurs only in the current arena once the player leaves that arena the enemy scaling is set back to 0.
