Gustaf the Werewolf Slayer Game
A 2D side-scrolling platformer built with HTML5 Canvas, JavaScript and jQuery
Overview
The game itself is simple to describe. You guide the swordsman Gustaf across a long, scrolling world of platforms and gaps, avoid or stomp werewolves, collect coins and gems, and reach the flagpole at the end. Beyond the game, the project was a way to practice core frontend skills: a canvas render loop, sprite animation, collision detection, menu and modal UI, and saving data in the browser.
Highlights
- Built from scratch with no game engine. The game runs on plain Canvas and JavaScript.
