Deteriorator

Use WASD or arrow keys to move. Attack slimes to collect XP and health. Every level up gives an option for which weapon to upgrade. Every upgrade choice comes with a nerf. Choose wisely and strategically to survive. Once all weapons are maxed out, you will lose all your upgrades and nerfs and fight a boss. Defeat it to win.

Weapons:

Shuriken: Thrown towards the current player direction.

Pulse: A bubble around the player dealing damage when entered.

Lightning: attacks the nearest enemy with splash damage.

Boss:

In this fight, you will lose your powers and be reset to level 1. The boss cycles through all 3 attacks in the same order every time. After the third attack, the boss stands still for a few seconds. Maximize damage with all your weapons at this moment. The boss will flash white three times before starting its attack cycle again.

Boss Attacks and Tips:

Attack 1: The boss dashes towards the player and slashes. Dodge this by moving away from the boss.

Attack 2: The boss dashes towards the player and slashes left or right towards the player. The boss repeats this 3 times. Dodge this by starting at the top or bottom of the screen and slowly moving up or down before each slash.

Attack 3: The boss slashes 3 times, spawning arrows that follow the player. Dodge this by moving in circles. Here you can also get a few hits with the shuriken.

Good luck :)
