What You’ll Build
Side-scrolling beat ‘em up. Walk right, punch enemies, fight bosses. Streets of Rage/Final Fight territory.
Walk into the screen. Enemies approach from all angles. Punch, kick, throw them into each other. Pick up weapons. Fight end-of-level bosses. This teaches depth sorting — the Y-axis layering that creates the illusion of 3D.
Skills You’ll Master
- Depth sorting — Y-axis layering
- Melee combat — punches, kicks, throws
- Combo systems — chained attacks
- Multiple enemies — crowd management
- Health and damage — combat systems
- Pseudo-3D movement — walking “into” screen
- Stage progression — advancing through levels
- Multiple characters — player selection
- Weapon pickups — temporary power-ups
- Boss encounters — unique enemies
