RatStabber
Alright here's the vision
- Player moves around, camera follows player
- Enemies are rat bots
- All have melee attacks
- Some can throw guns
- Some can actually fire guns (they are slower)
- Fast fuckers
- Minecraft creeper rats (explode)
- You are defending the real rat
- The rat is the one that canonically gives you a powerup at the end of each wave.
- You attack with a sword
- Damage scales with speed
- Faithful to the original game, you get a new powerup every wave
- More health
- More base damage
- More speed
- Wider attack range
- Farther attack range
- Lower attack cooldown
