Core Gameplay:

Dual Attack Styles: Sword slashing (stamina-based) and fireball projectiles (mana-based)
Boss 1 – fast-paced Robot: Teleports around the arena and fires rapid projectiles, forcing aggressive dash usage
Boss 2 – tactical Necromancer: Shoots triple blasts, summons skeleton mages, and spawns two shadow clones at 50% HP
Progression: 2 gems required to unlock the final room; deaths respawn the player without wiping gem progress
Polish: Hitstop, knockback feedback, particle effects, intro cutscene, and a victory screen

Data Persistence: ScoreSystem + PlayerPrefs to save gem progression across sessions

Systems Implemented

✮ Systems Implemented▾

Combat: Hitbox detection, damage calculation, knockback mechanics
Movement: 8-directional top-down movement with dash, stamina cost, and cooldown management
Boss AI: Coroutine-based ability timing, cooldown handling, and phase transitions (e.g. Necromancer clone phase)
UI: Real-time health, stamina, and mana bars; pause menu with resume, restart, controls, main menu, and quit
Audio: Centralized AudioManager for SFX playback
