🎯 Theme Interpretation

Theme: Medieval

Castle: Last Stand puts the player in the boots of a lone dark knight making their final defense against endless waves of undead. The setting, enemies, and atmosphere are rooted entirely in medieval fantasy — crumbling castles, cursed forests, and ancient crypts. The core tension is classic medieval siege: outnumbered, outmatched, last one standing.

⚙️ Core Mechanics

• Wave Survival — Enemies spawn in increasingly difficult waves. Survive all 10 to win.
• Melee Combat — Attack nearby enemies with a sword swing (Space or Mouse Click).
• Shockwave Ability — Press Shift to unleash a magic explosion that wipes all enemies on screen, at the cost of half your Stamina bar.
• Stamina System — Stamina (ST) drains on attacks and the shockwave, and regenerates over time. Manage it carefully.
• Score & Waves — Score enough points to advance waves. Higher waves spawn faster, tougher enemies.
• Level Selection — Choose from 3 battlefields (Castle, Forest, Crypt), each with a distinct visual theme.
• Difficulty — Easy, Normal, and Hard affect enemy speed and spawn rate.

🗺️ Levels

• Castle — The classic medieval battlefield. Balanced enemy speed and spawn rate.
• Forest — A cursed dark forest. Enemies close in from all directions.
• Crypt — An underground tomb. The toughest environment, dimly lit and relentless.

🐛 Known Issues and Bugs

• Sound effects require the game to be run via a local server (python3 -m http.server) rather than opened directly as a file in some browsers — Chrome handles direct file opening best.
• Stamina regeneration continues briefly after the shockwave is used.
• No mobile/touch support.
