🎮 What We're Building

A top-down adventure game just like the original Legend of Zelda! Your hero walks in all four directions, fights bouncing slime enemies with a sword, collects a chest, and escapes through a locked door.

🧒 For the Child

Have you ever played Zelda? It's a game where a little hero explores a world full of puzzles and monsters. We're going to make our OWN version with our own hero, our own slimes, and our own dungeon to explore. You'll even make a SWORD to fight with!

👨‍👩‍👧 For the Grown-Up

Episode 4 of My First Video Game. Biggest new concepts: top-down 4-directional movement (no gravity!), a sword hitbox using a short-lived Area2D, bouncing slime AI using velocity reflection, a chest with an open/close state, and a locked door that opens when a key is collected. All new patterns, no prior episodes required.

✨ What You'll Make

  • A hero who walks in all 4 directions
  • Walls they can't walk through
  • A sword attack with a button press
  • A bouncing slime enemy
  • A chest to open and collect a key
  • A locked door that opens with the key
  • A hearts health system
  • A win screen when you escape!
