ECHOLASH

FEEL THE BEAT. BREAK THE LOOP. ECHOLASH is a top-down hack & slash where combat, music, and progression collide into something that shouldn't work — but does. Every sound you hear is generated in real-time. Every dungeon is built from scratch. Every enemy is drawn with code. The entire game is 5 MB. And it will consume hours of your life. ⚔️ SPATIAL TIMING COMBAT Forget button mashing. Two circles surround your character: - The outer circle is your attack range - The inner circle breathes slowly — this is your timing window When an enemy enters the inner circle and you strike — COMBO. Hit it on the music's beat — PERFECT. Chain them together and watch the damage multiply up to 3.5x. This isn't a rhythm game that punishes you. The beat is a bonus, never a penalty. But once you feel it... you can't stop chasing it. 🎵 PROCEDURAL DUBSTEP SOUNDTRACK No audio files. No pre-recorded tracks. ECHOLASH generates its own dubstep music in real-time: - Wobble bass that reacts to your power level - Drum patterns that intensify with your combo - Dark pads that shift with dungeon biomes - Tempo that accelerates as you chain kills The music isn't background — it's a weapon. 🔄 REBIRTH & PRESTIGE Kill. Grow. Hit the power threshold. Rebirth. Each rebirth resets your progress but multiplies your power permanently. 10 rebirths unlock the Final Boss. Defeat it, and you unlock Prestige — resetting everything for an even greater global multiplier. - 10 Rebirth layers with scaling difficulty - Prestige system with exclusive upgrades - Echo Shards — permanent currency across rebirths - 11 upgrades including Prestige-only abilities 🗡️ 4 WEAPON TYPES - Sword — balanced melee with reliable combos - Hammer — massive AoE and knockback - Bow — ranged precision, fires toward your cursor - Staff — magic missiles with splash potential Each weapon drops with random prefixes, suffixes, and 5 rarity tiers from Common to Legendary. 👹 10 UNIQUE ENEMIES Every enemy is hand-designed with geometric art and unique abilities: - Wraith — teleports behind you - Spider — shoots webs that slow you - Knight — energy shield blocks your attacks - Golem — ground slam AoE - Cultist — dark orb projectiles from range - Shadow Demon — turns invisible - Boss Demon — 3-phase projectile patterns - Boss Dragon — triple fire breath cone 🔥 ACTIVE ABILITIES - Z — Fireball: Launch a massive projectile toward your cursor - X — Heal: Restore 35% HP (unlocks at Rebirth 2) - C — Shield: Block 80% damage for 3 seconds (unlocks at Rebirth 5) 🌍 4 BIOMES Each rebirth cycle shifts the dungeon's biome: - Forest — tanky enemies, slower pace - Ice — fragile but fast enemies - Lava — heavy-hitting foes, high rewards - Void — everything is dangerous 💾 SMALL SIZE.
