Well, I never actually planned to do this at first, but I just went ahead and did it! This is actually the first game I've created on my own which wasn't just a tutorial or part of a course! Anyway, the idea of this game is that you are a guy with a shield, and there are a bunch of baddies, and you want to bash them with your shield! You're able to swing the shield, block, and reflect projectiles. You have a stamina bar, and if it hits 0 then your shield may be taken from you, so be careful! However, if you do happen to drop your shield, simply run into it to pick it up.

There is no credit reel or anything, so I'd like to take this time to give a shout out to C3PU and Darg0nn for helping me out when I ended up getting stuck.

Instructions:

left click: Bash
Right click(hold): Block
Left click while blocking: Block thrust
Aim: cursor
Move: WASD

A few things to note.

You can swing at projectiles to "reflect" them, both the shield bash and the block thrust will work.

Stars will fly in the direction of your cursor.

Thank you so much for your time, and have fun.
