Combat Design

The game’s setting is during a jailbreak, and the primary responsibility is to design and implement the map of ordinary enemies and a boss. When I started designing the game, I first thought of two antagonists to fit the background: escaped prisoners and armed guards. So, only two versions of AI were made during the initial production.

Boss Design

The Boss's battle cycle revolves around a block-attack-block cycle. The player needs to avoid being blocked by the Boss and falling into rigidity, and the player also needs to stop the Boss's attacks, prevent taking damage, and fight back.
