The Ghost is your Friend

This project was one of two examinating projects that I made in a high school programming course. I wasn't quite able to get the second one finished by the end of the course, which is why I'm not linking it here, but we were only really supposed to make one anyways. It's made on a single canvas screen (excluding text rendering), which is a bad way to do things when working in HTML, but I didn't realize that until it was too late to change.

In the game, you play as an evil demon trying to kill emojis together with a ghost friend. Walk around on an infinite plane, kill approaching foes, and pick up their cash! Then use the money to level up, gaining new skills or upgrading old ones.

What I'm sure was a thrilling moment of gameplay. Gameplay example.

The Ghost is your Friend

The ghost was actually a last-day addition (or last-two-days, anyways). I originally just had the demon, but the best strategy was always to just run away and weave between the enemies and projectiles, and that wasn't very fun. So I added the ghost: A slow companion that you had to stay near in order to do any meaningful damage. This solved the issue, and also let me add a few interesting ghost-related abilities.
