Core gameplay

● Inheriting the characteristics of game templates such as "Jump of Sky" and "Shoot of Sky", it has self-developed physics systems, forces, touches, movements, and other settings

● Supports melee attacks, with different weapons corresponding to different actions and combos

● Custom actions and functions, such as squatting, sprinting, etc

● Customize collision shapes for calculating the impact judgment of attacks and various skills on targets (collision detection)

● Slope support, adjustable resistance and other parameters, supports playing unique actions on slopes (such as standby actions can be changed to slope standby actions)

● Various mechanisms of enemies can be set based on actions, skills, collisions, etc., as well as corresponding evasion techniques

● AI logic that allows visual freedom to control enemies

● Skills to create various effects using animation K-frames, custom collision ranges, and multiple parameter settings

● Control the collision range of each frame of the Avatar attack action to hit the enemy.

Basic Introduction

● Corresponding actions can be set based on behavior and weapon category:

For example, standing+axe attack=Action 19- "Standby - Attack 1"

For example, jump+axe attack=Action 29- 'Jump Attack 1'

For example, standing+short sword attack=Action 20- "Standby - Attack 2"

For example, squat+short sword attack=Action 40- "squat attack 2"

And the same behavior+weapon category can also play different actions according to different button settings

For example, both are standing+short sword attacks, pressing the [X] key=standing forward attack (action), while pressing the [Up]+[X] key=standing upward attack (action)

● Support combo attacks, based on the corresponding attack actions introduced above, each final action played can be an action group, based on continuous key presses

Play the actions in the action group in order or randomly, and set the damage bonus ratio. For example, pressing the [X] key continuously will emit three different styles

The first strike deals 100% damage, the second strike deals 150% damage, and the final strike deals 200% damage.

● You can set the playback frame rate for different actions in each character, and the attack actions will also be affected by the "attack speed" attribute, such as wearing a piece of clothing

Equipment with attack speed+100% will double the playback speed of your character's attack actions!
