Embark on a challenging survival adventure with the goal of reaching the highest level. Be ready for growing challenges as the amount of rooms increases and arenas expand in size at each level.

In the ever-evolving gameplay of Void Guardian, the transition between levels is marked by distinct thresholds that significantly influence the gaming experience. These thresholds act as key milestones, introducing notable changes to various parameters, ensuring a progressive and engaging journey for players.
Between each threshold, the changes in parameters are gradual, ensuring a smooth progression in difficulty and complexity. However, the transition from one threshold to another brings about more pronounced alterations, making the gameplay experience more challenging and visually distinct.
FIRST_THRESHOLD = 6
SECOND_THRESHOLD = 9
-
0 Threshold (Before FIRST_THRESHOLD): In the initial stages of the game, before reaching the FIRST_THRESHOLD, players experience a gradual introduction to the game's mechanics. Challenges are relatively mild, offering a chance to familiarize themselves with the controls and basic gameplay;
-
1 Threshold (Before SECOND_THRESHOLD): As players surpass the FIRST_THRESHOLD but remain below the SECOND_THRESHOLD, the game's intensity starts to escalate. Parameters shift, creating a more demanding environment. However, these changes are still incremental, allowing players to adapt progressively to the evolving challenges;
-
2 Threshold (After SECOND_THRESHOLD): Beyond the SECOND_THRESHOLD, the game enters a stable phase. Here, parameters cease to fluctuate, offering a consistent and challenging experience. Visual elements, such as background and room structures, remain constant, creating a sense of stability in the game's aesthetics.
-
Gun Number (for enemy guns and armory rooms) and Enemy Character Number Generation:
- Utilizes an exponential distribution, where lower exponents correspond to higher probabilities of obtaining larger values. This affects the gun spawn number and enemy spawn number. Result: higher chances of encountering powerful weapons and formidable adversaries with each level, amplifying gameplay challenge.
- Gradually decreases the exponents with level and decreases more sharply with changes in threshold.
-
Background and Boundary Numbers:
- Witness specific changes at each threshold for noticeable aesthetic shifts.
-
Enemy Spawn Configuration:
- Adjusts enemy quantity and spawn intervals based on the level.
- The amount of enemies gradually increases, and the spawn interval decreases with level and more sharply with a change in the threshold.
-
Arena Random Size:
- Defines the minimum and maximum size of the arena.
- Gradually increases with the level and increases more sharply with changes in the threshold.
-
Bullet Spread:
- Refers to the spread of enemy shots.
- Gradually decreases with the level and decreases more sharply with changes in the threshold.
-
Map Dimensions:
- Determines the amount of rooms horizontally and vertically.
- Gradually increases with the level and increases more sharply with changes in the threshold.

Playable characters are controlled by the player, while enemies pose a threat and must be defeated for progress in the game.
In the dynamic world of the game, understanding the mechanics behind damage and weaponry is crucial for survival and success. The damage inflicted by bullets is calculated based on a formula that considers armor strength and penetration. Here's a glimpse of the damage calculation formula:
character.armor_strength -= bullet.armor_penetration;
if (character.armor_strength < 0) { character.armor_strength = 0; }
damage = bullet.damage - character.armor_strength * character.armor;
if (damage > 0) { character.health -= damage; }
Available arsenal, each with its unique characteristics. The table below provides an overview of various guns, detailing their reload time, bullet type, damage, armor penetration, and speed. Each weapon corresponds to a specific type of bullet.
