Order Druid

A turn-based, shape-shifting tactical puzzle-like game!

Step into the shoes of a captive shape-shifter in Order Druid, a strategic grid-based survival game where every move counts. Trapped on a treacherous 8x8 arena filled with deadly hazards, cunning enemies, and falling rocks, you must use your magical transformations to outsmart your foes and stay alive. Plan your actions, choose your form, and manipulate the battlefield in this tense game of cat, wolf, and bomber!

🌀 The Druid's Transformations

As a shape-shifting Druid, you can switch between three distinct forms, each with its own tactical advantages. You can face North, South, East, or West, and your chosen form dictates what happens next:

1. 🧍 Human Form: Your base form, allowing you to observe, strategize, and reposition your facing direction without committing to a dangerous strike or movement.
2. 🐈 Cat Form (Agility): Swift and nimble! When in Cat form, the Druid leaps forward one tile in the direction they are facing. Perfect for dodging hazards or making a quick escape.
3. 🐺 Wolf / Bull Form (Power): Pure brute strength! In this form, you unleash a vicious attack on the tile right in front of you.
4. If there's a normal enemy, you slaughter them.
5. If it's an unkillable rock-enemy, you forcefully shove them to the next tile—perfect for pushing them out of the way or into lava!

💀 The Enemies

You are not alone in the arena. You'll face a variety of hostile creatures that react to your every move:

1. 👺 Chasers (Normal Enemies): Relentless foes that actively pathfind and hunt you down. They'll try to corner you, forcing you to fight or flee.
2. 💣 Bomber Enemies: Unpredictable saboteurs that wander the map. Every 3 turns, they drop a ticking time bomb!
3. 🗿 Unkillable Enemies (The Rock Golems): Imposing, rock-solid entities. You can't kill them with a simple attack, but you can use your Wolf form to push them around the board like giant chess pieces.

🌋 Hazards & Play Stages

The arena is just as dangerous as the monsters within it. You'll need to use the environment to your advantage (or avoid being destroyed by it):

1. 🔥 Lava Pits: Scattered across the map are pools of deadly lava. One wrong step into the magma and it's game over! However, you can push enemies into the lava if you're clever.
2. 💣 Ticking Bombs: Bombs dropped by Bomber Enemies count down turn-by-turn. When the fuse hits zero, they detonate in a massive cross-shaped blast, obliterating anything caught in the crossfire!
3. 🪨 Falling Rock Traps: Keep your eyes on the ground! Every 3 turns, ominous warning indicators appear on random tiles. Once the trap activates, massive rocks plummet from the sky, instantly crushing anyone—Druid or enemy—unlucky enough to be standing there.

⏳ Tactical Turn-Based Flow

The game operates on a calculated, turn-based system. You select your facing direction and transformation through a radial/button menu, and then the turn resolves:

1. Your Action: You shift forms and execute your move/attack.
2. Environmental Hazards: Bombs tick down (and explode!), and falling rocks come crashing down.
3. Enemy Phase: The surviving enemies calculate their paths, hunt you, drop bombs, and try to trap you.

Will you survive the arena, outwit the bombers, and master the forms of the Order Druid?
