THE DROWNED STARS

A cosmic-horror bullet hell

A complete 3-stage vertical bullet-hell game for the browser. Everything —

every sprite, background, menu, and sound effect — is generated in code

(HTML5 Canvas + vanilla JavaScript + the WebAudio API). There are no external

image or audio files, so the whole game is a handful of tiny text files.

CONTROLS

--------

Move            Arrow Keys or WASD

Focus (slow, precision + graze)   Shift (hold)

Ward (screen-clear + boss damage) X   -- limited uses

Third Eye (ultimate, needs full Insight meter)   C

Pause           Esc or P

Everything content-related lives in game.js:

  - DIFF               difficulty tuning (lives, wards, bullet speed, etc.)

  - STAGES             the 3 stages: story text, enemy waves, boss configs

  - Pattern            bullet-pattern building blocks used by enemies/bosses

  - ENDING text         inside Game.showEnding()

Feel free to add a 4th stage by copying a STAGES entry, or add a new enemy

type in spawnEnemy()/updateEnemy() and a matching case in drawEnemy().
