Mechanics
Lymphorce employs a plethora of mechanics centered around proximity to the opponent. In addition to the basic movement and attack ranges, each unit has their own special abilities that require careful management of positioning. These special abilities work in tandem with each other to facilitate strategies employed by the player.
Scripting
The scripting for Lymphorce was somewhat challenging given that almost everything that was visible to the player was done programmatically. Even the levels were generated from a spreadsheet that was fed in, interpreted, and generated by code. For a full code breakdown click on the link below!
