ECHOLASH

FEEL THE BEAT. BREAK THE LOOP.

ECHOLASH is a top-down hack & slash where combat, music, and progression collide into something that shouldn't work — but does.

Every sound you hear is generated in real-time. Every dungeon is built from scratch. Every enemy is drawn with code. The entire game is 5 MB. And it will consume hours of your life.
⚔️ SPATIAL TIMING COMBAT

Forget button mashing. Two circles surround your character:

The outer circle is your attack range

The inner circle breathes slowly — this is your timing window

When an enemy enters the inner circle and you strike — COMBO. Hit it on the music's beat — PERFECT. Chain them together and watch the damage multiply up to 3.5x.

This isn't a rhythm game that punishes you. The beat is a bonus, never a penalty. But once you feel it... you can't stop chasing it.
🎵 PROCEDURAL DUBSTEP SOUNDTRACK

No audio files. No pre-recorded tracks. ECHOLASH generates its own dubstep music in real-time:

Wobble bass that reacts to your power level

Drum patterns that intensify with your combo

Dark pads that shift with dungeon biomes

Tempo that accelerates as you chain kills

The music isn't background — it's a weapon.
🔄 REBIRTH & PRESTIGE

Kill. Grow. Hit the power threshold. Rebirth.

Each rebirth resets your progress but multiplies your power permanently. 10 rebirths unlock the Final Boss. Defeat it, and you unlock Prestige — resetting everything for an even greater global multiplier.

10 Rebirth layers with scaling difficulty

Prestige system with exclusive upgrades

Echo Shards — permanent currency across rebirths

11 upgrades including Prestige-only abilities
🗡️ 4 WEAPON TYPES

Sword — balanced melee with reliable combos

Hammer — massive AoE and knockback

Bow — ranged precision, fires toward your cursor

Staff — magic missiles with splash potential

Each weapon drops with random prefixes, suffixes, and 5 rarity tiers from Common to Legendary.
👹 10 UNIQUE ENEMIES

Every enemy is hand-designed with geometric art and unique abilities:

Wraith — teleports behind you

Spider — shoots webs that slow you

Knight — energy shield blocks your attacks

Golem — ground slam AoE

Cultist — dark orb projectiles from range

Shadow Demon — turns invisible

Boss Demon — 3-phase projectile patterns

Boss Dragon — triple fire breath cone

🌍 4 BIOMES

Each rebirth cycle shifts the dungeon's biome:

Forest — tanky enemies, slower pace

Ice — fragile but fast enemies

Lava — heavy-hitting foes, high rewards

Void — everything is dangerous
💾 SMALL SIZE. BIG DEPTH.

Zero audio files — music is math

Zero image files — characters are geometry

Zero pre-built levels — dungeons are algorithms
