The problem
The game needed an action loop in which movement, cooldown abilities, and growing infection pressure remain readable during repeated runs.
Creative technology / active
Heroes of the Host
Browser roguelite where an immune cell fights escalating infection waves with a small ability kit.
My role
Game design, combat and ability logic, browser interface, and deployment.
What I built
- Playable browser roguelite
- Wave encounters and cooldown ability kit
- Locally saved game state
The result
A self-contained browser game with repeatable runs and an immune-cell combat theme.

Implementation
How it works
The Phaser game combines wave encounters, cooldown abilities, progression, and local persistence. Arcade Physics handles movement and collisions; DOM overlays provide menus and controls over the canvas.
Technical context and methods
A standalone browser build is linked from the site. Its controls, combat loop, and saved local state form the playable release.
