Read the full Starter recipe

Build a small, playable browser game inspired by "BoneCrawler" (Action).
Concept: NES-Style Dark Fantasy Arcade Action.
Tech: use plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript (or a lightweight engine you know); keep it to a single page that loads instantly with no login or install.
Controls (as seen on the original's screen): WASD to move, click to shoot/attack, tap on mobile, Esc/P to pause. Show them on a short how-to-play screen.
Players: single-player.
Core loop: include a visible score, progress saved in localStorage.
Audio: add simple sound effects and music (start audio on the first click/tap).
Steps: 1) get the core mechanic playable with placeholder shapes, 2) add win/lose conditions and restart, 3) polish feel, visuals and sound, 4) add your own twist (setting, character or one new rule).
Make it your own: don't copy the original's name, art, text or code.
