🚀 The Lobby

The Lobby is a 2D 8-bit style game, with a top-down view, where the player needs to repair 6 fuse boxes in a maze-like environment inspired by the Backrooms. The enemy, the Bacteria, hunts the player using the BFS algorithm. The objective is to escape after repairing the fuses, fleeing through a door.

🎯 Objective

The project aims to create an immersive experience where the player must solve challenges and dodge enemies in a mysterious environment. The motivation of the game is to provide tense gameplay, combining exploration and strategy, where the use of graph search algorithms (BFS) is essential for enemy movement. The game also demonstrates how algorithms can be applied in 2D games for AI interaction.
