About your game

What is your game about?
Crypt of the Sprig is a 5-floor turn-based dungeon crawler built around grid positioning, resource management, and melee combat.

You play as an unarmored knight descending through ancient catacombs, prison cells, an armory, and a shrine before reaching the dragon's lair. Enemies only move and retaliate when you take an action, making positioning and turn economy critical.

Key features:

• Turn-based tactical movement and dedicated sword slashing mechanics with directional slash animations.
• Floor progression with locked dungeon gates, hidden keys, and healing potions.
• Character progression: finding the legendary broadsword in the armory permanently upgrades your attack damage and evolves your character sprite to wield a glowing cyan blade.
• A final multi-hit dragon boss encounter guarding the Amulet of Yendor.

How do you play your game?
Controls:

• W / A / S / D: Move up, left, down, right (bump into enemies to attack).
• K or J: Swing sword towards the facing tile (auto-targets adjacent foes if facing a wall).
• L: Rest / wait a turn (skip turn to let enemies step into melee range).
• I: Alternative Up (handheld comfort).

Objective:

1. Clear each floor by finding the keys to unlock cell doors and reaching the stairs (e).
2. Grab potions (h) to restore HP when low.
3. Search Floor 3 for the enchanted broadsword (s) to double your attack power.
4. Defeat the fire dragon (b) on Floor 5 and collect the glowing Amulet (a) to escape!

Hey! We don't approve AI generated games to keep sprig human, I can't say with certainty whether AI was used, but there are several patterns that are commonly associated with AI-assisted code generation.

I am not concluding that it is entirely AI-generated. However, I do think there are strong indicators that AI was used particularly in the implementation and commenting style. For that, I am not going to approve your game.

If you believe the AI-use call is wrong, you can appeal once within 14 days: reply to this PR with /appeal followed by an explanation. Explain how you made the game, and point to things that show it (your commit history, earlier drafts, what a specific part of the code does). A manager will decide.
