# Hexwarden

> **Brew. Cast. Survive.**

A top-down survival roguelike where you play as a witch holding her ground against endless waves of slimes. Collect magical fruits, brew powerful potions, and unleash devastating spells — for as long as you can.

Built with **Godot 4.6** as part of a university game engineering course at Hochschule Mannheim.

## About the Project

Hexwarden was built for the *Game Engineering* course (Prof. Dr. Kai Eckert, Hochschule Mannheim, SS 2026). None of us had significant game development experience when we started — this is a learning project made with a lot of trial, error, and genuine enthusiasm for the genre.

Inspired by [Vampire Survivors](https://store.steampowered.com/app/1794680/Vampire_Survivors/).

We're still actively developing it — expect bugs, rough edges, and future updates.
