Almost 1 year ago for the Heist Jam I made a game called Katandra: Hollow Heist. > [@Katandra: Hollow Heist (CopySprite's Heist Jam submission)](https://forum.makecode.com/t/katandra-hollow-heist-copysprites-heist-jam-submission/40518): > > The game jam ended 2 days ago and I was going to post this before but… It was never finished. The game’s half the length it should’ve been, the ending of the game was rushed and the final boss which was supposed to have special attacks like jumping in the air and throwing down spears just walks back and fourth… Here’s the game: In Katandra: Hollow Heist you will go on an adventure (A short one) to find the Void Amulet and stop the Oni from taking over the land of Katandra… Extra details: … This year I started working on another game from the same series called Katandra, after over a month of saying it’ll release next week, it’s finally here… Before I give you the link, I’m going to tell you basically everything about the game: * * * > **Oni Types** > > _The knights who say ni._ > > Every enemy has their own attack that they do every once in a while. > > > **Boni** > > > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/2/8/284416d25950c47976057678827f95e786a8839e.png) > > Boni are the weakest and most common type of oni. > > > > Every couple seconds they will jump, creating a damaging area of impact on landing. > > > **Oni** > > > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/3/a/3a31a5f1bf11d558d49beb63dfebec0c1888f052.png) > > Oni are slightly more powerful that Boni. > > > > Every couple seconds they will charge at you, dealing extra damage. > > > **Oxni** > > > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/1/9/19185a5f7254b65e3c7a10ec733f96145908f0db.png) > > Oxni are basically just Oni but better in every way, they’re bigger, stronger and faster. > > > > Every couple seconds they will charge at you, launching you into the air on impact. > > > **Roni** > > > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/d/6/d672cad85e373423b94d99f6c0c534ccb23b6aa5.png) > > Roni do not go up to you to attack, instead, they’re always trying to get away from you. > > > > Every couple seconds Roni will throw a rock at you, you can hit it with your weapon or ground pound on to destroy it. > > > **Zoni** > > > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/c/f/cf6aaf86de95b965657fe398b3a2f80481da8548.png) > > Zoni are the largest and strongest type of enemy, you need to double jump to get over them because they’re so tall. > > > > Every couple seconds they will jump towards you and create a damaging area on impact. > > They’re basically just Boni but 3x the size and strength. > > > **Veloni** > > > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/0/1/01205b27ed65013ed20564e7d85da3ae57aa067a.png) > > Veloni are the fastest type of oni, they go faster the longer they run without being stopped. > > > > Every couple seconds they will dash towards you, dealing extra damage. > > > **Stoni** > > > > ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/d/c/dc83529e27617ceec67e8a56d7ee503573e51c6c.png) > > Stoni have a lot of health but are slow. > > > > Every couple seconds they will launch a projectile at you. * * * > **Weapons** > > _You don’t get normal weapon names._ > > All the weapons are fairly equal in power. > > > **Spirit Katana** > > > > ![Icon](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/8/3/837d8a779a519d086c30750f55359e0817dc6ff5.png) > > The Spirit Katana is the starting weapon, it’s your usual melee attack. > > > > It can hit multiple enemies at once, knocks back enemies and deals more damage the closer you are. > > Despite being the starting weapon it’s actually really good. > > > **Spirit Shuriken** > > > > ![Icon](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/a/2/a2a7d25b297ee5af46d34aae5bb8b8162a5c1870.png) > > The Spirit Shuriken is a single target ranged weapon. > > In Katandra: Hollow Heist, the power difference between it and the katana was very large, now it’s not. > > > > To balance the shuriken I made it’s damage range based, it deals less damage at close range and more at long range. > > It also slows enemies a bit, to help keep them away. > > > **Phantom Claymore** > > > > ![Icon](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/6/7/671434832389d9de3ac2b3b0da068af914f03a06.png) > > The Phantom Claymore is a bigger and stronger melee weapon, or is it?

Bro ngl this game is actuallt built different and so tuff like it honestly makes me reconsider my style of games. The animations are SO SMOOTH and the coins bouncing off the ground are SO SATISFYING, and don’t even let me get started on those particles they are SO FAILED CAST ON NULLING SATISFYING!!! ---

This game is awesome and has perfect difficulty, but why would you state all the weapon types if only 3 of them are present in the demo? ---

Okay more multi-replying… > [@AgentBoom](#): > > why would you state all the weapon types if only 3 of them are present in the demo? All 6 are present, there are only 3 guaranteed weapons but you can get the rest from enemies. The chances to get a weapon from an enemy decreases each time you get a weapon. Also chests just give you a random weapon so if you replay the game it’ll probably be different. (I did a lot to make this game replayable) Thank you very much @YamJam, I now know that I suceeded in making the game feel polished. Thank you @Sword_Studios. Also nobody said what their favourite weapon was. My favorite is the Drift Dagger, it’s the hardest weapon to use but it’s high risk, high reward, which is fun. ---

ah i see i like drift dagger too, but its lwk easy to use you just swing it real fast whenever theres an enemy in front of you. btw i think that maybe the game would be cooler if you could chain together attacks with different weapons (you technically can, but the weapon switching makes it incredibly tedious). Idk if youve already considered this and decided against it for a reason but just saying ---

The ground pound doesn’t have knockback. Also… > [@TheEarth](#): > > aren’t onis like ogres also I think its too hard(skill issue) Kind of, oni are Japanese demons and Katandra is Japan themed. Also you have a skill issue, the difficulty is perfectly fine. Some might even say it’s perfect heheh- > [@AgentBoom](#): > > has perfect difficulty Anyways… Would you guys be interested in me adding one of your weapon ideas? It doesn’t take long to add weapons so I’ll release a small update with a new weapon and timer. ---

> [@engineer703](#): > > Drift Dagger is the best weapon by far. The Drift Dagger is really good but it’s not the most powerful weapon. The most powerful weapon is… Is… Well there is no most powerful weapon, all the weapons have different uses. - The Spirit Katana is for standard melee damage. - The Spirit Shuriken is for ranged single target damage. - The Phantom Claymore is for melee multi target control. - The Spectral Kunai is for ranged multi target damage. - The Drift Dagger is for melee single target damage. - The Soul Smokebomb is for swarm control. _Is there another weapon that I didn’t include in the demo?_ The Strike Spear is for distance control. ---

I don’t know exactly what katandra means, but here’s this: **Sword of Katandra** This weapon is a large blade similar to a katana, that deals lots of damage and is really fast. The damage starts off low, but with each hit it increases and eventually does one final swing that sends a large shockwave in all directions to deal MASSIVE damage to enemies. But after that happens, you have a three second cooldown until you can attack again. [Next page](https://forum.makecode.com/t/katandra/46575.md?page=2)
