Description

The game needs more enemy variety to increase strategic depth.

This task involves:

  • Designing 2-3 new enemy types.
  • Implementing their behaviors (movement, health, damage modifiers).
  • Integrating them into the Wave class for dynamic spawning.

Priority: High

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the existing enemy classes and the Wave class in the codebase. Understand the enemy movement and health system, then design new enemy types with unique behaviors. Follow the pattern of existing enemies to integrate them into the Wave spawning logic.
