Intern's Folly

THEME: Simple to play. Hard to stop.

You are not the Dark Lord. You are his unpaid Intern. The Dark Lord is in a Zoom meeting, and the Shiny Hero is approaching! Your job is simple: place traps to stop him. The problem? Your budget is tiny ($100), and if the Hero reaches the bottom, you're fired.

Intern's Folly is a strategic puzzle game where every dollar counts. One misplaced banana peel can be the difference between a promotion and doom.

✨ KEY FEATURES:

• Strategic Budgeting: Manage your limited funds. Refund traps to reposition them as the Hero moves.
• Combo System: Make the Hero slip on a Banana Peel right onto Spike Traps for massive damage!
• Panic Button: Saved up enough budget? Summon the cardboard Dragon to roast intruders!
• Escalating Difficulty: Face off against the arrogant Shiny Hero, his twin, and the Ultimate Champion.
• Juicy Visuals: High-end 2D aesthetic with vibrant effects and screen shake.
• Funny Narrative: Original witty dialogue between the nervous Intern and the over-confident Heroes.

🎮 HOW TO PLAY:

• Tap/Click a tile to place a trap.
• Tap again to remove it and get a refund.
• Stop the Hero before he reaches the bottom row!
