Irinth The Dragon (Mini-Boss)

As part of my final group project at university in 2022, we had one academic year to create a video game from the ground upwards. Our group chose to create a Fantasy-themed Twin-Stick Shoot ‘em up in the artist style of the Paper Mario Franchise.

My job in the project was to create the characters, power-ups, coins, and all UI that featured within the game.

This is the 1st mini-boss in the game. The sprite size of Irinth The Dragon is very large. He has an average movement speed and 2,000HP.

Irinth The Dragon has the following attacks.
1) Breaths fire towards the player. This fire will only reach a set distance.
2) Shoots fireballs into the air and will land on the ground scorching it in the process. The ground will slightly glow red/orange to indicate where they will land so the player can avoid them.
