🎃 RPGjs 🎃

A Pokémon-inspired RPG game project built entirely with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript!
Dive into a nostalgic 2D adventure made with pure web technologies, no external game engines required!

RPGjs is a retro-style top-down RPG game where the player can explore tile-based maps, interact with the environment, and engage in classic turn-based battles!
This project demonstrates how powerful vanilla web development can be when combined with creativity and a passion for games!
It was designed both as a learning experience and a showcase of what's possible using just the web stack.
