# Lunar Anomaly

A minimalist 2D survival platformer built with Python and the Arcade library. Traverse the mysterious dark terrain, maintain your bioluminescent energy, and outrun the lethal, encroaching "Maw."

## Installation

Ensure you have Python 3.10 or higher installed, then install the required dependencies:

```bash
pip install arcade
```

## Usage

To start the game, simply run the main script from your terminal:

```bash
python run_game.py
```

## How to Play

- **Movement:** Use `A` and `D` (or Left/Right Arrows) to move.
- **Jump:** Press `W`, `UP Arrow`, or `SPACE`.
- **Objective:** You must escape the approaching darkness (The Maw) coming from the left while traversing floating chunks and platforming hazards.
- **Night Resistance:** Your light energy is constantly decaying. If you run out of energy, you turn to stone and die. Collect the glowing **bioluminescent flora** (plants) scattered across the terrain to replenish your light.
- **Enemies:** Watch out for the purple Slimes. Jumping or walking into them will trigger an explosive knockback, throwing you off your path and into danger.

## Built With

- **Python 3**
- [**Arcade Library**](https://api.arcade.academy/) (2D Game Engine Framework)
- Standard Libraries: `os`, `random`, `math`
