Enemies (Turnament series)

The enemies in the game Turnament are all destructible and can harm the player on contact. They chase the Red knight and move only each one of two times the knight moves. If the knight stops, they will do it too, like the hazards of this game.

Slimes
Slimes are the first enemies encountered in Turnament, and are also considered the easiest enemies to defeat.

Appearance
Slimes appears as a green slime with two small eyes. When it's going to attack the next turn, it starts to jump on it's place.

Game information
Slimes generally move towards the player or chase them, making a move every two times the player turns. They follow a pattern of readying their attack one turn, then attacking. When readying an attack, the slimes move up and down, as if preparing to pounce.

Then, when the player moves a second time, the slime moves. If only a regular space is separating the player from the slime, if they moves into that space, they will be killed. However, the player will die only if the player moves in such a way that the attacking slime and the player move into the same space.

Alternatively, if a slime is ready to attack and the slime and the player are right next to each other (no space separating the two), the attacking slime will kill the player on the next turn if the player is still in front of the attacking slime. Moving in any direction will guarantee the player will not be killed by that slime.

When they are not bobbing up and down, they are unable to attack the player and completely defenseless. It is when in this stage that they are able to be easily killed. To kill a slime, the player has to in front of a slime so that there is no space separating them from the slime. If they are in this situation, moving into the spot the slime currently is will kill the slime on the next turn.

Skulls
Skulls are enemies that are much like slimes, as they follow the player closely. However, skulls will move every time the player moves.If the player is in the path of the skull when the skull moves, the player will die.
