Pharloom Arena

Play as Hornet in a 2D side-scrolling arena built inside Garry's Mod. Fight your way through five waves of Hollow Knight: Silksong enemies, ending with a duel against Lace.

Everything Silksong in the arena comes from your own copy of Silksong. The first time you press Play, Melty runs a setup step. It cuts the real animation frames out of Silksong's sprite atlases and rebuilds its music and sound effects for Garry's Mod. Nothing from Silksong ships with the mod.

What's in it

• A side view like Silksong. The camera follows you along one long arena with floating platforms, and everyone fights on the same line.
• Hornet, with her own in-game animations: run, jump, forward, up and down needle slashes (pogo off enemies), Thread Storm, Bind and dash.
• 5 waves on gm_flatgrass, in a dark Pharloom-teal sky
  1. Moss Grotto: Mossgrubs and Mossbone Flies
  2. The Marrow: Bone Goombas join in
  3. Moss Mother and her flies
  4. Skull Tyrant, who charges and leaps, with Bone Flyers and Bone Goombas
  5. Lace, who has combos, charges, rising slashes, evades and a teleport slash in her second phase
• Silksong's own soundtrack and sounds: the Choir battle track during waves, Lace Battle for the boss, wave stings, needle hits and Lace's voice.
• Masks and silk like Silksong. Needle hits build silk. Spend 3 on Thread Storm or 9 on Bind to heal 3 masks.

Controls: A/D move, Space jumps (hold it for a higher jump), Mouse 1 is the needle (hold W to slash up, or S in the air to slash down), Mouse 2 Thread Storm, R Bind, Shift dash.

Co-op for up to 4. Press Play to host, and friends join from the mashup page. Enemy counts and boss health scale with the number of players.

In the future, if wanted/needed can expand into more waves and enemies etc. Just a proof of concept for now

You need Garry's Mod and Hollow Knight: Silksong installed.
