Anatomy Blaster – HTML5 Human Body Identification Shooting Game
Anatomy Blaster is a fast-paced human body identification shooting game built entirely with HTML5 Canvas, CSS3, and Vanilla JavaScript. Anatomy term icons fall from the top of the screen like enemies. The player types the correct anatomy term to identify it — the spaceship locks on and shoots it down. Miss one and it costs you health. When health reaches zero, the game is over.
It is designed for schools, medical students, or anyone looking for a fun and interactive way to learn the human body. No Node.js, no PHP, no database — just upload the folder to any web host and it works immediately.
Zero Setup Required: Double-click index.html to play locally, or upload to any hosting provider and it is live instantly. No installation, no build process, no dependencies.

- HTML5 Canvas API — Real-time rendering of the spaceship, enemies, bullets, particles, laser pointer, and all game animations.
- CSS3 — Medical dark theme, animations (loading, power-ups, transitions), responsive layout, and on-screen keyboard styling.
