## What it is
A Godot Engine project template and addon library for building top-down shooter games, providing ready-made menu, pause, audio, input rebinding, scene loading, and enemy AI systems. It includes a general-purpose GDScript library (great_games_library) with reusable resources and nodes for common game development problems.

## Use cases
- start a top-down shooter game in Godot
- add a settings menu with audio sliders to a Godot game
- implement pause and frame-by-frame debugging in Godot
- rebind input controls in a Godot project
- set up enemy AI with A* pathfinding and wave spawning
- manage sound effects with an autoloaded sound manager
- learn recommended Godot project structure

## When to choose
- you are building a top-down shooter or similar action game in Godot
- you want proven solutions to common Godot problems like menus, pausing, and audio buses
- you are an intermediate Godot developer looking for a reference architecture

## When to avoid
- you are a complete beginner needing step-by-step guidance
- your game genre diverges heavily from top-down shooters
- you use an engine other than Godot
