Game Challenges
  • Setting up the system whereby the game ends when the ball hits the bottom of the screen was especially challenging.
  • Additionally, resetting everything after the game had ended proved to be difficult.
Game Unfinished Component

I hoped to fix an issue where the ball gets hit by the side of the paddle and goes off in the wrong direction, but didn’t have time to.

Game Next Steps

I would add multiplayer so that another player can control a different paddle.

Game Challenges

The health bars took me the longest to make by far, it was difficult to make both of them functional and to make the values change was pretty hard to figure out.

Game Unfinished Component

A scoring system like a timer or something to track how well you’re doing.

Game Next Steps

I would add a scoring system and maybe add some different backgrounds. There was also some strangeness with the movement of the rocket which I would have liked to sort out.

Game Challenges
  • The biggest challenge was creating a radius of light around the fireballs, as well as the player. 
  • Another challenge was making the “You Win!” text.
Game Unfinished Component

I hoped to have torches around the map, as well as multiple stages/maps with different bosses, but due to time constraints, I was unable to do this.

Game Next Steps

I would add multiple maps and bosses. I would also add more diversity to the map, like torches. I would also add multiplayer, like battles between who can complete a level faster. I think bosses would be pretty easy, as well as multiple maps, but I ran out of time.

Getting the aliens to stay within the layout and going at a random angle.

Game Unfinished Component

I wanted to make a “you died” screen.

Game Next Steps

If I had more time, I would have increased the number of aliens that spawn after the user kills a certain number.

Game Description

I wanted to make a difficult platformer game that couldn't be beat on the first try.  The extra additions of the pathfinding ghost and the upside down parkour makes the game hard to beat.

Game Challenges

This game's biggest challenge is the flying ghost that kills the character whenever they come in contact.  This brings your character back to the start which can be frustrating.  The upside down world in this game is also challenging as people aren't used to playing games upside down.

Game Unfinished Component

I was super happy with how my game came out and had nothing important that I wanted to add that I didn't get too.  If I had to add something, I would switch to a 3rd gravity switch midway through so the game could be more complicated.

Game Next Steps

I just saw a platformer game that could run up the angled platform blocks.  I would have liked to do this because the character in my game gets stuck against the invisible part of the block.

Game Challenges
  • Making the ball move on contact with the feet.
  • Making the ball act as a circle
  • Make the feet act in the shape of the foot
  • Creating WASD control
Game Unfinished Component

I wanted the ball's motion to continue when the feet lost contact with the ball like would happen when a real soccer ball is kicked.

I would like the feet to be allowed slightly out of bounds but not too far.

 

Game Next Steps

I would make the ball's motion continue after contact with the feet is lost.

Decrease the border width at the edge that prevents the ball from going to the true edge.

Game Challenges

Making the enemies walk the correct direction toward the player and having them move better.

Game Unfinished Component

I got most of what I wanted as I thought it might be more complicated than reality. I kind of got burnt out near the end though and it was hard to think of and make new improvements to the game.

Game Next Steps

I might try to make the enemies more advanced with their movements and make them stop when they reach the player. Also improve the strength of the enemies as you make it farther through the game.

Create an extremely difficult maze to complete. The maze would have random places where you get teleported to other places on the map, as well as lots of dead ends that get the player stuck in random parts of the map. Ultimately however, it is possible to finish.

Adding the spotlight feature so that the user only sees a small radius around them, and not the entire map.

Game Unfinished Component
  • Adding a mini-map to the game. 
  • Possibly add a monster that chases the player around the map.
Game Next Steps

Add a mini map that shows the player the general area they are located in the large map, along with where the keys are in the map
