Controls
Like all side-scrolling shooters, the player is automatically moving through the levels. The player can move around the screen with the mouse, but that’s as far as the movement goes.
The player shoots with the ‘d’ key and gets frequent power-ups through the levels.
The player can also jump with the ‘w’ to avoid certain enemies and obstacles.
The ‘a’ key is used to launch powerful special attacks which requires specific power-ups.
Win and Lose Conditions
You win if you complete all three levels and defeat the final boss.
You lose if you lose all your health. You start with ten health and you can replenish it either by finishing the level or collecting the health pick-ups. When the player dies, they have the option of quitting or simply starting the current level over again.
Level Design
There will be three levels, each getting progessively harder and longer.
The first level will last around 60 seconds, the second level 70 seconds and the third and final level 80 seconds.
There will be a significant increase in the number of enemies as the levels progress. The bosses will also be scaled up in terms of health, types of attack and damage inflicted.
The first boss will be a cat, the second a dog and the last boss will be snake.
To complete each level, the player must simply reach the end of the level and defeat the boss. Defeating the third and final boss will end the game.
The levels will be very similar in design to to each other. The only major difference will the graphics. The first level will take place on a grass field, the second level on a dirt road and the final level on a combination of both.
