Original Idea vs Reality

Overall I am happy with my implementation of the game I originally laid out. I was able to achieve most of the goals I set out. However, there were a couple of areas I feel could have been implemented better. One, I did not implement enough scenes or items to help indicate to the user they were playing in a futuristic game show where people risk their lives for prizes. Secondly, I did not add more weapons or powerups for the player to use.

Likes:

• I love Enter The Gungeon and this game heavily reminds me of just that!.
• The fast-paced nature of the spawns early on.
• The movement, the shooting, the art style, and the level design.
• The core gameplay is pretty good.
• I like the spike animation even though it can't kill you yet and the sprite for the enemies is cool.
• I actually like the level design and the enemy.

Dislikes:

• Maybe the speed is a bit too fast. - Slowed Player Movement.
• I'd prefer to not be clicking to shoot (so I hope you have more guns). - Added Auto Fire
• The gun shooting mechanism, weird velocity outputs if aimed close to the player. - Fixed so Bullets have constant speed
• The lack of sound. - Added music and bullet sounds
• I can't open the treasure chest and kill the boss.
• I could glitch outside the walls. - Fixed
• No sense of danger, as you don't die. - Added Death
• Find a non-JPG version of the crowd. Currently definitely has too much JPG! - Found a better crowd image

• Needs Blood. - Added blood
• Enemy animations. - Enemies Animated
• Make Spikes hurt. - Spikes Hurt
