Detailed list of differences from the concept:

• In the concept statement it mentions finding a new way out before the storm floods the entire cave system, the game only has one single way out in one location which becomes available once the three explorers are found.
• One single type of enemy, the original concept mentioned various enemies in the game.
• The game has a minimap which wasn't mentioned in the original concept, this gives some extra assistance to navigating around the level.
• The game doesn't have a dash sprinting option to evade enemies, instead it has 'hold left shift' option to run slightly faster than normal speed. I felt that the dash option would allow the player to avoid enemies too easily, instead the player now has to run backward or other directions and or use left shift to avoid, while shooting the enemies.
• The cave level itself isn't exactly maze like as stated that it would in the concept document, but it isn't easy to find your way around until you learn the map I have found.
• Area effectors were not applied to lava. The water which rises in the game does have a buoyancy effector with a slight downwards or southward flow so to speak.
• The countdown timer mentioned in the concept, is no longer a countdown timer, it is now a timer which starts when you start the level and ends when you escape the cave, it is used on the high score scoreboard, where the fastest player can record their initials, and it will tell the player what their time is for the level. However currently there is a bug with the script that I am continuing to work on.
• The look of the level compared to the concept art I created is reasonable, however there are no rivers or lava ponds, just a giant flood of water that rises, and the lava are mostly placed around the edges of the caves rather than lakes in the middle of the level areas. The look compared to the concept art I would say it matches but some of the highly detailed photo-like images don't represent the 2D player in the game. However, colours and ideas, enemy concept is reasonably represented in the game compared to the concept art.
• I also included first aid kits in the game, which wasn't mentioned in the game concept, these are used to restore player health.
• In the game I also replaced the mouse cursor with a sprite to represent the aim of the player, this wasn't mentioned in concept but was a result of feedback received.
• I also included a spotlight on the player to function as a kind of torchlight in the cave, and also another smaller light on the player itself to make sure the full body of the player was lit enough to see. Lighting was mentioned but not the beam of light that is used, and I find it also helps with aiming as you know where you are pointing your mouse at all times with the directional spotlight facing where the mouse is facing at all times.

Summary of Tester Feedback:

• Received positive feedback regarding the player character sprite. Feedback regarding the animation was received, and I adjusted the settings in the animator to make a smoother and faster animation.
• Player getting caught on objects early in the game development, I adjusted collider to make it perform better.
• The playability and look of the game level was positive. Some parts of the cave were too small for the player to move through initially, so I adjusted the cave spacing in those areas, and considered that the enemy would need to move through those areas also.
• Enemy attack feedback was that it was ok, but the tester found it hard to shoot straight, and that enemies didn't seem slow. I implemented a crosshair type of display to indicate shooting direction. Later on, in the game development stages I added lighting to indicate the mouse direction also.
• The music feedback was that it was too loud. I adjusted the volume in unity to lower the volume.
• UI details not scaling for itch.io. I corrected this and believe that everything is scaling correctly now by adjusting the canvas scaler and setting it to scale with screen size., as well as using the anchors in the rect transform section in the inspector.
• A hold to shoot functionality would be nice for the game, however it was still satisfying to eliminate the enemies. I implemented the hold to shoot functionality into the game, and also through my testing I decided to use a faster bullet speed and fire rate.
• Feedback regarding the design of the explorers was positive.
• A tester commented they had felt lost in the level but assumed that was the point of it. They also commented that some sprites/tiles were bleeding and that I could fix it by adding padding to the tiles. During that session a minimap was setup with instructions from tutor, which adds a bit of awareness of the cave surrounds.

Feedback from week 12 feedback session:

The testing session provided feedback in the form of a customer feedback form. Feedback received was that the level design was appealing to very appealing, the stability of the game was very stable to stable. The enemies were difficult to very difficult. Player movement and enemy movement were rated on a scale of 1 to 10 and received an 8/10 and 10/10. The animations of the Player and Enemies were rated 8/10 and 10/10. The sound and music of the game rated 8/10 and 10/10.

Bugs reported were that the End Screen didn't load. Could sometimes shoot through walls. Suggestions were to reduce the health of the enemies and lower the volume of the music. Also, another comment was generally that the Enemy health seemed high, and it might be better to have enemies that progressively got stronger on later levels if that became a feature of the game.

Things I did to address this particular feedback: I adjusted the bullet speed and fire rate, increased the size of the bullet projectile, adjusted the rigidbody to be continuous. I believe it has mostly reduced the chance of any bullets going through walls. With the end screen not loading, that is referring to the escape cave not appearing on subsequent runs when you rescue the three explorers, currently I have fixed the bug, and the escape cave now appears on subsequent runs. Although through a lot of testing and adjusting numerous scripts, sometimes slight changes whilst developing the game did effect consistency of the escape cave working properly, as well as a currently there is an ongoing issue with displaying the correct time score on subsequent runs after the first run of the level. That particular matter is a work in progress to fix. The Enemies' health level has been reduced, as well as the Enemies will occasionally by a set percentage drop a first aid kit when they are eliminated, which the Player can use to restore health if needed.

My observations during various testing sessions:

From my observations of a few players playing, are that generally they were initially surprised at the Enemy speed and how quick they approach the Player, and the need to move the Player quickly to avoid. Over the development of the game the enemy behavior script has been adjusted and tested numerous times, I currently have it set so that the attack swipe from the Enemy doesn't usually occur as it was too inconsistent and didn't quite look correct or smooth enough for my liking when combined with the speed and behavior I had set up in the scripting. I am satisfied with how the Enemy behavior is set up at this time in the game.

Screenshot of Minimap on the bottom left of the screenshot

Use this minimap when needed to assist with navigating around the cave.

Screenshot of rising flood water

The rising flood water will slowly rise and eventually fill the entire cave system. It is hazardous to your health, but you may be required to pass through it at times.

One of the three explorers in the cave, rescue all three and then escape the cave.

Screenshot of Score, Explorers Found, and Escape the Cave! message

The score count is Enemies defeated. Explorers found is how many explorers you have found in the cave.

Once you have rescued all three explorers as indicated in the explorers found count, the Escape the Cave! message will appear in green.

Then you need to exit the cave via the Escape Cave.
