Reflection - 

The final game contains all the mini games I intended to create. However I had planned on implementing different difficulties/modes, but I ran out of time because I was focusing on finalizing/getting my main mini games to work. The additional difficulties/modes I intended on adding along with the normal mode were, hard mode and timed mode. I had also intended on creating all of my sprites, UIs and Tile maps, but once again I ran out of time, however I was able to design/create the sprites/assets within the actual gameplay (player, enemies, objects...) which I found to be most important.

Summary of feedback - 

• In the coin drop, player is a bit too slow or the play area is too large - My thought to fix this was to take the suggestion of reducing the play area.
• Gameplay in mini games could be longer - I thought that I could extend the gameplay by increasing scores needed to complete the games and I also made more enemies spawn.
• Shooting game could make the bullet shoot faster - Easily increased the bullet speed.
• Slow the movement in the shoot game to encourage the use of the dash function - Reduced player speed.
• Bug spotted where the spawners in the shoot game can be shot and destroyed - I Turned of the box collider on the actual object, not sure why I added it to the spawner in the first place.
• Adding boundaries would be helpful to stop the player from leaving the screen - I brought the boundaries in towards the middle, which also reduced the play area.

User Guide - 

Title: Hero Gooby

Controls: WASD for moving, in the shooting mini game you have additional controls which are, mouse clicking for shooting and space bar for a dash function.

Gameplay: The player has to go through three different types of mini games to complete the whole game. You start in a maze where you find a lost NPC, you then proceed to a coin dropper game where you catch the falling coins, and finally you end the game shooting monster slugs spawning from a trash can.
