Just be sure that your GDD aligns with the physical game. The GDD informs design & development and MUST be accurate e.g. from the 'Mechanics & Dynamics' section, "The player’s primary means of interacting with the game are the keys on the keyboard, specifically the ASWD keys for moving left and right and jumping. The player can also attack enemies by pressing the spacebar and interact with NPCs with the P key."
Whereas in your prototype: the S key is not used for movement, the Attack is P (not Spacebar), and there is no mention of an E and O key?

The only thing I'd consider at this stage Josh would be perhaps a dialogue / on-screen text to get the player started with the controls or set the scene with respect to the narrative. This could be done in the first part of the level, or potentially be done as part of a splash/menu screen. I've also sent you a DM on Discord regarding the arm retraction as there is awee glitch whereby if you jump an obstacle with the arm extended it can become difficult to draw it back in or control the robot as the blow/suck end can't be seen. Also, a sound effect or two would work wonders and enhance the aesthetic (and therefore the player experience) further- but only if you have time. Cheers, Jim
Also, on a second attempt at level two, after again trying to activate the grey memory trigger without the shoes (and two health points) I found myself getting stuck in an area to the right of the grey memory trigger. It was like invisible colliders had popped up, and I couldn't move out of the are bounded by the grey vertical lines. Weird. Also, are there any plans to animate the yellow dog? I mentioned this waaaay back at the start of term, so just checking.

NOTE: Use the Arrow controls (up / down) to select either the 'Start' or 'Controls' button on the main screen, then hit the SPACEBAR to activate the button.
The basic in-game controls are pretty simple: SPACEBAR to fly; Arrows to move; Left mouse to shoot, and mouse scroll (or number keypad) to cycle weapons. Enjoy!
