Evaluate

Describe your game (including a title). You are an alien who accidentally landed on planet Earth. You have to find your spaceship and get back to Mars, collect all the crystals along the way and kill the enemies that are trying to capture and take you to Area 51.
The name of my game is Final Peril, in this game you have to get to the resignated area as fast as possible. Killing all the enemies and collecting is not neseccary,the main objective is to find the escape pod. In this game there is a bonus stage. To get to the bonus stage you must find the keys to the door that are hidden somewhere in the game; get the keys, unlock the doors which unlock the secret bonus stage. In my game there are stages with water, underground and air.

What is the objective of the game?
The objective of this game is to find the escape pod.

What difficulties did you encounter while creating your game?
The difficulties I encountered while making my game was trying to make it fun. The concept "fun" was harder to grasp than I thought it would be. Another difficulty I encountered was figuring out the distance I should place the tiles for the player to jump. Sometimes the tiles were too high and the player couldn't jump far enough. Also, the website was giving some troubles at points while creating the game.

What did you have to modify or change from the original design?
As I started creating my game I discovered the escape pod and thought it would be more interesting to end the game this way. I initially wanted to make the game puzzling but could not do so because some of my ideas were not possible to do at Sploder.com.

Discuss two strengths and one weakness of your game.

In my opinion,the stregth of my game is that my game uses a variety of blocks and tiles. Also, my game includes stages of land, water and underground. A weakness of my game is that my game isn't puzzling or that much challanging, it is pretty straight foward.

What improvements could be made?
My game could be a bit more challanging and more lenghty. If I got a chance to make it again, I would also, like to add more enemies.

Discuss the strengths and weaknesses of your performance during this assignment. What did you do well at? What could you have done better at?
I think one of my strength in this assignment was that I made goals and accomplished them. Another strength of mine in this assignment is that I explored Sploder.com and became quite fimiliar with the site, I figured out different short cuts in making the game. A weakness for me in this assignment is that my game is short.I did well at putting a lot of effort and time into this assignment. I would have liked to done better at making my game puzzling and complex.
