Portfolio Piece

Same as my other game, Elemental Fusion, this game was developed with the intent to show off my skills. However unlike that game this one doesn't focus on my UI/UX specialism and more on the gameplay/systems. This project was made before the other one so there are some problems like no menu being implemented.

Dev Journey

For this project I was full focus on making an engaging platformer and I believe I achieved that in some aspects. There are 10 levels with multiple mechanics introduced and it gets progressively harder as time goes on. The level system I made is additive so I can add more simply in the future. 

Getting that system working in the first place was the difficult part especially the level transitions which caused problems as there were many of them. This made me learn to store important data in one general area like the level itself instead of the actual objects themselfs.

Conclusion

One thing I would change if I went back would definitely be how the game controls and implementing more UI/UX elements. For one the platforming has its upsides and downsides. One upside was that I was able to include coyote time which made it feel way better to jump however wall jumping still feels off and hard too time.

In terms of the UI, there isn't really much in it, except for the main menu which only has two working buttons. On the UX side there is a timer indicator for when the blocks change but the player is never taught how to wall jump which is needed to beat the game.
