Game Development Notes:

Main Idea:

• Wizzie vs ghostie fight: Pew pew u go bye bye
• Shooting game:
  • Bullets will shoot according to player direction (rotation etc, joystick buttons)
  • Auto shoot
• Infinite game loop, collect items,  level up and keep going. Enemies become stronger and appear more frequently as time goes on
• Enemy types: 
  • Normal: close range, approaches the player with moderate speed
  • Fast: close range,  approaches the player with a fast speed
  • Long range: moves slowly, comes out of the ground, shoots at the player
  • Helmeted, more health - implement if there is time
• level up (bought in the store):
  • faster bullet
  • more bullet dmg
  • more bullets per unit time
  • Player speed increase
  • Increased health (increases total health as well as some healing)

• Collectables (on the floor):
  • Health: heals player
  • Bomb: Clears the screen, causing all current enemies to die

Play Testing Feedback:

• Movement scaling: currently, the player speed is constant regardless of how far you move the joystick, should make it varied for better game feel.
• Economy improvements: for testing purposes, the player starts with 1000 souls, change that to 0 so that the initial upgrades is not easy to get and the player doesn't get extremely strong.
• Add more enemies types: there is only 2 enemy types that doesn't vary a lot, add additional types to make the game more fun.
• More effects: add more particle effects to make the game more flashy.
• Include collectables: currently there's no collectables, adding them might make the game more fun and encourage exploration more.
• Add timer: track how long the player is alive for so they have a sense of achievement when the game ends.
• Enemy spawn rate adjustments: changes how the enemies spawn since now it escalates too quickly.
• Floor tile changes: maybe add more variation or trigger changes with events.
• Shop variation: there's only 2 things to buy in the shop, maybe add more options.
