Description:

The final game is similar to what was suggested in the concept document.  Some changes were made. In the concept document I said the game would have traps like Unfair Mario. The final game does not have any outright traps as I decided the enemies were hard enough. In the concept document there is no mention of having to collect coins. I added in the coins feature to make the game harder. Also this means it is harder to just run to the exit which increases playabilty. The concept document also mentions score. I changed that to recording how many attempts were made as I thought this was better suited to the type of game I was making.

Feedback Summary:

I got some feedback on the difficultly level of my game. Most people said level 5 was too hard. I noticed during the testing session that lots of people had trouble with level 3 due to not understanding how the yellow enemy works . I decided to leave these levels alone as I wanted the game to be hard and seem unfair at times. These two levels both feel unfair at first but once they are mastered it becomes a lot easier to do them. I also noticed and recieved feeback that the text in the game was not always readable due to it disappearing off the screen. I adjusted the positioning of the text as a result.

User Guide:

The game is called Escape the Coloured Squares. The gameplay  has the player attempting to collect the coins and reach the exit while avoiding the enemies. The player does this using the W,A,S,D keys. W to move up, S to move down, A to move left and D to move right. The player must not hit any enemies or the level will restart. The player must also collect all the coins before touching the exit. Otherwise the exit is just a wall.
