 Game test response
Changed the collision mask on the
player sprite so the user can stop
getting stuck on walls.
Added a sound effect for the sword however I
couldn’t fix the issue where you can just hold the
button down and it would still defeat enemies.

Added more collectables, enemies

and spikes in level 1 I couldn’t make level 1 bigger as level 2 is already
Removed some of the empty a big level and I didn’t want to add random
images on the spikes sprite strip. enemy movement as I felt that would break level
1 too much but would have helped level 2

 Sway test response I didn’t cut the level 2 video because I
felt it was fine however I did agree.

In response to feedback I have changed the font of

the sway to fit more with the theme of the game.

I have fixed the spikes sprite strip because it was showing the full
sprite sheet rather than just showing the spikes so I went into
photoshop and removed the empty sections of the sprite strip.
And finally I added some text to the background
section explaining why I chose those assets and
where I used them.
 Game evaluation
My game is suitable for the intended audience because It doesn’t feature any blood and gore or swearing. My game is suitable
for the purpose of entertainment because it is challenging and user requirements because it is beatable and isn’t too hard.
I got feedback from others for my game a major complaint where that the player sometimes got stuck on the walls of the maze I
fixed this by shrinking the collision mask on the walls. another complaint I got were that the spike sometimes would get you
before appearing again I fixed this by removing some of the sprite sheet that didn’t have anything visible. A problem I couldn’t fix
was the issue with the sword where you can hold the F button and it would still defeat enemies. Another problem I couldn’t fix
was the hit box for the spikes but I did fix an issue where you could get you after retracting I also could fix the sound effect for the
spikes where they would play once and wouldn’t play again after opening.
I originally planned to use the gun however I chose the sword because I felt it was less complicated to implement, I planned for
enemies to have sounds however didn’t implement it because I forgot it was in my plans. I had Ideas for power ups however
didn’t use it because of time. I only used the statue sprite with the red eyes as it wasn’t really necessary to use the other sprites
as it didn’t have a sprite strip.
3 improvements for the game I would do is maybe adding enemies sounds to make the enemies more interesting, fix the spike
sound effect so it loops when, improve the retry buttons text to fit the game better.
 sway evaluation

The sway is fit for the intended audience as it doesn’t feature any blood/gore or swearwords. The sway is fit for the intended
purpose because it gives users information on the game and the graphics that were used and is fit for the user requirements as
all you really need is the link, speakers and headphones and phone/computer.
I got feedback from others for the sway one of the complaints I had was that the spikes in the sprite list looked off I fixed this by
removing the parts of the sprite sheet where the spikes are not visible. Another complaint I got was for the video on the second
level which may have been too long however I didn’t fix it as I thought it was okay as it was a longer level. Another complaint I
received was to add more information on why I chose each background asset which I added and the final complaint was to
change the font for the sway so it fit the theme of the game. when adding the music and sounds in. the file type for the music
wasn’t compatible I fixed this by adding a OneDrive link to the music.
I originally planned for the OneDrive link for the game to be at the bottom of the sway however to make it more accessible I put
the link at the top, I decided to use the pyramid background I used for the game rather than using a screen shot for the game.
3 things I would improve on the sway is changing the colour of the background to fit the game better, cut down the videos abit to
make them less of an hassle to watch the whole thing and explain why I chose each sprite so it makes them more interesting.
