 Alternative ideas
• You need to explain other possible ideas for the game and sway.
Different structure to sway I could change it by putting the link last and video page first for
sway.
I would not change the theme of the Game to space, I would not because I don't think
space is a good idea.
• It is important to explain the reason for choosing one idea over the other.
 I don’t think other 8-12 years would enjoy space theme audience You must say why you
rejected ideas.
I personally don’t like space themes games I don’t find them entertaining
• Alternative ideas could include, different players, different enemies, different music,
different backgrounds, more/less levels,  etc.
If we used the space theme, we would have to add lasers to fire , ghost change to aliens
and change the background colour black level 1 to red level 2
Music on lasers and level up music
 Justify your plans

• Justify the plans by discussing how will they be fit for purpose and audience
Yes suitable for all ages above 8
• Discuss the features that will be used to enhance user experience. E.g. levels get harder as game
progresses, shooting, scores, lives etc
Level 2 Skelton could get a bit quicker, each level gets so many lives example level 1 you get 1 life,
level 2 you get 2 lives. Endgame music can be longer. To enhance user experience I could add more
levels and I could add weapons.
