BMCC Spring 2024
Added New Icons and Voiceovers for when new abilities are unlocked
Added Voiceover for when player reaches final platform
Balance changes:
Turned off first two moving platforms to make first level easier
Changed enemy mechanic to only slightly but continuously push the player when in contact.
Allow for pickable objects to destroy enemy
With some user feedback this week, I modified my project to include moving and rotating platforms.
Here is a screenshot of the additions to the project
Two moving platforms, a rotating platform, a slide, and, for the future, platforms that launch the player high into the sky once I troubleshoot the issues keeping it from working.

Based on the user feedback controls are easy to use and the average of game time was between 1-5 minutes.
The level of difficulty is evenly spread across 2 and 4, which seems like a good level.

After making the game available in itch.io: https://danielojeda001.itch.io/office-conundrum
and running the feedback questionnaire the results are:
Most people didn’t understand what the purpose of the video game was so it will be necessary to include a prompt or onboarding process.
As the objective is not clear and many collision boxes are missing the playtime was really short.
Here is a link to the build for my first level: https://eddietestio.itch.io/eddiegodotstage1
Based on user feedback, the difficulty of the level seems to lean on the easier side which is intended since this is an introductory level.
Responses indicate that the objective of the game appears to be fairly straightforward and clear.
