My level start with a flag telling the player to go right. The player will need to do a series of jumps while they increase in difficulty. The key reward, a spiked cube and slime are introduced on the jumps. The last platform is to far so the player land on a different platform with keys. Then more difficult platform with a lot of obstacles follow. At the end of the platforms there’s a lot of keys.

My First Level

For my first level, my character is on a grass platform in the sky. The character is met with a series of jumps and a few obstacles as their challenge. They also collect cupcakes along the way as their reward.

First Level Concept

The concept for my first level includes both a top and bottom path with the top path being easier and the bottom path being harder. At the top, you have to navigate your way through the water barriers to make it to the other side. Meanwhile, there are enemies and obstacles waiting for you at the bottom path. However, if you get through them, you’re rewarded with coins. Both paths rejoin into one by the end.

My First Level

My level starts by indicating that the character has to go to the right. The character is then challenged with a series of jumps. The last jump is too far, so the character will fall into a safe area. Then the cactus obstacles are introduced. After that the Bug obstacle appears. And the Apple rewards. Then the level branches and the player has to choose jumping over cactuses or bugs, and then the two branches come together and the players faces bugs and cactuses at the same time and then gets a lot of apples.
