The main goal for Syoban Action is to make it to the other side of the map without dying. The obstacles are the enemies and the map itself. The main reward is successfully making it across the map. This game plays with the expectations of platformers by flipping every logical thought that most players have with a baited trick that could lead the player to their doom. This game is still a platformer though. I think it’s making a comment on just how much less difficult video games have become. It was a bit refreshing to see how difficult this game was. It wasn’t as annoying as I thought it would be. It kept me alert.

I had a few ideas that I wanted for the scenery of my game. The clouds was used to make the player feel like they were high in the sky.
The floating platforms are a reminder to the player just how high they are.
The sun and moon are used to make the player feel that the environment they’re in is weird since they can see more than one sun and moon at the same time.
I had 3 different obstacles and 3 different rewards in mind for my game. I thought these different ideas would be very interesting to see in my game.
This broccoli was a reward for players who managed to get one.This tomato was an obstacle for any players who got near it.This carrot was going to be an obstacle as a spike of some sort.This crown was going to be a reward for players if they managed to attain it at the end of the level.I wanted to trick and bait players who weren’t very cautious by using the environment as an obstacle. Some things in the map may or may not be dangerous to step in.
My game is called “Fidel’s Game” and its about an odd guy on an odd adventure to find as many broccoli as possible while making it past the rotten tomatoes. Be careful not to fall to your doom.
The game I chose is called Gears 5. It’s the 6th game in the Gears of War series and was developed by The Coalition and was released September 19th, 2019. Gears 5 is a third-person shooter Action game made for Xbox and PC.

Puzzles: There are enemies and bosses with special move sets and weak points to attack in order to defeat it. Also the player should be cautious of random enemies that may pop up while also be cautious of their ammo waste since it’s somewhat limited depending on the weapon used. They should try to be as efficient as possible. There are also cover spots that you and the enemy can use to protect themselves.

These are the 3 different designs of the same character that I came up with.
This is the first design I made. It wasn’t too complex or too simple.This second one I made I tried to make it as simple as possible.This third one I tried to make it as detailed and realistic as possible with different levels of shading.This is my idle animation where the character is waving at the player. I used the more realistic design for the animations.This is my walking animationThis is my Jumping animation
