My Contribution

Our game was relatively simple, but scalable idea. I chose to focus on the enemy AI/behavior. We worked together on ironing out the design of the game.

Reflection

The theme this time around was relatively simple but challenging, which such a straight forward theme, it was pretty challenging to come up with an idea that is stands out. We thought of a few buzzwords to take advantage of the theme such as social bubble, economic bubble, bubble (boiling), bubble (float), bubble (pop). We decided to play it safe and went ahead with a bullet-hell style game. Usually I personally would try to be cheeky and come up with something smart, but it was a little too restricting. A safe idea is still a solid idea.

We definitely had a solid base since it was relatively simple to expand the game, adding abilities/behaviors do not take a lot (other than the implementation of it). Abilities were modular so it was very customizable during our discussions

Features that were implemented
