Level Design Phase

Today, I dedicated my efforts to polishing the gameplay experience and enhancing the visual aspects of the "Catland Spring" game.

On the gameplay front, I fine-tuned the difficulty curve, adjusting enemy patterns, bullet speeds, and player health values. My goal was to create a challenging but fair experience that rewards skillful maneuvering and strategic shooting. (2x speed for the player helped a lot, thanks bro)

For the visuals, I focused on capturing the spirit of the provided poster image. I generated the cat protagonist to match the stylized, embattled appearance seen in the artwork. Additionally, I created new enemy sprites and background elements to reinforce the coup d'etat setting.

With the core gameplay and visuals taking shape, I plan to spend the next day implementing the leaderboard system and fine-tuning the overall balance and pacing of the game.

• Adjust the level design for a more fun and balanced experience. (P1) -> 100% done
  
• Display the health/recovery system values in green for better visibility. (P1) -> 0% done
• Implement a leaderboard system to allow players to compete and track high scores. (P3) -> 0% done
• Enhance the game's visuals, aiming for a style similar to the cat character shown in the provided poster image. (P1) -> 50% done
• Diversify the level design by introducing obstacles such as trees or other environmental elements. I may be able to repurpose the code used for treasure chests to streamline this process. (P2) -> 0% done
