Shooty Platformer

Controls:

• WASD/Arrow keys: move left/right and climb ladders
• Space: jump
• Left click: shoot

Mechanics:

• Special shooter enemy that shoots bullets left and right
• When score reaches 1500, a life is added and score is reset
• When an enemy dies, it gives you 200 points if it's a normal enemy and 300 if it is a shooter enemy

Challenges:

• At first, when adding the shooter enemy, I tried to direct the bullets to shoot at the player; however, this proved unrealistic and too time-costly. I compromised by making it shoot straight in the direction it faced, like the player does.
• Getting the balance right between number of points and ease of access to points was difficult. It may still need to be tweaked.
• Changing the number of points for different enemies was a bit of a challenge, but once I figured out I needed another tag for the shooter enemy, it resolved itself.
