Game Design
- Monica has five skills: Whirlwind, Fire, Black Hole, Ice Wall, and Rain. Each skill has levels from 1 to 10, and players can upgrade skills by defeating corresponding monsters. Players can view their skills through a card system, with the skills being activated using the u, i, b, n, and m keys. The j, k, and l keys correspond to three different types of jumps, while the w, a, s, d keys control movement (up, down, left, right);
- The map is divided into three main areas: Bootcamp, Snow Mountain, and Pumpkin Village. Different monsters are scattered across these areas, and Monica needs to explore all areas to acquire all skills;
- There is a small boss in Bootcamp and a large boss in Pumpkin Village. To complete the game, players must defeat the bosses;
- The game is divided into two difficulty levels: Easy and Hell.
Reflections
- The importance of building models (character, monster models, maps);
- The design of AI scripts, skill effects, and damage calculation;
- Learning how to use GUI components to create menus and display visual effects;
- The connection between scripts and components, using different frames for updating.
Shortcomings
- The turning is awkward, causing the camera to constantly change angles;
- The game difficulty is too high;
- The storyline is too sad;
- The terrain is too complex.
