Improvement:

With the feedback I was given from player tester they said feel the game doesn't have enough Challenge towards the player.  due to no longer having the master folder I am unable to make improve the project however if I still had the project this is how I would improve penguinvasion.

In Penguinvasion I was originally meant to have created 5 different levels but only three made it in, with the increase of waves that the penguins come each round to increase the challenges towards the player. The changes I would make towards penguinvasion would be the following;

  1. By changing the sizes of the penguin to make it bigger size and more hits required to kill it.

  2. To have two power-ups that can only be used when power gaged is fully changed, which is changing while the player is killing the penguin. The two power-ups are the ice breaker and frost.

  3. Ice breaker power-up works as the player aims where they would like to place it then press 1 to use the ice breaker, with the  Ice breaker it makes a big hole that the penguin falls into to kill them and least 30 seconds before it refreezes.   

  4. Frost's power-up is where the player is able to freeze the enemies for  30 seconds and if the player gets the right timing it can affect other enemies in a radius.

  5. There will be a bosses fight that is randomly between 5 to 7 waves with the boss health gain more each time they fight it, the boss fight is polar bears, and when the player reaches round 35-40 waves the some of the polar bears will appear as well penguins.

  6.   The enemy movement speed will increase in each wave.
