My game is called "Off We Go!" where you are playing as a Panda called "Chin Chin" that uses a bamboo stick as a melee weapon. The purpose of the game is to save your sister from an evil villain. The level is based near the end of the game and the main focus of the level is to make it to the portal alive! In the YouTube link below, I talk about the level overview in-detail and go through the key beats of the game. The player has three hearts as a health system and there are one shot mechanics in the game (such as falling to their death, falling in lava, falling off the map & boss mechanics).

However, when he gets there, he finds out that the military base has been abandoned... As he is in so much pain, he takes actions into his own hands and breaks in... My main mechanic in my game was giving the player the ability to use night vision, by equipping the player with night vision goggles. The night vision mode lasts fifteen seconds and the player can pick up batteries for his goggles that are scattered round the map. The player soon finds out that all the troops have been kille...
