Game Name

A unique name for each level (capitalized and spelled correctly)

Whether your level is going to be a platform or top-down game and why

What type of avatar/sprites you are going to use and how they work in the game (do they move quickly, do they shoot, do they disappear?)

Rules for your level (Complete sentences with appropriate capitalization, punctuation, and spelling)

What makes your level challenging (so many lives, time limit, lots of sprites to destroy…)

PowerPoint:

Create a PowerPoint about the design of your game. Make sure to include:

Title slide with your game name, program (Gamestar Mechanic), and your first and last name

At least 6 slides detailing the development of your game. Consider the following questions:

How did I make my game?

What did I use to make my game challenging?

What elements of the quest did I use when designing my game?

Why did I choose particular avatars when creating my levels?

What challenges did I have to overcome?

Did I put any twists in my game to trick a gamer?

One thing that I could do to improve the quality of my game (after reviewing other games)?

What did other people think about my game?

Each of your 6 slides should contain text, graphics and transitions throughout (PowerPoint tips can be found on the website under Additional Resources). Choose one slide to use audio (music or voice-over) to enhance your presentation.
