Game vs Original Concept

The game's concept was quite different from the final version of the project, however it shares many of the same fundamentals. I ended up switching the perspective from a top-down style game to a side-scrolling game. The main reason for this is due to the assets I used being much easier to implement in a side-scrolling game, and I felt that the change wasn't something that I was against. 

The game was originally meant to feature a boss every so often (for example, when 20 enemies are defeated). However, I never implemented the boss due to how difficult it was to implement AI for even the basic enemy type.
