I came up with the idea of making a platform jumping game as it seems to be simple to be played and young children should be able to play games like these. I then try to connect it to the aim of the game, which is to educate kindergarten children. Instead of using coins and uses them to unlock characters (like other platform jumping games) I decided to switch it to letters that will be merged into a word once all the letters are collected.

I started the game by making the first stage and the character movements along with its animation. Then I started making the menu and the level select part. Along the way, I tried making two characters so that players could choose which character they would like to use, but in the end after lots of scrambling around it seems like it causes error and makes the game broken. After trying and trying, I decided to remove the character selection part as I think that it has used a lot of my time that I could’ve used for something else. I then added music to the game and it’s finally done.

After the game was done, I thought that the game would run smoothly, but I was wrong. I continued to see bugs on the game and tried fixing it afterwards. It took me hours and hours trying to figure out how to fix this and how to fix that. As I work alone on this project, I usually ask help from my TA when I have problems that I couldn’t solve. I was pretty impressed with the final result, it was a very exhausting and interesting project after all
