Finalising idea

After receiving approval from our client and feedback from both our peers and the client, we are now ready to finalize our idea.

Feature brainstorm

We began this by listing our current options as features:

• Defeat a monster
• Visual/sound effects per slot
• Kids can choose a monster to defeat
• We integrate the idea of visual and sound effect from 2D animation movie
• Button to start the game
• Buttons to choose enemy
• Explainer video

👉 We had several options to consider, including the button configurations, how the game will start, the scoring system, and the target areas for sliding the puck.

This led us to two key questions:

1. How will the game start?
2. Should we decide the target slot for the user to slide the puck into, or let the user choose their own target slot?

Question 1: How will the game start?

Option 1: One screen

The game sequence would look like this: it starts with an explainer video on the screen → the user presses the start button → the user then selects a monster to defeat → game starts.

For this setup, we have two button configuration options:

1. Three-Button Option: One start button, plus two additional buttons for selecting a monster.
2. Two-Button Option: Only two buttons, pressing either goes to monster selection screen. </aside>
