INSTRUCTIONS
Week 1
Mr. Razif asked us to do a game review on the unity games created by our seniors.
I then explored the games on this website. One of my favourite games from the website is Save pon by Ash. I like the cute characters' design, but the visual part of it (environment) could be improved. Next, I enjoyed the try and error process, which allowed me to figure out all the levels. This game also has simple and smooth control. However, there are no instructions or hints provided for this game. There are also some bugs, such as infinity fall at the boss level. Lastly, I still cannot figure out the boss level of this game.

Week 2
This week, Mr. Razif asked us to create our own game using the methods taught in the lecture. We formed the group following our sitting table, and I was grouped with Jia Sheng, Ellis, Alvin, and Imran.
Our group members all agree on the concept of subway surfer, and we get to work.

After all the presentation, Mr. Razif reminded us to start working on our game idea. It will be a 2D platform game and try not to make it complex.
