Showcase

1. Game Flow and Mechanics

The game offers a structured sequence, guiding the player through different stages:

  • Splash screen → Main menu → Running level → Boss fight level → Game over or Victory screen.

In the running level, players navigate through obstacles and face various enemies. The boss fight level introduces a different challenge, requiring players to defeat a powerful boss with various attack patterns. If players face a “Game Over,” they have the option to revive using in-game coins:

  • Running level revive: 100 coins
  • Boss fight level revive: 300 coins

2. Architecture and Design

The game’s architecture follows a modular approach with multiple singletons and distinct level-based logic, ensuring a clean separation of responsibilities:

  • Singletons: Several core systems are implemented as global singletons, providing accessible services across different scenes and levels:
    • GameManager (./core/game_manager.gd): Manages global state, player data, and scene transitions.
    • CoinSpawner (./core/coin_spawner.gd): Handles spawning and tracking of collectible coins.
    • Utils (./core/utils.gd): A collection of helper functions and utilities.
    • SignalBus (./core/signal_bus.gd): Manages in-game events and signals, providing a centralized communication system between game objects.
  • Level-Specific Logic: Each level type has its own dedicated scripts, allowing for unique gameplay experiences and mechanics:
    • Running Level (./levels/runner):
      • level.gd: Controls overall level behavior and state management.
      • level_spawner.gd: Manages dynamic object generation and placement.
      • player_controller.gd: Handles player movement, jumping, and collision detection.
    • Boss Fight Level (./levels/boss_fights):
      • level.gd: Orchestrates boss behavior and fight sequences.
      • level_spawner.gd: Sets up enemy spawning and boss attacks.
      • player_controller.gd: Manages player actions and responses to the boss’s attacks.
  • Audio and Control Settings: The game features adjustable audio settings for different sound volumes, along with multiple joystick configuration options, enhancing the player’s control experience.
