PostMortem

What work

• Erase mechanic as main feature
• Have a simple and casual game loop
• Ghost animations
• Animated game logo
  
• Finish the jam with a MVP (Minimum Viable Product)
• Different types of movement by each type of ghost
• Implement Art and Audio without problems
• Art direction and sound design matching the aesthetic of the game
• Finished product in time for the game jam deadline
• Difficulty progression
• The core mechanic of erasing the screen
  

What didn't work

• Make a dynamic gameplay tutorial
• The UX and UI is really simple
• Balancing the gameplay (really hard the firsts builds)
• Don't have pause Menu
• No Web Build at the end of the jam
• No endless Mode
• First background draft was scaled too big and therefore didn't match the time and effort available (720x550pixel -> 350x250 pixel)
  
• Programming the layered background to fit in the animated moon
• No reason to add the custom textbox
• No pause menu initially
  
• Strict indication for a ghost to be uncovered
• Difficulty Spike towards the end
• No indication of a timer

Improvements

• Make better transitions
• Make a simple section or easy and fun to understand the main mechanic
• Investigate how to do a web build or why we have problem with it
• Make an algorithm for the endless Mode
• Going smaller instead of bigger, if time is limited
• Difficulty playmodes
  
• Timer implemented with sound
• Web Mode
