  The game has really taken shape this week. I have added a Start Menu and a Game Over Screen. I have also included a background for the main game, I designed all of these assets myself in Adobe Illustrator. I also imported the public domain songs from the band King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard into the game to play at different points, my proudest implementation of this is the Game Over screen which has a much scarier heavy metal type sound to the Menu and Main Game.

  Not gonna lie I feel a bit like Dr. Frankenstein right now, the game actually works! It's Alive! It's Alive! I added in a the sprite I made in Adobe Illustrator so now the player is the Lizard Wizard and the obstacles are toxic waste barrels. The Score Board now works as well. The big task this week was making the game feel right, for instance, I had to adjust the box colliders on both sprites so that the player doesn't feel like they lost despite the fact they never actually touched the obstacle. For now the game just freezes when the player loses, next week I plan on adding a death screen.
