Particles

This time, I implemented the enemy death particle effect, which generates falling particles when the enemy is defeated. I modified the shape (square spread), lifespan (0.5 seconds), and particle color.

Polish Description

• The main improvements to the prototype include:Optimized the force pulse mechanism and changed the force and color of pushing enemy objects due to the feedback.
  Separated the UI system and separated the button logic into independent components to improve the modularity of the code.
  Added the BGMManager singleton to achieve seamless cross-scene background music and increase the game feel.
  Added the SFX to enemy when destroy to make prototype more interactive.
  Redesign the Level 2 & 3 to control the game pace.

Balance

• Limits the number of balls fired (maxBalls) and the cooldown (cooldown) to prevent players from firing without limit.
• Force Pulse have a long cooldown to provide a powerful effect while ensuring that players cannot abuse them.
• Enemy movement speed increases with each level, providing a gradual difficulty curve.
• The first level serves as a tutorial to familiarize players with the basic operations, and the subsequent levels are restructured to gradually increase the challenge.

Communication

I added visual and sound feedback to the game:

• Changed the Force Pulse color to make it more obvious.
• There are obvious particle effects and sound feedback when the enemy is damaged.
• Changed the material of the enemy object to make it more resilient and hit.
