Open Questions

• Do some spaceships move faster than others?
  • Maybe it depends on the color of fighter (green 💚 slow, blue 💙 medium, red ❤ faster)
• Do the spaceships fire lasers back at the shark?
  • Yes, the shark has health (three lives ❤❤❤)

from shark-wars.

Power-ups

Currently, none.

Suggestions

1. Speed-up the shark's vertical movement (jetpack?)
2. Increase the shark's size (fish?)
   • Chomping an enemy gives 10x points
3. Slow down enemies (clock?)

Power-ups last 10-20 seconds, to be determined.

Health counting

Currently, game starts with three hearts (❤️❤️❤️) and decreases when an enemy goes past the shark.

Action Items

Game starts with three "planets" (🌎🌍🌏) and decreases similarly, as if the enemies are destroying the planets, or something. Each "planet" could have segments, between 2-4 perhaps.

Shark has three lives (🦈🦈🦈) and decreases if a UFO hits the shark. The third hit causes game over.

Difficulty increase

Factors

• shark gun charge speed (1% / tick but slows to 0.5% / tick during 1 min) (see point 1 below)
• enemy spawn interval (every 4 sec but increases to ever 1 sec over 3 mins)
• shark movement speed (currently fixed)
• enemy movement speed (currently fixed)

Action Items

1. ✅ Remove gun charge (needlessly complicated)
2. Difficulty should increase as you keep playing
