What went well:

As the team's Designer, I handled the player movement and level design. These systems worked effectively to ensure a complete gameplay in a short timespan.

The level itself makes use of several obstacles to offer a challenge to the player.  

Challenges:

One early issue was designing the mechanics between level transfers. 

This was solved by introducing a focus for different segments. I built around fall damage, enemies and levers.

This helped to make each area feel more unique as the players descended below. 

Lessons:

Scope is an important factor for making a game in a shorter timeframe. Another important lesson is being able to defend and explain design decisions or implementations to other members as when issues occur, helping others to understand how a mechanic works can help better with debugging.
