GD 2D Game Kit Level 1 – Allan Didier

Create a single level of the game using the 2D game kit. This project can be continued in the 2D Game Kit Part 2 project.

Project Goals

Watch the following Getting Started with 2D Game Kits tutorials
Create a level with doors, moving platforms, enemies, falling objects, and decorations following the final project details below.
