Star Defender

This is my completed 2D Shooter Project that I have called Star Defender.

My modifications are:

1) Creating a unique background for the main menu sized 1080 x 1920 pixels, randomly placed stars and two different layers of muted color gradations  so the background isn't too distracting.

2) Creating a unique background for levels 1-4 which I can't display below because the file size is too large. Level 1's background is 1080 x 1920 while levels 3-4 were 8640 x 6480 pixels. Different randomly placed patterns of stars on each level and different color gradations and pattern. I used the app Medibang on my iPad with an apple pencil 2 to create these background PNGs, watched several tutorials, and looked at different images of space to decide how to create these backgrounds. Adding a new brush to my Medibang toolkit: Thick Brush (Sumi Ink), I learned how to use this specific patterned brush but created backgrounds that were too colorful and distracting so I scrapped them. 

3) I also created 2 additional levels. I changed the positions and added several more enemies into each level going up by 2's starting with level 1 with 4 enemies and ending at level 4 with 10 enemies to defeat to win.

4) I added an overall how to play section including controls to the user interface under instructions and changed the pause and centering of buttons to my liking. 

5) I made an icon for my game using Medibang.
