ES had a thoughtful and inquisitive session today as he continued developing his Arcade MakeCode game. His focus on refining gameplay mechanics and improving the player experience shows how his project is maturing.

Improving Gameplay Mechanics

During the session, ES refined the gravity controls, improving how the character moves and responds on screen. This adjustment made the gameplay feel smoother and more intuitive. He also introduced a “kill” mechanic and an endgame sequence, adding structure, challenge, and a clear sense of progression to the game.

Curiosity and Problem-Solving

ES approached each new idea with curiosity, asking thoughtful questions and testing his changes carefully. This problem-solving mindset allowed him to tweak and improve the game in a considered way, rather than rushing ahead — an important skill in game development.

Reflection on Progress

This was a really solid session for ES. His game is becoming more complete and polished, and his willingness to experiment, refine, and improve is driving meaningful progress. With each session, ES continues to grow as a confident and thoughtful game designer.
