Each level must last at least 1 minute.
The levels should progress in difficulty:
1st level: easy

You will be required to demo the game to your lecturer.
The project and asset files, as well as the binary release, must be zipped and uploaded to Moodle (if less than 100 MB) or burned to a DVD. The lecturer will download the zip file or copy the DVD to his C drive and load it into Construct 2 to examine the project and play the game.
