Task 02 – Game Evaluation

To start with the genre of Mekka Hornet is a top down shooter game with added retro arcade gaming effects or art style. 

It starts with the name of the game with a gradient hornet behind it on a red gradient background and instructions on which key does what. When you go in the game you play as a hornet and you have to defeat other mechanized insects along the way, The first mechanic insect that you encounter is a fly and they only take a couple of hits to defeat however these units come in fast but slightly stop when your in their firing range and fire 2 bullets towards your location and then throw themselves into you and it only takes of them crash into you for your health to get to zero if you dodge them they'll just disappear from the page, note that you can also crash into them instead of them homing towards you. 



The second enemy unit you will encounter are tower based meaning that while they stay in one place they will launch homing attacks at you, although they do small damage individually if about ten of them hits these units will slowly eat at your HP. Because the theme of the game is based on insects the homing attacks are either maggots or leeches and the tower based units that launch the attacks seem to be a hive. The homing maggots will self destruct soon after a few seconds and will not do any damage to you         

When i first played the game i thought that the colors were a little bit dull in terms of the mechanics i thought that it lacked precision so i found it a bit hard to maneuver the character from left to right and also i thought that the bullets moved towards the character a bit too quick.

The third enemy units are seem to be giant wasps that will appear out of nowhere once the previous enemy units can't be seen from the screen once they appear it will indicate a new level and your weapon or fire power will increase or evolve automatically, these units will move forward while shooting at you and they take about 10 bullets to take them down. 


The next enemy is the boss unit. In the beginning of the boss level the boss will appear three pocket looking things on it's back, the boss will immediately launch homing attacks at you that are destroyaable like the maggots, these pockets will close after it's finished launching it's attack and will launch a different attack which are the standard bullets. The pockets on it's back will open again and launch another attack, the only way to defeat the boss it to destroy the pockets on it's back while they are open and you can only destroy one at a time.
