Game Design Skills used to produce the game
The skills that I have used to produce the game “Monster
crush” are critical thinking, ethical conduct as well as
communication skills. The critical thinking has helped me in
analysing various aspects of the games. Further while
development of the game, it has helped in improvising my
grammar skills that has boosted by confidence towards
communication. Also, I have experience that my rephrasing
skills have enhanced that ave reduced the academic misconduct
as well (ten Braak and et.al., 2019)

Name of the game: Monster Crush
Mode: Online
1. In the game, there is a character name Julia that has been kidnapped by the
monster. In order to free the character from the prison of monster, it is
essential for the player to pass through each level of the game.
2. In the game the player is free to choose a name and then get into the
adventure. The game will cover various levels and various environments that
need to be gone through. The rule of the game is that the player will not be
having any armours or weapons. But the only things that will help the player
is the shorts word that will help the player to gain information in order to
learn various contents.
3. In order to achieve the short sword, the player will be required to rephrase a
paragraph that will be available on the screen. As, the game reaches each
level higher, the allowed percentage of plagiarism will also decrease
accordingly. In order to clear the levels of the game, the player will have 3
lives. Though the revival of lives can be done after completion of every five
levels.
4. For that, the player will have to play a special level. Also, the complexity
level of words and phrases will also increase after every level. In case the
player fails to achieve the required criteria of plagiarism, the game will
showcase the most effective solution too. Also the game will focus upon
show casing the grammatical errors as well (Pakarinen and et.al., 2017).
