THEME: SCARCITY
The game spaceboi reflects the theme of scarcity through the gameplay. As spaceboi travels through space, his oxygen level decreases which forces the player to collect oxygen tanks to continue. Since the character is alone in space, he must collect the plants, the only other sign of life where he is currently stranded alone.

Now let's WORKLearning to Code
The team didn't have much experience coding in the beginning. They jumped into the learning experience together. They all learned to code using Gamemaker Studio 2. This platform was chosen because of its simplicity, and it was first-time-user-friendly. There was a lot of helping one another, troubleshooting, bouncing ideas off each other, and a whole lot of teamwork. They put their skills together and created Spaceboi.
