Player
Throughout the project's development phase, I had the opportunity to design various player abilities. I crafted a diverse set of six abilities, encompassing both offensive and defensive capabilities. Furthermore, I introduced a rechargeable shield to safeguard the player's health, which gradually replenishes over time. Additionally, a heating system was implemented for the player's primary fire, preventing excessive use by introducing overheating mechanics.

Optimization
As we aimed to incorporate bullet hell elements into the game, we observed a decline in performance when numerous projectiles were active. To address this challenge, I delved into design patterns and identified object pooling as a promising solution for our project. Implementing object pooling significantly enhanced performance, mitigating the issues associated with a high volume of projectiles and contributing to a substantial boost in overall game performance.

Game UI Design
As the designer of player abilities, I assumed the responsibility of crafting a user interface (UI) that effectively communicates the player's available toolkit. I conceptualized and implemented three bars, visually tracking the player's health, shield barrier, and primary weapon heat system. Ensuring clarity, I implemented visual indicators for player abilities, clearly displaying whether they are on cooldown or available for use.
