This was kind of fun. I almost forgot I was playing a game. The controls were okay. But the changing backgrounds made it hard to see the things you needed to get.

Design Statement
The theme track was inspiring an calm but such engaging exploration of a world like a forest, at night. I got the ''exploration'' key and united it to Snake (the classic mobile game where you collect apples) and to flOw, with portals and different creatures. Then, i got inspired by the beautiful aestethic of Frutiger Aero, an 2000s technology design type where interfaces are mixed with nature and artificial but such beautiful elements (like bubbles, grass, water, glass, wind turbines) to make computers and other similar things less scarier. The snake is made out of glass with an transparent effect, and for the worlds i choosed backgrounds with auroras and beautiful nature places.
Game Instructions (launch steps, controls, and gameplay overview)
To launch the game, play it on itch.io or download the .zip and open the aurOra.html file. It will open on browser. I personally suggest to play it on itch.io, beacuse it runs on browser too, but if you want to play it offline through a local file download the .zip file.
The controls are simple:
WASD keys/arrow keys = move (PC)
H = return to aurOra (home) (PC)
Q = open/close options (PC)
Analog Stick/ D-PAD = move (Controller)
Start = Return to aurOra (Controller)
Select = open/close options (Controller)
A,B and d-pad and analog stick in options = navigate through menu (Controller)
When starting, you need to eat 20 particles to enlight the aurOra hub. After that, you can start your jOurney in 20 worlds that repeat. In each world, you need to eat 20 particles to enlight that world and go to the next. Every 3 worlds you will find an relic, an structure that once activated will make spawn rare particles with the colour of the relic. After collecting 20 of those particles and going to the relic, you will go to the next world and unlock a new aurOra in the home. If you activate a normal portal in a new world, a memOry will spawn: a memOry is an crystal that unlocks in a special dimension of the home a relic that lets you revive the world that corresponds to the relic. There is two more secret dimension: one unlockable in the home that brings to an sky with 4 extra aurOras; one that requires all aurOras (excluding the one of the sky) to be unlocked and rewards the player with an super special aurOra.

Did your project use any AI tools or assets? If yes, please specify.
Yes; ChatGPT made the code with my ideas and prompts. I composed sounds, i created the logo, and used free images from internet (without license). I made the dialogs and corrected the text, but the AI did some text on his own (a very small quantity of it), but i consider that the text was made by me, since the AI did something in the options i wanted or some text features.
