Design Statement
After listening to the theme track, the song reminds us of music like in the mysterious woods, or winter. At one point a team member mentioned that it sounds like an egg timer or a form of count down in the back, thus inspired us to make a video related to time. After much deliberating we thought that in a style of a video makes the most sense, as though you're scrubbing forward and back and alternating the path.

The game stars a small phoenix chick, as they navigate through the dark forest, however, being made out of fire and with no feathers, it faces many obstacles such as small puddles, rain, and impossible gaps.

Game Instructions (launch steps, controls, and gameplay overview)
The game would be made with a WebGL in mind, there will be a main menu, and simply press "start" if you wish to begin from beginning. The controls are mainly mouse click, with the occasional "Esc" button to "Pause" the game. Due to the game already have a built in pause feature, the "Esc" more acts as if you wish to return to level selection or quit the game.

The Gameplay consists of playing the "video", and when the phoenix stops or didn't make it to the end, you can rewind, and change something in the scene to help the phoenix reach it's destination. However, sometimes the Phoenix's path finding takes them off course, and it's up to the players to make sure the phoenix reaches the goal safe and sound.

The rain might cause some lag on certain devices on web, we did most of the testing on desktop so didn't realise this until too late.
