The student proposes a pixel maze game for their FMP project where the player collects items. They chose this project because they enjoy making pixel games and want to create their own game. It is important to the student because they like playing video games and want to make a game that is as good as possible. Their initial influences come from previous pixel games they enjoyed playing and making. They want players to enjoy the game and have fun while playing. The style of the game will use bright colors to resemble an outdoor adventure setting, to match the goal of creating a game where the player goes on a collecting adventure.
