Physicsthlon
Physicsthlon is a game inspired by the sport triathlon. Where each different sport or situation is connected to one another, and you cannot proceed to the next situation without finishing your current situation or sport. This game is a PowerPoint game and the most important thing to do in making a PowerPoint game is the hyperlink, where when you clicked a text there is a particular slide that will pop up or will be shown.
Mechanics are:
1. Player has 3 lives
1.1 If the player used 3 lives, game over
1.2 Player will lose 1 life per incorrect answer
2.Questions are Physics topics related
3.There are three situations that you need to finish
1st Situation: Jumping from a cliff
2nd Situation: Swimming
3rd Situation: Jogging
4.One question per situation in order to proceed
4.1 You only have one chance to answer per question
4.2 If your answer is correct, proceed to the next situation
4.3 If your answer is incorrect, you are to answer a new question but still in the same situation
4.3.1 You cannot proceed to the next situation until you get the correct answer without losing your lives
5. Finish the situations while not losing your life to win
6. Whenever there are arrows, press the arrow to go back and to be in the right sequence of the game
