Game Specification
Welcome to the world of Cutting Corners, a top-down pseudo-RPG fighter game. Guide the time traveler Cirkyle, The Rounded (Depicted below), through various different levels in time in search of the greatest pot pie, all while surviving the dreaded polygons. Fight or flight your way to pie paradise, collecting items, skills, and powerups as you go. Defeat those in your way and find the perfect pie to win.
Each level will consist of a map with many segments (an example is included below). Each new segment of the map will contain some enemies which can be fought using the mouse or avoided. One of the segments will contain a boss (depicted below), which once defeated will grant access to the next level. Points and experience are granted from defeating enemies (depicted below), and when enough experience is earned, skill points are awarded, which may be spent on unlocking new skills.
When the player reaches 0 Health, the will die and be sent back to the beginning of the game.

Before the game starts the player will select a difficulty level. This will determine how much damage is done by each enemy as well as the speed and health of each enemy.
When the cheat mode is active, the player will not take any damage.
The Level Designer will allow the user to create their own custom set of levels, segment by segment. Once at least one full level has been created by the user (It must include at least 1 segment, and exactly 1 boss), they will be able to play their levels by setting the Campaign option in Settings to 'User Levels' before starting the game.
The game will function on Windows 10. When the game starts, a title screen will appear with options to access the Help, Settings and About screens. The title screen will also include a button to begin the game with the current settings.
