🚀 Learning Goals

By completing this project, I explored several Unity concepts:

• Adding music and sound effects 🎵
• Creating dynamic endless repeating backgrounds 🌄
• Spawning and timing obstacles ⚠️
• Using particle effects like splatters and explosions 💥
• Building a satisfying moment-to-moment gameplay loop

This project is meant as a practice ground for Unity skills in audio, VFX, and procedural gameplay elements.
