The final level design as seen from above. The starting area gives a good overview of the map and potential objectives of where to explore.
The level design and progression was made from quick evolving prototypes. We went from cheap prototypes to a fully fleshed game using concentric design.
A good example of iteration was the introduction of mushrooms to reduce player's frustration and reinforce our experience goals, making the player feel joy and relaxation.
