Main idea: you are a specialized program sent by a technician made to eliminate malware in a infected computer
Secondary ideas:
A boss fight with the malware to reinforce the eliminating said malware idea (must have)
Glitchy elements to reinforce the computer and malware theme (must have)
Computer elements (e.g files, windows, popups) to reinforce the computer theme (must have)
Intro where a usb drive sends you to defeat the virus (optional)
Outro where the technician gives back the repaired computer to the customer (optional)
Tradeoffs: i would choose quality and optimization so the level can be enjoyed by anyone while making the level… y’know, enjoyable e.g looks nice, good gameplay, and bug free.
The reason I sacrificed time is because i would rather take my time polishing and making a enjoyable level rather than have annoyed players complaining about buggy gameplay or lagging the ever living hell out of their devices because i rushed it. Besides, other players can play other levels while i try to make a polished level
