# Jetpack Granny — development checklist

The game is developed and checked in sequence. Phases 6–25 are not part of the first garden slice.

- [x] 01 Foundation: menus, side scrolling, camera, gravity, solid collisions, keyboard and Xbox mappings. Foundation collision and input tests pass.
- [x] 02 Granny: original character artwork and fifteen expressive animation states; replaceable skin manifest.
- [x] 03 Jetpack: thrust, momentum, fuel, heat, exhaust, landings and assistance.
- [x] 04 Belongings: collectible behaviour, feedback and inventory.
- [x] 05 Garden: complete route, tutorial, required belongings and gate finish.
- [ ] 06 Comedy physics and interactive objects.
- [ ] 07 Enemies and obstacles.
- [ ] 08 Handbag combat.
- [ ] 09 The neighbourhood.
- [ ] 10 Angry neighbour boss.
- [ ] 11 Supermarket mayhem.
- [ ] 12 The park.
- [ ] 13 Town centre chaos.
- [ ] 14 Park warden boss.
- [ ] 15 Jetpack upgrades.
- [ ] 16 Granny in space.
- [ ] 17 Robot vacuum boss.
- [ ] 18 Complete layered sound design.
- [ ] 19 Replaceable voiced dialogue and subtitles.
- [ ] 20 Scoring, stars and replayability.
- [ ] 21 Progress saves and level-selection map.
- [ ] 22 Final graphical polish and performance pass.
- [ ] 23 Complete mobile controls and remapping.
- [ ] 24 Photo-based character personalisation.
- [ ] 25 Full release testing and Windows packaging.

## Phase validation

1. Foundation: 4 gravity, collision, jumping and controller-mapping tests passed.
2. Character: 6 cumulative checks passed, including all requested state mappings and atlas integrity.
3. Flight: 11 cumulative checks passed, including heat, fuel, crash protection and fixed-step consistency.
4. Belongings: 14 cumulative checks passed, including collection, restoration and bounded teeth movement.
5. Garden: 18 cumulative checks passed. A simulated route uses only movement and thrust to recover all four required belongings and reach the gate with all three hearts, in normal and assisted modes. No teleports or physics bypasses are used.

## First-slice limits and next improvements

- Main movement uses 70 transparent video frames with the original smoke and flame. The original 24-pose atlas still supplies reactions missing from the footage. New crash, combat and victory footage would complete the animation replacement.
- Controller bindings are tested programmatically. A physical Xbox controller still needs hands-on testing.
- Fixed-step tests compare 30, 60 and 144 Hz schedules. Sustained 60 FPS is a target, not a claim about every device.
- Settings are saved locally. Full progress, upgrades, achievements and level selection belong to Phase 21.
- The slice has layered jetpack and pickup effects and subtitle dialogue. Full audio production and replaceable recorded voice banks remain Phases 18 and 19.
- Touch control customisation, combat, enemies and later levels remain unimplemented.
- Next: Phase 6, comedy interactions, after feedback on the garden controls.
