• Design Story (An evil doctor threw three Koalas down in the dungeon because they tried to escape the zoo. They now have been brainwashed and when the main Koala goes in a certain direction, the other Koalas follow. They need to escape each lab without getting blown up by TNT or saws!)
• Sprites - what they are, what they do, how you control them
• Objects - the good and the bad. What they do, how they do it
• Age range - reason behind age
• Gaming console and REASON
• Why did you design this game the way you designed it?
