2D Game

This game is one scene I’m developing amidst a larger game about the dilemmas women face at different stages of their life. The entire game will be designed as a retro collage. This stage is the “fertility” stage, where women are faced with the choice of focusing fully on their career and building accomplishments or whether to start a family. If they choose to start a family by collecting the falling babies, they get congratulated with cheers. If they choose to take contraceptive pills and collect degrees, they get booed. 

Collecting family points increases the player’s fertility score on the left side of the screen but lessens the player’s success stack on the right side of the screen, and vice-versa. Ultimately, the player must choose which of the points they want to focus on. They will quickly discover that it is impossible to win = drop below -8 points on either scoreboard, and you lose out. 

I made the collages in this game.

Things to fix = 

I've added code to make the player shoot, but the bullets currently only shoot right and do nothing on impact.

I've added code to make sounds play upon collision with the babies, contraceptive pills and graduation hats, but this does not work for some reason.
