The week the focus was on preparing for the Alpha presentation.

To prepare, we worked on:

• Creating a tutorial level that introduces players to new mechanics
• Adjusting our existing full level according to playtest feedback 
• Continued work on player models and animations
• New models for forest/greenhouse area for future levels
• Creation of a start screen and pause menu
• Energy mechanic changed into a star reward system rather than limited energy system
• Color adjustments to environment and shaders
• Controller support and support for switching between controller types
• Improved level designs to look better and feel better to play

Challenges:

• Making sure the tutorial level is self-explanatory and not too confusing for someone who hasen't experienced the game. Getting friends/family to playtest this section specifically helped figure out a good balance. 
• Start/end screen UI and controller support presented many challenges in creating an input system that can switch between inputs without breaking.
• Figuring out a visual style
•  Prioritizing how much of the current level we have to include for the alpha.

Relevant build is attached.
