Level Progression
Level ends: This game has only one level, like flappy bird. The player plays until losing 3 lives.

Game Structure
+ This game invites users to experience a unique plane-shooter genre gameplay where the goal is not to shoot down the enemies but to damage them by selecting a color that matches their appearance.
+ While there is currently one level, the structure of the game leaves more levels to be easily added.

Future Goals
+ Make infinite level generation using generative AI and implement bosses
+ Implement tutorial

# Buff and Treasure System
+ Elixir (buff): Buffs increase Neo's ultimate gauge by 1 upon collision. When Neo eats 7 Elixirs, he can activate Rainbow God (ultimate) which gives him invincibility and the ability to damage enemies regardless of the current chosen color for 7 seconds. The mana cloud emitted during Rainbow God is also rainbow, instead of being one color.
+ Primordial Mana (treasure): Treasures increase the gameplay score by 1000 upon collision with Neo.
