# Introduction

## Game Summary

A collection of mini-game levels which the user progresses through until the finish 

## Inspiration / Research

### Wii Play

Wii Play is a game consisting of nine smaller mini-games, each of which can be played in single player or in versus mode with two players going head to head.

In the Tanks! minigame the player pilots a tank from top-down. In the single player mode the player has a total of 100 levels to be played with increasing difficulties of enemies.
