User Story¶

As a player, I want to freely select levels, so that I can explore different paths while unlocking abilities to fully complete them later.

Description¶

• Players can choose any level from the start, but some sections cannot be accessed without specific powers.
• New spells and abilities unlock previously unreachable areas, encouraging revisiting levels.
• Levels have multiple paths, but some require backtracking once powers are obtained.
• Progress is saved, meaning completed objectives remain done when replaying a level.

Test Cases¶

• Verify that all levels are available to select from the beginning.
• Ensure that some areas within levels remain inaccessible without the correct power.
• Confirm that unlocking a new power allows the player to access blocked paths in previous levels.
• Validate that progress (e.g., collected items, completed puzzles) persists between level replays.
• Ensure that players can complete levels in any order but may need to return to fully complete them.
• Check that the Level Select menu visually indicates which levels are fully completed vs. partially completed.
