I would like to see the characters walk smoothly. I would like to see a health bar implemented and 2 boxes for our 2 weapons (like in Zelda). I would also like to see the aliens and the dragon created.

The foundation of the game is the health bar, the sword  health meter, and the health meters for your most commonly used items. 
  16. How are these rules enforced?
These rules are enforced by letting the player know when the health meter is low hen the player is fighting the aliens. This could be done by a blinking message.And every time a player collects a dragon ball, you could have a basic animation showing the ball go into the bag. You could also have a sword with a bar inside showing your sword health.

Yes, this game enforces real life skills. This game will force the player to feel responsible and to use his or her analysis skills to make a strategy. The player will need to analyse the  surrounding area and make a basic strategy to defeat the aliens.

The player's analysis skills will also be tested by having the player talk to the villagers for additional info.
