Testing

• We will be developing the game incrementally and
  testing as much as possible at each stage
• Boss fights will initially be tested in a level
  in which they are they only enemy in order to
  ensure that they are working as intended
• Extensive test plan to be implemented when we
  have one complete level to ensure it is of the
  highest quality before continuing
