+\section{Game mechanics}

+\enquote{Pituicat} takes place in a two-dimensional world viewed from the side, the typical
+platformer view. The camera is usually centered on the player and follows his character thus
+scrolling horizontally and vertically, depending on level size in the direction of movement.
+The player moves around the map in real time as do the enemies. A HUD on screen schows
+remaining health in from of a bar the active powerup if any and the stored up to three
+powerups if any.
+
+\hspace{.5cm}
+
+A player in game can move around, jump and interact with certain objects in the game like
+valves or switches. The number of active control buttons on the keyboard rises as the player
+progresses and activates new abilities, but are mapped out to be easily reachable with one
+hand. Powerups and DNA-Fragments laying around on the map or dropped by enemies are collected
+actively by the player through direct contact. After clearing each level the player can spend
+newly gained DNA-Fragments on abilities on a static screen also showing some statistics on
+the player's progress before advancing to the next level.
+
+\hspace{.5cm}
+
+In \enquote{Pituicat} there is a number of active and passive abilities a player can invest
+DNA-Fragments in, enabling new actions or simply aiding the player's survival.
+Every ability has three levels of power, which can be activated coonsuming a DNA-Fragment,
+but only when the previous power level has been already activated. Unlocking an ability,
+also raising the power level to one, does not require any previous level of any other
+ability, but also consumes a DNA-Fragment.
+
+\hspace{.5cm}
+
+An example for a passive ability would be \enquote{Congeal}, which reduces received damage
+by 25\% per power level.
+
+\hspace{.5cm}
+
+Another example, this time for an active ability, is \enquote{Spit}, which enables the
+player to shoot a projectile with increasing range for each power level starting with
+two tile lengths over four to eight before dissolving into thin air.
