LEGO Marvel Avengers - Mission 05 - “Helicarrier Havoc”
Overview
The Helicarrier exterior level is the third section of the overall level which takes place during the events of the
avengers film where Captain America and Ironman have to repair the main engines.
The main structure for the level was to make it interesting as possible to tie in with the film correctly.
By using of a side scrolling based platforming level this worked best as it varied up the use of puzzles and
player events happening throughout the level.
I was tasked with scripting the gameplay and building the lego for the relevant mechanics.
