Stencyl Game Concept plan

Hi there! :) For one of our assignments, we need to create a game in the game engine Stencyl.
At first I wanted to make an Role play game but consider the complexity involved in building one from scratch so I changed my mind. Now I'm going for the idea of making a platformer since as a beginner, will be the safer option.
My plans are to make this game about a pirate seeking treasure and must battle numerous enemies to reach the loot at the end of each level. Considering how much I love rpg games, I wouldn't mind adding in a leveling up system or equipment feature. The loot will be in the form of a treasure chest and might contain gold or a special item like a piece of equipment.
This is the same post from another blog here so I decided post it up since it concerns this topic.
