Understanding Games: Episode 2

Created by: avatar for pixelate pixelate

Description (Game published on 2007-03-13)

Episode 2 is the second of four games explaining the basic concepts of video games. It deals with the player’s motivation to continue playing instead of leaving a game and examines what makes a game fun – instead of frustrating – to play.
Please note that you’ll need the Flash 9 plug-in!
For more information on computer game theory and game design have a look at the recommended readings.

Instructions

Follow the in-game instructions of your hosts Bub and Bob. You can skip the text using the space key. Click on the equalizer in the top right to mute sound/music.

Nice series, good for people who think of a game like a bunch of clicks and hits. They all have a simple yet complex engine.
5/5
