Description

Episode 2 is the second of four games explaining the basic concepts of video games. It deals with the playerโ€™s motivation to continue playing instead of leaving a game and examines what makes a game fun โ€“ instead of frustrating โ€“ to play.

*New!* "Download the soundtrack":http://soundtracks.pixelate.de/track/understanding-games-soundtrack

For more information on computer game theory and game design have a look at the "recommended readings":http://www.pixelate.de/games/understanding-games.

How to Play

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.

This is exactly what "modern" games lack of: sometimes there is a huge gap between Easy/Normal/Hard levels, forcing people to play to an unconfortable level. 5/5

@fhhuber "game fail... no mute"

Actually, if you click the EQ bars in the upper right corner, mute happens.
