Description | With this presentation, I will analyze several "verby noun" casual games (a la Crossy Road), in order to parse out the experience of playing this genre of mobile games. I approach this from the perspective of how the game mechanics and features encourage us to play these games in short regular bursts ideal for mobile platforms. Sequences from several games will be played and in order to illustrate how the various components of these games come together to create a compelling gameplay experience. While similar and simple, these games offer some interesting variations on a set of core mechanics to make for some fun casual games. |
