09/03 DP2 Seminar - Flash Games

Today's seminar was about good and bad flash games.

I have looked at some flash games on http://www.flash-game.net/
and found this game called 'Run Bolt Run' interesting.

It's basically a jumping-to-collect-coins and fighting-against-enemy game. It's easy to play, have straight forward instruction and tasks, and also a clear layout to see scores and health.

Another one I tried was called 'Toy Factory'

The quality of the game is quite good as it's 'half 3D'. But the instruction isn't very clear, and it's hard to control with the keyboard arrows. I took a long time to get use to how to play it.

So we have made some conclusions about the important things to remember when making our own quizzes.

• quick and easy to play
• some kind of awards
• music makes it interesting
• easy control and easy to get use to
• clear instruction and layout
• not too easy or simple
