Assignment 3: Review a Digital Game for a Selected Platform

Review a Digital Game Demo for a Selected Platform

The purpose of the demo I have created is to showcase the base game and some assets, this will give players insight into what the final product will be like and give them a taste of the style/direction the game is going.

The intended audience is 14 to 18 year olds as the gameplay of the game will likely not engage young children or mature adults as well as it would engage teenagers.

Intended platform for the game is mainly touch screen devices such as Ipads, tablets and smart phones as simply touching the screen is how you play the game.

The outline of the game is that the main character ninja is in a classic hero dilemma. The emperors daughter has been captured and all the best and brightest are occupied which leaves it down to the youngest klutziest ninja around to save her.

There is only one visible character in the game; Ninja, However in the final game princess may me be added and a small intro cutscene is likely o be present.

Feedback survey for the game demo.

Here is a screenshot of the first build of the demo in action.

After setting up a survey for the game demo on surveymonkey.com I had some people from the target audience play the demo and give me feedback, Due to the age range of the target audience some of the answers were sarcastic however this was previously taken into account and all answers have been taken as constructively as possible, Most of the testers both enjoyed the game and suggested the only thing that needed improving was the detail on the assets such as, The sprite having animations and The buildings and sky having more to them. Based on this feedback I will improve upon the demo by reworking the scrolling background and buildings.
