Game Analysis Day

1. What game(s) stood out to you and why?

The games I played that stood out to me, were "Splix.io" and "Bloons".

Splix.io stood out to me because it was fun, addicting, and also multiplayer. The game also had a tutorial which made it easy to learn the controls and how the game works.Bloons stood out to me since it was simple and challenging but very fun. It had a clear objective and easy to learn game mechanics.

2. What games were "good" games?
      I thought Bloons was a good game because it was fun, simple, but also challenging at times. The game mechanics and interface were good along with the game having a clear objective to complete.

Another good game was Cookie Clicker. It was very clear on what you had to do, and what you need to do it click a cookie. By clicking on the cookie, the game rewards you with more ways of obtaining cookies which you then use to get more cookies.

3. What games were "bad" games?
      I found "The Fancy Pants Adventures" to be a game that I found bad. It lacks instructions on how to overcome certain obstacles and doesn't have too much of an interface. I had to find which button which was used for jumping since the game didn't have a menu for controls. 4. My favourite game of the day was "Splix.io".
  In Splix.io you are a square and you have to claim as much area as you can by closing in an area. But while you're closing in an area to add to your landmass other people can claim your land, or if a person were to hit your trail while you were claiming land you would lose and have to start over. 

      
This game is quite fun once you understand how to play. Risks are another thing in this game, you can risk going for a large area of land, which will leave you exposed but will be worth it if all goes well, or you can play it safe and stay close to your own landmass so you have less of a chance of being killed by another player.

I'd rate this game a 9/10
