Gameplay and Game Prototyping

GamePlay:

I was asked to play 5 games out of a list of over 10 in order to evaluate the experience and get ideas for creating my own game. My main focus was on the mechanics, the story line, and the game controls. Out of all the game types I played, I enjoyed the plat-former based games the most. These games have obstacles and allow the player to jump onto objects and evade enemies. 

The Games:

There is only one Level:

This game was very entertaining. It has a little elephant character and the level design is simple and challenging at the same time. I will not spoil it but I could not beat the game without help.

Canabalt:

Canabalt gets harder and harder the longer you play. You run as far as you can in the level without dying.

Burn The Rope:

Burn The Rope requires you to use the level to beat the monster. Your weapons are useless so you have to improvise a way to destroy the Grinning Colossus.
Jurassic Heart:

The graphics in this game are very cool. The game is about a dinosaur and a girl who have the chance to go on a date if win the game one of the ways that it can be won.
QWOP:

QWOP is a very difficult game and funny at the same time. You truly have to master the controls to get anywhere in this game.
