Describe at least 5 gameplay features associated with your original game. Do they fit neatly into one type of gameplay style—or a hybrid of two or more styles?

What will be an ideal response?

You should develop original game concepts and explore genres and gameplay styles that are best suited to their ideas. Gameplay features discussed in the chapter include quick reflexes, timing, power-ups, add-ons, pickups, character advancement, collecting, achievements, health, lives, checkpoints, resource management, and various systems (including inventory, scoring, movement, and combat). Students should determine whether the five features they describe all fit into one type of gameplay style – or represent a hybrid of two or more styles. For example, quick reflexes are associated with a number of action game styles (such run ‘n’ gun, hack ‘n’ slash, and platformer games).
