The Lens of Challenge
Challenge is at the core of almost all gameplay. You could even say that a game is defined by its goals and challenges. When examining the challenges of your game, ask yourself these questions:
- What are the challenges in my game?
- Are they too easy, too hard, or just right?
- Can my challenges accommodate a wide variety of skill levels?
- How does the level of challenge increase as the player succeeds?
- Is there enough variety in the challenges?
- What is the maximum level of challenge in my game?
