iBearSoft survey highlights iPhone gamers' top ten requirements
iPhone developer iBearSoft has just revealed the details of a private survey intended to uncover the aspects of game design most desired by iPhone users.
The survey was taken from cross-section of gamers and iPhone game and application review publications, and while some of the results perhaps appear a little obvious, it's interesting to see how these aspects of game design have been prioritised by the end user.
Here's the top 10 most desired features uncovered by the survey:
- Reasonable simplicity
- Clear idea
- Dynamic action
- Scoring
- Multiple levels
- Competition
- Quick interaction
- Reason
- Appearance
- Updates
Again, some of these requirements are a bit of a given, but very few games manage to harness the majority of these features - even if it's just a lack of extra levels or a concise, understandable scoring system - so it's definitely food for thought when beginning a new development.
The features are explained in further detail over on the iBearSoft survey page.
