Temple Run 2
3D engine, collect the tokens through the environment which speeds up as you get
further through the game, avoid falling off the course, hitting the obstacles or being
caught by the weird animal chasing you
The audience is kids and teens. It appeals to them because its addictive and you can
unlock the custom characters and choose which character you wish to run as. Games like
this are played by kids and teens in free time.

3. Existing Product
Subway Surfers
3D engine, collect the coins whilst not getting hit by trains, run over, slide
under, change lanes. Fairly simple characters which can be swapped
between and you can also customize your board.
The fonts used are very simplistic and are really easy to read which
makes it easy for people to see how they're doing and not have to focus
too hard to see what their score is.
The audience is kids and teens. It appeals to them because it uses bright
colors and provides them something to do and get better at when they're
bored.

Jetpack Joyride
2D engine, collect the coins whilst avoiding the bombs and the electric bars.
The font used for the font is very clear and easy to read which means kids don't need to
have insanely good eyes and have to concentrate to see the text (which during the game
is their score)
This games audience is kids and teens. It appeals to them because they get to level up
once they have played enough which means they get coins to upgrade their jetpacks
and go further.

Dragon Hills 2
2D engine, collect the coins, take out the bosses to collect the cure which was apparently
dropped at some point and then some zombies run away carrying a little box full of
yellow/green tubes.
This appeals to an audience of children and teens as they can play when they're bored to
collect the coins to upgrade their dragon and progress through the levels.

6. Research Analysis
• What common features do the researched
products have?
All the researched products include some sort of pick up which leads to upgrades and
advanced customisation once enough pickups have been picked up. The first two
games have a similar red/orange sort of look to them.
• What aspects of the research will you include
within your on work?
I think I will definitely have to include some sort of coin pick up which can lead to
being able to buy or upgrade items in a shop on the start screen.
