2. Existing Product
This game is very similar to the game I
want to produce, the maze in the
background is brightly coloured, the
sprites displayed on the image on the left,
implies an eerie, creepy feel towards what
should be a fun, gentle game, the game
gives off quite a retro feel and looks quite
“old fashioned” I get this feeling because
of the graphics of the game, the angle that
has been used is an aerial shot, by using
this angle this shows the audience the
whole outset of the game, the style of the
text that has been used is very clear and
pixelated.

This games makes it audience want to
play it because it looks fun to play and it
also looks as if it could attract young
boys and girls because its colourful and
bright, the props used are a number of
round balls that collect little dots and the
location of the game is set in a maze, the
angle that has been used is an aerial
shot, by using this shot it shows the
audience the whole outset of the game,
the ghosts and over icons on the right
hand side of the image implies that the
game is quite creepy and eerie.
4. Existing Product
This game is different compared to other
ones, the characters in this game give off
a happy vibe because of the smiling red
dots and the colours used are friendly,
this will make the audience want to buy
the game and also because the game is
bright and can attract people easily, the
props used in this game are bullet like
blue objects and red dots with a face on,
and also green circles, the colours used
in this image are both bright but also
quite dark
