The student played and evaluated the mobile game "aa", a free strategy game where the objective is to connect dots to a central circle without hitting already connected dots. The game has multiple levels that get more difficult. Positives included it being addicting and time-consuming and helping with patience. Negatives were a lack of saving game data. Bugs caused glitches, lag, and balls moving without input. In conclusion, the student rated the game 4/10 due to uncontrollable gameplay from lag and losing unfairly due to technical issues.

Game Objective
You have to connect the dots onto the big circle in the middle of the screen however there is already some dots on sticks connected
to the big circle. If your dots hit that dot already connected then the game will be over.
Game Structure
There are many rounds and levels, the higher the lever the tougher it gets.
Positives
It’s addicting and great at time consuming. It makes you feel focused and help with your skills in being patient and knowing when to
‘act’
Negatives
You can’t save the game data. If you change over phone or delete the format etc. all your progress will be lost.
Bugs Identified
The games will glitch and sometimes because a red screen to pop up or it will glitch when you tap the screen and make the ball lag
and go out at the wrong moment. Or the ball will realise itself without you touching it at all.
Conclusion
In conclusion this game is probably a 4/10. I didn’t like this game and I don’t think aa achieved what it wanted to achieve. It’s meant
to be a strategy game where you place the dot when you want to place it. However the game doesn’t do that, it goes when it wants
to go. The lag the game has is unbearable and stressful. It makes you lose when you shouldn’t be losing.
