These existing game app designs are all for 3 match puzzle games. They
all include images of bright characters or objects. The theme of the game
is continued throughout the games, for example the same colours,
lighting and fonts are used. From looking at these app images you can tell
that they’d appeal to anyone whatever age who are interested and
dedicated to gaming. Just from looking at the app images you can briefly
see what is going to be included in the game before you play it, for
example there is cute objects in a line matching into three and
the characters you can find in the game. The app image it is made clear
what device the game can be played on which is a mobile device. I will
use these aspects in my own game app design, and I will use a similar
design as my game is also going to be a three match game.
• All these games have power ups
• All these game have fun characters

Candy Crush is a game which has a simple concept and has a
pixelated theme. I have gathered inspiration from this and I
am going to make my own game idea pixelated and design it to
have bright colours. The game is simple to play and is aimed
at younger players, my game is going to be more detailed and
difficult, therefore it will be aimed at older people. This game
are played on mobile divices which I think is a good
idea because they will have a larger audience of people because
they can be played anywhere, whether it is on public
transport or just while they are sat at home. I like the colours
and fonts used in this game and I might use a similar
design/idea in my own game.
