The document summarizes research on existing mobile games that are similar to the concept being developed. It analyzes Flappy Bird, Geometry Dash, and Crossy Roads, noting common features like controlling a single character/vehicle and avoiding moving or stationary objects. Key aspects the author will include are a bright, colorful scheme based on the research and simple gameplay for their limited experience in mobile game development.

Flappy Bird is a very simply design in terms of playable mobile game. However the
simplicity of the game makes it very addictive because every time you fail you feel like
you could easily do better
Flappy birds colour
scheme is very
bright and earthy.
This gives it the style
of simplicity
The object to
avoid is a simple
tube and would
be easy to
create.
The background
again is a simple
design and is
also easy to
create.
The controllable character
is a duck animal which flies
through avoiding objects.

3. Existing Product
Geometry dash is a much more well designed game compared to what I want to create but
the core design of the game is very similar to what I want to create with the aspect of
different styles of avoiding objects, such as flying and moving on a path.
GD provides a more
eerie colour scheme
with dark vibrant
colours both with the
character and the
background
This object
teleports the
vehicle into a
different
vehicle
which links
to what I
want to
create as my
game has
multiply
styles of
vehicles.
This
triangle is
an object
the user is
trying to
avoid. The
design of
this is very
simple and
is similar to
the style of
object I am
planning to
create.
This object again gives of an eerie design
to the game. Also it reflects a simplicity
style for the game.

4. Existing Product
Crossy Roads is a game very similar to mine in the way you need to avoid objects, however
this one is more difficult because of still objects like mine this one the objects are moving.
But the character cannot move sideways and can only move forward.
CR is well designed
fun game to play. The
bright colour scheme
gives off an enjoyable
game that is simple.
Its clear that the
target audience to this
game is very similar to
mine also.
This object here
is the character
the user is
controlling. It is a
well produced
design
This and all the other cars
are the objects the user is
trying to avoid. This is
slightly different to my
design in the way the
objects are moving
instead of being still.

5. Research Analysis
• What common features do the researched products have? All the existing products
• I researched all have different styles of gameplay but do have some similar
features in terms of the game. One massive common feature in the products is the
fact they are controlling only one vehicle/object which makes it very easy for the
user to get to grips with, this is also what my game uses as well. Another common
feature is the aim of the game, which is avoiding objects. Again this is the same as
my game. Another similar feature with most of the existing products is the bright
and positive colour scheme. This links with my design as I want to create a bright
game as it will link with my target audience and earthy feel to the game.
• What aspects of the research will you include within your on work?
• I will use lots of aspects of my research in my game. This will include the colour
scheme. As I just said I want to create a bright vibrant colour scheme in my game
and is the same with most of the existing products I researched. Also another
aspect I will use is the simplicity of the most of the games. This will make it easier
for me to design and finish the project in time as my skills are limited as my
experience in this rotation is quite week.
