Playing to Learn Part 1

Name of the Game: Don't Take it So Literary

What were you looking for?

 I wasn't looking for anything specifically. All I was looking for in general was the way of teaching, how they projected their learning topic. The Game was fun to play because I can see how it would help me understand and learn the definitions of the words.

Was the Game fun to play? 

  In my opinion the game wasn't as adventurous as I wanted to be but although it didn't, it had a strong education skill. Actually it was fun because I was able to learn at the same time as playing.

How does the designer reward you and keep you playing?

  The designer keeps us playing by doing the cool, glittery designs in the game. When I see those types of things it makes me feel inspired to keep on going and follow more on the game. It rewards me by saying "Good Job", or providing more levels for you.

What does this game teach you?

  This game teaches me definitions of words that we need to know in our English Class. For example knowing all the English Elements. It also teaches me how to find words that I don't even know about.

I'm not sure If I noticed the hidden objects that taught me the objective but one I did notice was that it had hidden clues that matched with the word, for example synonyms were included.

I would say middle school would find the game educational, it is also good for teachers in a way were they would make learning fun for their students and not be bored.

I would make this game better by adding more color because when there is no color it is hard to entertain the player. I would also add more clues to some of the words, also include sentences to help the player understand.
