Robbing Family by Watsakan Pannoppha

In a game, there is 5 key elements of making a game fun and challenging.

• Challenge
• Strategy
• Luck
• Chance 
• Choice.

The game I chose to play is Robbing Family by Watsakan Pannoppha

Challenge: Challenge is what attracts the player to keep attempting to beat the game. However, if the game is too challenging, the player will give up so a balance must be found. 

This game is challenging as it requires to player to swiftly drop and drag the required items fast enough before the timer ends

Strategy: Strategy is what makes the game interesting to play. If a game does not require any strategy to play at all, the player will stop playing after one time because the game is too easy.

In level 2 of this game, the player requires strategy to choose either to defend themselves or focus on gathering the money. If the player focus too much on either one, they will lose so the player has to develop their own strategy to beat the game.

Chance: In chance, players get a chance that will help the player to win the game.

In this game, players are given a chance to restart from the same level that they lost so they would not have to start all over again. 

Choice: Choice is the decisions that the player makes that will affect the outcome of the game.

In this game, players are given a choice either to solve the password for the safe, or to gather all the cellphones from civilians. In level 2, players are given a choice to either gather the money, or defend attacks from the police.

Luck: Luck is what may change the outcome of the game depending on what choices the players are given.

Sometimes, players are given more cellphones to gather than passwords and the rate of cellphones and passwords appear at random so it depends on luck which one the player gets first.


Pros: The thing I liked about this game is the concept art of the game. I also liked the challenge in deciding if I should defend myself or focus on gathering the money.

Cons: The thing I disliked about this game is that at a certain point in level 2, the money bags can be picked up but cant be dropped. This results in me being defenseless and useless as the police keeps shooting me and I cant do anything about it.
