I didn’t go through all the games because I want to know if these ideas work or not. If we like these ideas, I can go through and add each game into the right category.
For changes to categories, I think I have a few ideas that would really help out.
For the Puzzle category, it looks like we’ve mixed all 3 kinds of puzzle games into one category. It would be nice to take these games and split them into these 3 categories. If that’s too much, we could merge 2 of the 3 together. I think this should at least be 2 categories. Here’s the 3 I would split into:
- Puzzle (Match 3 and falling block-style game where the puzzle is endless, like Tetris or Candy Crush)
- Puzzler (A puzzle game where your goal is to complete a puzzle, like Sokoban and Pipe Dream)
- Strategy (A simulation or resource-based game, usually endless and can be against an AI, like Sim City or a war strategy game.)
Here’s a few examples of which games would fit into these categories:
Puzzle: Kooky Kookies, Blob Attack, Begemmed, Atomic, 2048, Tres, Psi Colo, Bombzzle, Light Out, Ring
Puzzler: Circuit Dude, Flood Fill, Tiny Sokoban, Pipes, Sensitive, Dark Star, Blocks!, 1010
Strategy Games: MicroTD, MicroCity, Ardulem, Logix, and you can also move ARtillery into this category
Next, change RPG to ‘Adventure,’ which would include RPG’s, but also games like Glove, Catacombs of the Damned, A Maze Adventure Game, ArduIndy, Zoo At Midnight, Tacklebox, Curse of Astarok
Other changes:
Move Evade, Evade 2, Juno First, Love Rush, Space Battle, Asteroids, Jet Pack, Quadrastic, 1943, 1944, Space Quarth to Shooter.
My game, Suit Shooter, isn’t on the list. It could go into the Shooter category.
Move Boris Goes Skiing to sports.
Move Quarto, Sudoku, Tic Tac, and Hangman to Tabletop.
Move Arduboy Says to Arcade.
.
They could be but I think it may make more sense to have them in categories the game would fall under since I think that would make more sense as someone looking through games on the device.
