Summary
Gestures of various forms, both simple and more complex, are in common use in
modern mobile games. Therefore, it is reasonable to start with a title dedicated to
them. A simple gesture game will not require big efforts on coding and preparing
the assets. There are no complicated mechanics. The levels are very simple and
can even be generated in real time, and the amount of graphics is minimal. Roughly
speaking, this is a prototype of input functions that suddenly became a standalone
game! This is not to belittle its value, because in a case of using a large amount of
creativity and craft, such a game can become amazing. All you need to do is pay at-
tention to the details: provide a simple and bright idea, use noticeable graphics for
gesture symbols, and place attractive backgrounds. Don't forget about the pleasing
animation and lovely sounds; make the game process comfortable and balanced. As
a result, you can get a product you can be proud of. In the next chapter, we will talk
about a board and card games. They require more attention to a plot and intercon-
nection between game elements, therefore some more time should be spent on the
planning of rules and developing game elements.
