Chapter 176 - Addicting Game
Anipop was an incredible game. In Chen Mo’s previous life, it’s playerbase encompassed children under the age of then and adults over fifty. It had over ten million daily active players in five months time, and with future development, it even broke fifty million. It was truly a game that was nationwide, for ages.
Why was the game so addicting?
Unlike traditional matching games, the difficulty of Anipop didn’t come from a time limit, but a move limit. This allowed players to plan out their next move instead of rushing.
This turned matching games into a true casual puzzle game instead of a game on reaction time, hand speed, and how fast the players notice the matches.
At the same time, Anipop added many more ways to clear tiles, such as line clears, explosions, random clears… and when combined together will have different effects. It was also sometimes possible for the player to achieve full clears, giving players immense satisfaction, making it much more interesting than other matching games.
Anipop also did a really good job balancing the game. There was a base amount per match, special clears and chain clears will award bonus points, and different scores will correspond to different amounts of stars, enhancing the balancing of the game.
Anipop’s level design was also incredibly high quality, there were more than twelve hundred different levels under five main categories, unlocking as the player progressed through the game.
“Really?” replied Chen Mo, “Well, nice meeting you.”
Saury let out a stifled laugh, “That’s all you got? You aren’t even going to ask how much I’m being paid? Seems like you didn’t really mean the invitation after all. Let’s exchange details, if I do plan to change companies, I’ll let you now.”
Chen Mo replied after a few short moments, “Alright.”
And just like that, the two of them exchanged their contacts right in front of the staff.
What’s going on? You guys are just going to pretend that I’m not here?”
“Alright, see you next time,” said Chen Mo before turning to his booth.
