Some of the qualities that players look for in a game have been listed below. They are exactly what game players all over the world look for.

Great Gameplay

This is the most important quality. The game has to fun, addictive and challenging. This is the hardest part of developing a game. A game that is too easy is boring and if it is too hard that players cannot make a headway, this is also counter-productive. You have to design the game to be interesting enough to keep players coming for more.

Stunning Graphics

This is another important feature. The graphics of your game has to look natural and captivating. Great graphics should also be accompanied by fantastic sound effects.

Endlessness

Great games should have “endless” challenges. In reality, there is no game that does not have an end but the idea is to make the game very long with so many challenging levels. Once a player is able to finish a game, he might not be motivated enough to play it all over again so he might eventually delete it.

Fantastic Storyline

Games that are supported with very good storyline are usually very successful. They are not only interesting, they also offer real life scenario and they are immersive as players will feel like they are going on real life missions

Multilingual

A good game should have multiple versions for different languages. Players should be able to select language during installation. If your game is designed for English players, people who speak French, Spanish, German and even Portuguese will never play it. So, difference in language should not be a barrier.

Fast Load Time and High Responsiveness

Players prefer games that load very fast. No matter how interesting a game is, it should not take up to 15 seconds to load. 20 seconds load time is still manageable but anything above 20 seconds is not acceptable. However, the RAM capacity, operating system and CPU of your mobile device also contribute to the speed of any game. Higher specifications usually enhance faster load time and faster response.

Compatibility with Multiple Platforms

Good mobile games should not be selective. They should be compatible with all mobile device platforms. After all, there are only two major platforms for mobile devices – iOS and Android. Even though higher specifications enhance better game performance, it is better to make the requirement of a game very low. The lower it is, the more the players. Needless to say the success of any game depends on the number of players of the game.

Little or No Ads

Too many ads can be annoying and frustrating so you need to either eliminate ads totally or reduce them drastically. Players will stop playing any game that has too many ads. These ads usually interrupt the fun and the “flow” of a game.

Make It Free

Free games are usually the most popular. Players are ready to download a game and try it out without fore knowledge of the game only if it is free. In fact there are too many free games available for anybody to pay for any game. If you really want to make your game successful, then it has to be free.
