Theme

Difficulty is one of the core dynamics in game design. The amount of power players have over their obstacles or enemies is essential to shaping gameplay experience. How can you use the feeling of power (including being over or under powered!) across ALL aspects of game development (mechanics, art, music, narrative, etc.)
