Prompt 1: This game is very difficult, especially on a laptop. What makes me unsure of victory is a combination of the random spawning of balls with different speeds and inability to block while moving. This combination allows me to be vulnerable immediately after a block to a ball that’s going extremely fast randomly around the arena. I think there’s a learning curve to this game, but I was unable to get much better after a short time playing it. I think learning the timing of the block and good positions to be inside of the arena are two of the ways I could improve at the game. These factors may also correlate with a good strategy to get good at this game, but I was unable to find a good strategy after playing it for a short number of rounds. Since the movement of the dodgeballs is random, it’s also difficult to guess the moves of the enemies. The varying speeds also makes it hard to time the blocking correctly, but I could see a possible strategy being a location where the layer can constantly block and accumulate a high score. There isn’t much intrinsic tension in this game unless I am on the verge of getting a new high score. There is one source of extra complexity I found – playing on a laptop. It’s hard to click in the track pad while also controlling the player with the arrow keys, so this immediately puts the player at a disadvantage compared to playing on a desktop PC.
