For me it was fun because I played this whenever I was a child so it beings back old memories of me and my friends playing it. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the motivating factor to get or keep players playing? For me its a competition of who can get the best score out of your group. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the game persuasive, and what is it trying to get you to do outside of the game? For me at least its not persuasive, it doesn&#8217;t want me to do much. I only would want to get a better score than others. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the game\u2019s metaphor and which of the game\u2019s mechanics standout? I guess its dumb ways to die, and none of the mechanics really. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How does the gameplay make you feel? Who does the game make you feel empathy for? It gives you a little jolt, the further you get the faster and harder it gets. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Is the game an activist game? If so what does the game play advocate for? I believe it is, I think its about safety around trains. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Describe the game in 3 sentences or in the form of a haiku. Dumb stupid deaths<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":261,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89,144],"tags":[139],"class_list":["post-15809","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-game-design-studio-2","category-game-review","tag-marked"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15809","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/261"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=15809"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15809\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15810,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15809\/revisions\/15810"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=15809"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=15809"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rmu.andrewyames.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=15809"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
