Context

Kimera’s food (the flies)
© Liam Barnett 2010
Kimera is a bouncing frog out to collect her food (flies) to keep herself and her family alive.
Kimera is only able to collect food by jumping from lily pads into the air to catch her flying prey. Kimera must stay on the lily pad as she has always been unable to swim, meaning she can only navigate the water by bouncing across the lily pad’s.

Game Goals & Genre
© Liam Barnett 2010
The goal is to guide Kimera to her food before the time
runs out, using only her bouncing lily pad.
If Kimera falls
into the water or
time runs out
that level is over.
The genre of this game
is action/survival.
This is because of the
fast paced gameplay
and the goal of
keeping Kimera alive
for as long as possible.

Look & feel
© Liam Barnett 2010
Players will want to keep Kimera alive which keeps them playing & playing.
The gameplay is fun as its fast paced with a clear
goal which leaves more time to play and less to
learn.
It is addictive because players will want to
keep Kimera alive which keeps them
playing & playing.
The colourful artefacts will add towards
the playful and fun image of the game.
This is a game you can simply pick up and
play. The ease of play will really appeal to
players. © Liam Barnett 2010
Player Experience
© Liam Barnett 2010
The player will take
Kimera’s life into their
hands, if the player
fails to collect Kimera’s
food in time she will
die and cannot
provide food to her
family.
The player will connect
with Kimera because
of the need to keep
her alive, This will keep
the players playing
over and over until
they achieve the game
goal.

Target Audience & Appeal
© Liam Barnett 2010
Female UK players
Aged between 12 and 18
I believe ‘Kimera: the bouncing frog’ fits the target audience perfectly as its playful, fun and playable by anyone at anytime as there is no real learning curve! I also think females will also like that the frog is specifically female rather than unisex.
