Now we’re ready to share our winning formula for making an engaging hit. Scroll through our learnings and make sure to apply them for your next aiming puzzle project!

Make Aiming Intuitive

First things first, make sure that the players can easily grasp how to aim and control the direction of objects.

Challenge Precision

Offer a range of obstacles that would test players’ precision. A challenge like this makes for a deeper engagement and a more satisfying solution.

Make Use of Physics

Incorporating realistic physics into the game will add variety and depth to your gameplay. Mechanics based on physics are the most intuitive and appeal to a really wide audience.

Get Creative with the Camera

Use game design tricks such as dramatic slow-mo and epic zoom-ins to add action to the game and reinforce player satisfaction.

Add Constraints

Consider making the puzzles more diverse and entertaining by occasionally constraining the player’s abilities. In Mr. Pain, for example, there are areas where the gravity gun doesn’t work – find your way around it!

Add Sound Effects

Make the world of your aiming puzzle more immersive and pleasing to all senses by adding sound effects that reinforce the gameplay.

Offer Customization

Give players an option to customize their experience by offering extra skins or weapons to choose from. Make these objects hard to get to engage the users even more and increase retention.

Offer a Variety of Solutions

Provide players with different ways of interacting with the world and completing levels. This will give them a sense of control over their experience and increase the game’s replayability.
