Game Characteristics

Game Selection

Game Entry Point Fixed or variable levels available when a player enters a game	Flexible entry point: nine levels: 3 beginner 3 intermediate 3 advanced
Game Start	Player raises hand
Player or Game Driven? Player driven games rely largely on the actions of the player and wait for a response before continuing; Game driven environments progress independent of the player’s response	Player driven: The next leak appears only after the previous leak is plugged.
Stability Maintain a posture/orientation of the trunk and/or limbs to: allow movement of other body segment(s), hold body/segment(s) in a required game position, and/or to resist perturbations	YES: Standing.
Mobility Movement of body segments to reach a target, avoid obstacles, assume required positions, or to “drive” or “steer” the game task	YES: Arms Legs Trunk Head
Agility	NO

Gameplay

Spatial Accuracy The type of accuracy required for aiming movements for which spatial position of the movement’s end point is important to task performance	YES: To plug leaks.
Temporal Accuracy The type of accuracy required of rapid movements for which accuracy of movement time is important to task performance	NO
Game Duration	Consistent
Cognitive Operations Executive functions of planning, response selection and switching attention	PLANNING (2) Select placement and position of arms, legs, and head to plug the leaks Sounds alert player to differing extent of upcoming cracks RESPONSE SELECTION (1) Choice of body part used to block leaks
Augmented Feedback Information from an external source that is intended to enhance or replace the intrinsic feedback that comes from a person’s own sensory, visual, and auditory systems	VISUAL (6) Body parts light up when appropriately placed over a leak Success of leak block: water stops or continues to flow. Pins are collected with successful plugs Counter increases with collection of pins Colour of medal indicates success View score AUDITORY (5) Sound indicates correct leak plugging Sound indicates impending end of game Sound indicates collection of pins Sound indicates medal gain Sound indicates plugging of challenging leak
Progression The extent to which the physical and/or cognitive difficulty level of the game progresses within a single trial of game play	A player experiences greater physical and cognitive challenge within a level as a greater number of leaks appear over time.
Game Score Performance indicators reflecting a player’s success	Reflects number of pins collected. Medal reflects game performance.
Game Modification Potential modifications that can be made in the virtual environment, the physical environment or the task	Game modifications can be categorized as physical environment, virtual environment and task. This section of the resource is planned as an interactive wiki so that users may add their experiences. An example of a physical environment modification is changing the support surface. An example of changing the virtual environment is eliminating the volume. An example of changing the task during Reflex Ridge is telling the player not to jump to decrease the physical challenge of the game.
