jumpr - an Android game I developed for research
Saturday, March 30, 2013 - 05:44
As part of my Bachelor thesis at university I developed a game for Android. I'm using it to conduct research. The more players I get, the better the results will be.
For the design I took a minimalist approach. I've released the GUI style on OpenGameArt and hope to open-source the code when I've finished my studies.
I'd be thrilled if you give it a go and let me know what you think: http://jumprgame.com/

Hi Joshua,
Your game is pretty addictive. I especially like the combo mechanism, because it rewards players who correctly estimate their own skill.
Do you only collect data from the feedback form, or do you also collect statistics about the gameplay?
Hey Thomas.
I'm glad you like the game. Thanks for giving it a try.
I do also collect gameplay data about sessions such as the time spent playing, how many platforms the player landed on, etc. (mostly the stuff you can see in the "stats" menu). This data is used solely for evaluating the results of the experiment.
Hope that doesn't sound too spooky. :)
