Flash Game Tip #24

Remember when working on your brilliant game idea that ensuring your game is accessible to the widest possible audience will increase the likelihood that your game will receive the exposure and paid views it deserves.

Flash Game Tip #30

Keep in mind the keyboards and their layouts are not the same throughout the world. Either provide a variety of controls for your game or, even better, provide a custom-mapping utility for the player to customize preffered keys for control.

Flash Game Tip #39

If you’re including sound with your game, use it to augment the experience rather than require the player to recognize it to advance. Also always include separate background music and sound effect controls that allow the player to turn one or the other off individually.

Flash Game Tip #49

As with sound, use color to augment the gameplay experience only. If the gameplay element must be distinguished from another based on appearance, use a unique texture with each color so that even those with any type of color blindness can recognize the difference.

Flash Game Tip #73

With touchscreens on laptops and mobile devices becoming ever more prevalent, don’t expect the player to use a mouse to play your game.

Flash Game Tip #89

Due to gaming on mobile phones, automatic save states are becoming a standard feature players expect. Don’t disappoint them.
