I just played Stop Disasters which is a game that enables you to simulate multiple disasters and ways of preventing them. I would say that the designers of the game wanted to create a game so that they could raise awareness of the severity of disasters. Thedesingers wanted to create a game that allowed for them to show how bad certain senerios can be and what people are trying to do to make them better. The goal for the gamer is to prevent as many people and buildings from getting hurt when the disasters comes. It is not easy to accomplish because you have limited resources and you have acertaing amount of time. If the gamer feels that they are more experienced then they can also change the size of the map to make it more difficult. Over all the game was something that impressed me. There are also some flaws in the game. The gamer needs to play for twenty minutes which they might not do because they feel it is a long time. The gamer also cannot control the people in the city, but overall the game was fun to play and it got a message across to their gamers.

Here is a screen shot:

Hey everyone,

This is Jose Avila. I am a 3rd year here at SMASH and I am looking forward to the creation of many experiments and one well run game. I don’t have much to say but have a good time playing our games, we want feedback and are looking to improve them as much as possible.
