Whack A Mole: Art Style Impact Study

Ever wondered if the graphics of a game could influence how well you perform? This is the question my second thesis sets out to answer, and Whack A Mole is the experiment!

About the Game

Whack A Mole is a classic arcade-style game with a twist. Players aim to hit as many moles as possible within a set time. However, the game introduces two distinct visual styles:

• Low Poly: Minimalist, smooth, and clean.
• Pixel Art: Retro, vibrant, and nostalgic.

Your Role

Play the game, enjoy the fun challenge, and contribute to research by providing your score in both art styles. This study examines whether a player’s graphic preference impacts their performance.

Features

• Simple and engaging gameplay.
• Two interchangeable art styles: Low Poly and Pixel Art.
• Automatic score tracking for each style.
• A small step toward understanding the psychology of gaming!

Why Participate?

Your participation helps bridge the gap between game design and player psychology. Plus, it’s a fun opportunity to test your reflexes and enjoy two distinct art styles.
