During our presentation I could tell that the audience did not understand how the game was laid out. By this I mean they didn’t understand how the levels were put together. I think we should of explained more about how each level becomes more difficult and the different aspects that make it more difficult. The audience seemed to think all the levels were the same but really as the levels advance there are more obstacles put in place and so we should of explained these obstacles deeper.

What we did get across was the concept of this game. It was obvious that our game was about being a hit man. We showed that the person that plays the game gets to become a hit man and kill a target and receive money for doing so. I believe the audience understood the concept just not how it was accomplished.

I believe the hardest aspect to address was the rules. The rules are hard to explain because there are so many. It is hard to explain the procedures without actually playing the game because you may forget a step and that may make the game seem as though it is an entirely different game. There are also many different delimiters to remember. There may be a delimiter that says that the player can only be caught a certain amount of times before having to restart the whole game. This is an important restriction to know but it is easy to forget because there are so many delimiters. An easier aspect to address are the goals because it is easy to explain that what the  player needs to do is get to the next level. It is easy to explain that this is what the player is working for. It is also to explain the mechanics  because a lot of games use the same controllers and most controllers use the same buttons when determining what each button does. The objectives are also easy to explain because these are stated at the beginning of each level and for this game it was just that they had to kill a certain person.
