Summary
Puzzle games provide the player with moments or hours of strategy and problem solving. You’ll need to provide a game that combines high-quality presentation with well-thought-out game mechanics and interaction. Players can be very opinionated about puzzle games, but the individuals who enjoy puzzle games are often also very loyal.
Casual games are not a genre but a kind of game that is designed to appeal to a particular market: the casual player. These players want an experience they can get into and out of quickly, that is easy to learn and easy to control, and that doesn’t require a large commitment of either time or money. These games are usually found on mobile devices and don’t have to cost a lot to develop.
