RE: [query] Mobile game level design

I cant speak from development experience, but from what I have seen of
people actually using mobile games, that's pretty much correct. Another
bonus is some kind of save (along the lines of last level achieved), so
a game can quickly be shut off and resumed.

Subject: [m_game-dev] [query] Mobile game level design


Hi,

I am curious about level design for mobile games.  I am guessing that
the
average phone, PDA or gameboy gamer is using their device while in
transit
or between doing other tasks.  With this in mind I am assuming that
designing levels in the same manner as arcade games is appropriate:
small to
medium level sizes, high impact puzzle/action content every 5 minutes or
so,
numeruos places to save position, medium number of levels.

Is this correct, or am I way off track?

A little off topic: Does anyone have experience with board game
conversions
to mobile devices?


Regards,
Ty
