User Experience Evaluation of 2D Side-Scrolling Game Developed Using Overlap2D Game Editor and LibGDX Game Engine

A side-scroller is a type of game where a side-view camera angle is used for action viewing. This paper discusses the implementation of a typical simple side-scrolling game through integration of a presentation layer created in a Overlap2D editor and a LibGDX game logic layer in terms of employing existing algorithms for collision detection and player movement. The implemented game retains most of the main features of modern side-scrolling mobile video games such as different enemies with different shooting objects, different types of obstacles that a player must avoid, additional player features purchases and their consumption, multiple levels, and player movement through the level. Although games developed using LibGDX engine can be exported to multiple platforms, the game that was developed for the purpose of this paper is deployed on a mobile platform. With an objective to explore various aspects of user experience with respect to the introduced game, an empirical study was carried out. The analysis of collected data revealed pros and cons of the developed game as well as directions for its improvement.
