What to look for in a store screenshot when choosing a mobile game?

Check whether the real playing field, the player's move and the target can be understood in the first image. A beautiful cover image alone does not describe the gameplay. If the same mechanics are seen in other screenshots, you can establish expectations more clearly.

Short answer

Check whether the real playing field, the player's move and the target can be understood in the first image. A beautiful cover image alone does not describe the gameplay. If the same mechanics are seen in other screenshots, you can establish expectations more clearly.

How do you try it in the game?

Adapt the steps below to your board layout. Predict the result before each move, then compare your prediction with what happens after the move.

  • Identify the actual game board.
  • Describe the player's movement.
  • Examine whether the target is consistent with other images.

Mistake to avoid

Don't consider the icon or tagline alone as evidence of actual gameplay.
