Why Parable of the Polygons works

if you guys have not already please take a look at the site here

 

When i was doing my work for Class one of the Games that Jane had chosen for us to review was Parable of the polygons. The first time i played it was a ordinary person playing a puzzle game. In the end the game has a message  about how biased is created and how we must demand diversity. Although the game was short it had a lot of meaning, and it actually sticks. this isn’t unusual, a lot of games have meaning that gets you think for a while but once your off doing another task it disappears, but this game didn’t do that, why?

I decided to play the game a second time, and i realized this game works so well is because the author didn’t hide his words and you need to carefully analyze them, his words are exactly what they mean, its easier to quote words rather than ideas. I know a lot of people feel like this is obvious but it isn’t that simple. most people like to put small riddles that you put together to get an answer for what the author is asking, but let me ask you, what was the answer to the last riddle you’ve done.It took you a few seconds to think did it not? What the author did here is that he planted the ideas in your head without telling you what he means ( in till the very end)
