The Question

Hello there loyal Appspy readers! It’s another Monday and it is of course time for another question.

This week’s questions struck me as I was playing a game for review last week. The game had stars to collect during its levels, like so many puzzle games and time wasters on the App store do. It made me think of how I approach the stars in these games, and thought I’d ask you the same. I’m talking about games like Cut the Rope where the stars are actually on the stage themselves (although games like Angry Birds where the stars are tied to a score count as well).

How do games with bonus stars influence your gameplay?

Do you try and grab them all, perfecting each level before you move on? Do you ignore them entirely? Do you plan on coming back to collect them after you’ve completed every level? Do you approach it any other way?

Seeing that almost every second game contains this mechanic, I wonder about the plan of attack. I look forward to your responses, and I’ll let you know what I think on Friday. Enjoy the rest of your week, and happy gaming!
