Guideline Help players identify rhythm in their movements. Details Movement is rhythmic: the head bopping when dancing, footsteps when walking, even when playing tennis there is a rhythm to the arm swinging back and subsequent follow-through. Movement can be rhythmic on an individual action level (tennis swing), but also the overall movement experience often follows a rhythm of high and low-intensity actions. Movement becomes easier with a beat, so support players in identifying a rhythm to their movements. Example
Strategies
DOs and DON'Ts DO see movement in games not just as as a string of independent actions, but as a sequence of rhythmic actions that, with a beat, get easier. DON'T forget that engaging competitive gameplay can emerge when allowing players to try to throw their opponents off their beat. |
