Delivered at Casual Connect USA 2015

Using examples from the development of Halfbrick's Bears vs. Art, this talk will explore the tension between the logic driven and the chance-based, randomized elements in puzzle design. We found these elements influenced a player's perception of difficulty, critical decision-making, and their experience of frustration and achievement. Come and hear how to create more compelling puzzles by balancing logic and chance effectively.
