Feedback Elements in this game. (Hot Dog Bush)

The Interface of the game before you start.There are three button that you can choose which
are Play, Instructions, High Scores

When you playing this game,you will face many types of customer with different levels of patience.
The customers became angry by making noises and show their angry face for waiting their order so long.
So,as a player you must alert and take the action quickly.
This is one of the feedback when you cannot finish the order,at this moment player will feel very stressful.

If you do not pass the level, this feedback will display this page means that you  had failed
and need to restart this level.
This feedback makes the player feels sad. But, at the same time it makes them to
keep play until they pass this level.

If you pass the level, this feedback will display this page means that you  had succeed
and can start for the next  level.
After failed in a time, the player will feel so satisfied when they get passed in that level.
It's also makes the player to keep playing and try for the next challenger in the next level.

Both of these feedback create two different mood for the player.At the same time,the player will have two choices either to continue or exit the game.

What is Feedback???

Feedback is the information that is returned to the players by the game.Good feedback will helps a player to understand more about the game,thus affecting what the player will do next.

For this task, we have been ask by our lecturer,Dr Tan Wee Hoe to choose an online game and describe the feedback element of the game which have five (5) types:

• Reward

• Judgement

• Challenge

• Instructions

I have choose an online game which is Hot Dog Bush.This game is very interactive and quite challenging because we have to use our speed to finish each level.Moreover, this food serving game will add up their menu for each next level.The higher level you play,the more menu and vagaries of customer you must face.So, a good strategy and time management are required if you want to move on the next challenging level.
