Peggle – Why is it fun?

You know how there are some games people can never agree on? One of those is Peggle. I really don’t like it.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s a beautifully crafted project and it’s about as polished as you get. The visuals are great, the interface super-simple, and audio just what was needed. It’s just that it feels like a game of luck to me, and that just isn’t fun. At least not for more than a few minutes.

Our creative director, Andy Crawshaw, has written a great article about why he loves Peggle and he also (probably correctly) suggests why people like me don’t get it. To find out more you’ll have to go and take a look.

Aspiring designers should definitely pay attention.
