🎲 What does it really mean when they say 'A Casual Game'? Casual games are often seen as the 'unserious' option in the gaming world, but some "casual" games have more revenue than a lot of strategy and first person shooter games! So what does it really mean when we use this term? Essentially, a casual game is one that's designed to be accessible for a wide audience - it doesn't require extensive knowledge or experience to play. This can range from puzzle games to "Match 3" like "Candy Crush" and everything in between! Is your game "Casual", or is it aiming at a very specific target audience? #CasualGaming #VideoGames #FunAndAccessible #GamingCommunity #JoinTheConversation
