Basic guide to making a feature worthy game.

Story, usually adds a lot to a game.

Traps, always good to make it that people have to either think about it after dying the first time or make it obvious but hard to get out.

Decoration, a good decor to a game is usually a good feel to the game, especially if it ties up to the theme of the game.

Puzzle, most featured games have at least one or 2 but they aren't required for a feature but it’s usually harder without them.

Good placement of objects, if you have random objects everywhere or there is no particular place to go games get either to hard or just annoying.

Power ups, most games have at least 1 or 2 different power ups, these make the game fun and exciting and help for puzzles.

Lastly multiple levels!! Self-explanatory.

You now have 70% of the knowledge to make a good game, the other 30% is your own design and own flavour to the game.
