As the level designer for this game, and with a daunting target of 25
levels,
I iterated through numerous levels quickly with a set of guidelines I
built up over time.
Guideline 1:
Maintain a steady difficulty curve, lowering the difficulty when new
mechanics are introduced.
Keep it generally low for the targeted causal audience, but keeping in
mind that the game
will be exhibited in a convention where attendees are likely gamers, add
some levels
with higher difficulty.
Guideline 2:
Level size has to be limited so players can easily tap the tiles
offerings are on. Design
within those constraints.
Guideline 3:
To keep levels from becoming too complex, use at most 2 primary
mechanics (God Powers) at a time.
