A few Gajah Mada University Computer Science study program colleger make a startup with brand “Creacle Studio Game”. Creacle itself, comes from words Creative Circle. This Studio born on October 2011. This game studio that centered in Yogyakarta have joined a few contests which have been held, on of them is Gemastik.

Gathot Fajar told that it can be seen from the amount of mobile user, Indonesia still being a consumtive market share. So, chance in mobile segment could be said is bigger than desktop and web market. But still, there are so many challenges in Indonesia’s market mobile, those which made Creacle Studio interested for focusing in mobile segment.

Until now, Creacle Studio have produced so many games, there are Green Guard, Pandawa Series (Arjuna Sang Pemanah, Bimsa Sang Penakluk, Nakula Sadewa in the Labyrinth), Save Komo, Virtual Pet, Mad Fish dan Alay the Kite Runner.

Positive Impact

Positive impact that we learn after playing this game is we can appreciate and understand deeper Indonesian’s culture. We could explore more contest and celebration that always held every August 17th to welcome Indonesia’s Independence Day. With so many sub-game inspirated from traditional game which is Indonesian’s culture also. So, we will not easy to forget traditional game although the year becomes more sophisticated. Indirectly, with playing this game, we have protected and conserved Indonesian’s traditional game to be still exist and not being extinct by the modern times.


Negative Impact

The negative impact when we play this game is making someone determine to play traditional game in a gadget. Without a desire to do it in a real life. They think that they have conserved traditional game with playing it on gadget, without an action in everyday life.


Conclusion

This “Kompilasi Game 17an” game is educative. It thought and told us what are the traditional game those have been Indonesian’s culture to celebrate Indonesian’s Independence Day every August 17th. So, we could remember and conserve those traditional games. But, we cannot just play it only in a gadget. We also have to play it in a real life. Outside that aspect, this game has being an approvement that Indonesia could grow and compete in gaming world, especially mobile gaming. This thing have been a startup line for Indonesia to appear in global world, compete with others developers in different country, and show it to the International world that Indonesia could.


Suggestion for The Game

Suggestion for the game is realted to the difficulty. When we play this game, the opened difficulty that we could play are Easy and Medium. For Hard and Insane difficulty cannot be played because we have to wait for the updates from the game developer. That thing make gamers dissappointed, waiting for the updates without a clear date when the updates released. And for the Ads-Banner that is really disturbing when we turned on our cellular data. 

Related to the difficulty again, sub-game divided into 4 different difficulty actually is not really affecting. Because, there are sub-games in Easy difficullty those have same hardship as the Normal or Hard difficulty. Make those sub-games looked like ungroup and do not fit to the difficulty class. 


Suggestion for Gamers

For the players of this games, expected not too addicted. Because, this game caused ‘greget’ to raise the highest score in every sub-game. So, that thing which make gamers try again and again. Watch for the playing time, and don’t play this game too long. Beside make our eyes troubled, it could make our socialization to other people reduced.
