Writing Judging Criteria Before You Score Anything
A rubric written after the judging is a justification, not a method. Here is how to fix criteria, weights and evidence rules in advance so that anyone can check your consistency.
Testing Solvability Without Publishing the Solution
A solvability criterion is only meaningful if it can be assessed from what the game itself tells the player. Here is how to check that without becoming a walkthrough site.
Reading a Difficulty Curve From Outside the Game
You can assess whether a puzzle game escalates and whether failure is legible without finishing it. The evidence is in the menu, the tutorial, the level list and the hint economy.
Accessibility Checks a Small Puzzle Game Can Actually Pass
Accessibility is often treated as a budget problem. Most of the checks that matter for a puzzle game cost almost nothing, and they are all observable from the options menu.
Judging Presentation Without Penalising Scale
A presentation criterion quietly rewards budget unless it is written carefully. The test is whether the visual choices serve the puzzle, not whether they cost a lot to produce.
