Interestingly, despite not being a dog person, I found the first instance of a dog to be a cute, human-relatable inclusion. On later pages I found it frustrating and annoying.
I'm sure there's a fundamental UX principle or two at work there, but I won't pretend to truly know what they are.
- 794CD01 8y agoIt's called the Duck Hunt principle.
- ergothus 8y agoAny sources for me to read up on? Googling just gave me the BattleChess duck story, some unrelated UX examples using ducks, and info about how the duck hunt "gun" worked.
- jldugger 8y agoI've never heard the term before, but I do recall plenty of people playing duck hunt shooting at the dog when the game said they failed. Although, he kinda earned a laser zapping by laughing at your failures, right?
