Effect of Balancing on the Game "NeonTank" on Player's Experience

Game balancing is a valuable asset to increase player enjoyment and engagement. In this study we look at the impact of balancing in a twin stick shooter game focusing on multiplayer balance, mechanics and player feedback. Psychological, behavioral and physiological metrics were used to analyze player experience. Data from the Game Experience Questionnaire went through statistical analysis, with the Shapiro-Wilk test confirming normality (p > 0.05). The findings underscore the importance of balancing for fair, engaging, and skill-driven gameplay, emphasizing player feedback’s role in fostering satisfaction and inclusivity.
