Abstract

This work aims to extend the life of hypercasual endless smartphone games, which is one of the most significant problems facing hypercasual games. Almost half of apps available from app stores are mobile games and most are hypercasual games. Among hypercasual games, the most popular types are endless games, which have unique characteristics, including very short play sessions and minimalistic design. However, due to the short play sessions involved, most players stop playing endless games once their skills have reached a certain level or when they cannot improve their skills enough to reach the required goal. Most endless games do not have difficulty levels that can be manipulated by players, and their short play sessions only make this problem worse.
