ABSTRACT: Mobile
games are gaining in popularity among students, although the factors driving
engagement remain poorly understood. This study, conducted among 378 students
studying for a Bachelor’s degree in Computer and Digital Sciences at the Université
Virtuelle de Côte d’Ivoire, explores the influence of game assets and colours
on player engagement. Using an online questionnaire, the study identified
students’ gaming preferences and their perception of colours. The results show
that the key elements most favoured by students are graphics, sound design, the
game system, narrative, interactivity and accessibility. What’s more, colour
plays a decisive role in their preferences and commitment to educational mobile
games.
