A platform game provides feedback at the end of every level, such as time taken per level, coins collected, number of points scored, and relative performance compared to other players, by means of a leader board. What kind of players would be motivated to play such a game?

Answer:

Players motivated by mastery

Step-by-step explanation:

Killer type players may be motivated by competition (defeat opponents), mastery (dominate weaker players), or social interaction (taunt other players).

Based on the question, it seems that the person who would be motivated to play such a game would be a person with a Killer player type.

Killer player types are motivated by competing directly with other players, so they want to know how their performance compares to others. This is part of a group of player types conceptualized by Bartle, which includes achievers, socialites, and explorers – each with their own motivations.
