Mupe & Winter Assembly• Mupe is an free open source client-server platform,
the client runs on mobile phones with Java midp
• Mupe Winter Assembly is a collection of four mini games to be played by people attending the Winter Assembly at the end of April in Tampere, Finland.
• UI was quite intuitive, easy to use after a few minutes
• Nice to be able to chat with other players
• Seeing the HiScores encouraged competition
• Good to be able to give feedback & share Mupe with others

Hi-Lo (1 Player)• Number guessing game: is the unknown number
higher or lower than the 5 numbers shown?
• Need to read the ‘Help’ section
• Easy to play, no special skills required
• Ok, but least exciting of all four games
• Could be a time killer, waiting for bus, etc...

Piper (2p)• Connect the next pipe piece to your pipe network, try
to block the other player’s progress
• Exciting, fast paced
• Time penalty when swapping an unsuitable pipe, and time limit for inaction lead to tension
• Don’t need to be facing the other player, can be played remotely without affecting the playing experience

Dung Beetle (2p)• Try to roll the balls of dung into your own chambers,
bite your opponent to momentarily stun him
• Exciting, fast paced
• Uncertainty when dung will come, leads to players chasing each other to stun each other
• Don’t need to be facing the other player, but it’s good fun to hear the other player’s reactions

Indian Poker (2p)• Each player sees the others player’s card and mood,
has to guess if his is better than the other player’s.
• Intuitive UI if you know poker terms
• Nice to express your mood with colours, three buttons to change mood: happy, neutral, angry
• Good fun to play when physically facing the other player, social
