  • Abstract
    For the game to be successful and for a good user experience, game usability and its interface usability is very important. Users now have a great variety of mobile game applications but their usability is not guaranteed. Among many other game applications, android casual game applications are very “in” these days. Bubble shooter concept based games are selected for this study, being the casual game applications. As there was no usability framework for these types of games, so usability questionnaire framework is developed to test their usability on android games audience. Secondly usability improvement framework is also suggested to improve these games and is also the outcome of the study along with the questionnaire framework.
