Abstract
From the era of feature phone to the current smart phone which bloomed Social Network Games(SNGs), mobile games have held the top position as killer contents of mobile market. Mobile game has many constraints such as specification of device, network status, and external environment. Based on common perspective of game research, these factors have negative influences on flow of user. Even with these opinions, most mobile gamers have felt satisfaction. To explain this phenomenon, our research focuses on the constraints. Referring to theoretical concepts, we attempt to clarify the relationship between game features and flow through survey methodology. Our finding shows that the constraints have a positive effect on flow even though it disaccords with previous studies. Therefore, we argue that users of mobile game have sense of satisfaction not a cognitive overload as discomforts.
