Many slope game players are familiar with the phrase “one more run.” The reason is simple: each attempt is short, and starting again usually takes very little time. After losing, players often feel that they understand what went wrong and believe they can avoid the same mistake next time. If they were close to achieving a new high score, the motivation becomes even stronger. One attempt turns into another, and another, because there is always the possibility that the next run will be the successful one. This quick cycle of failure, learning, and retrying is a major part of the game's appeal.
