Level (Concept in gaming or design)

In gaming or design, a “level” refers to a specific stage or area within a game that offers distinct objectives, challenges, and environments. It structures the gameplay into manageable segments, guiding players through progression, story, or learning curves. Levels often increase in difficulty to test skills and keep engagement. They can range from simple introductory stages to complex, multi-part scenarios. In design, levels are created to balance challenge and reward, ensuring players are motivated and focused as they advance, making the overall experience more immersive and structured.
