• The newly developed 'Arabic Mobile Game Heuristics' (AGH) outperformed both Nielsen’s Updated Heuristics and standard Game Usability Principles by identifying significantly more usability issues and more severe, catastrophic problems in Arabic mobile games.
• In comparative testing on two Arabic mobile games, the AGH framework identified 13 and 12 usability issues respectively, compared to only 6 and 5 issues detected by Nielsen’s Updated Heuristics.
• The AGH framework demonstrated a 23.7% to 28.3% higher effectiveness in detecting usability issues compared to general Game Usability Principles.
