Abstract:
Excessive screen time and dopamine-driven digital applications have been linked to reduced attention spans and diminished cognitive well-being. This paper presents GAMS, a mobile application designed as a collection of logicbased mini-games, aimed at promoting mindful and purposeful engagement. Unlike conventional mobile games that rely on addictive mechanics, GAMS incorporates limited gameplay sessions and achievement-based progression to foster a sense of accomplishment without encouraging prolonged use. Developed using Kotlin and a modular software architecture, the platform ensures scalability, maintainability, and ease of integration for additional games. This research explores the intersection of ethical software engineering, digital well-being, and cognitive stimulation, demonstrating how thoughtfully designed applications can contribute to healthier technology habits while maintaining user engagement.
