| Summary: | Functional size measurement has been widely used as the effort prediction method for software project over the past decades. Despite the success in predicting the cost, time requirement, and staff resources utilizing the amount of functionality delivered by a system, the method still needs to be improved further especially in dealing with mobile application characteristics. In the domain of mobile game application, the functional features can be challenging to identify wholly due to various application platforms, diversity of game genre, and complex game scenario. This paper presents a literature review concerning the functional requirements of the mobile game. The review includes the process of defining the research question, search strategy, and selection of study. Fifty-three articles were found in the academic libraries, and only 30 relevant studies were selected for the review. This literature review aims to provide researchers and practitioners in software measurement and gaming technology with an overview of common functional characteristics in the mobile game, which can be integrated into the functional size measurement method. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
