GAD U4L2 - Game Prototype Production 2

What is this text an example of?

“Catch the Clown is a little action game. In this game, a clown moves around in a playing field. The goal of the player is to catch the clown by clicking with the mouse on him. If the player progresses through the game, the clown starts moving faster and it becomes more difficult to catch him. For each catch the score is raised and the goal is to get the highest possible score. Expected playing time is just a few minutes.”
