Game play takes into account how the game plays, if the rules are followed in the game play by the designer and how well the game plays out for a new player. Do problems with the code prevent the game play from proceeding, scoring, etc. How satisfied are new players with the game.
Game Craftsmanship looks at the game holistically; graphics, sprites, rooms and backgrounds, how well they work together and how they create the game play experience.
