Client’s Request
The client wanted to improve the early-game experience for new players
Our Approach
As always we started by diving into the game and experiencing it for ourselves, taking notes as we went along. We eventually discovered a few problems with the lack of tutorials in the game, and had some troubles getting through the early levels due to poor signposting and other issues. While the game was awesome, we knew how we could improve it and make it easier for new players to get into.
We provided feedback on how to improve various levels of the game, adding signposting elements and providing tutorial outlines that would help players familiarize themselves with the game mechanics and concept. We then provided feedback for over half the game and it’s levels, as well as suggested new supporting mechanics to further enhance the gameplay experience. We finally formatted everything into a neat design feedback document, and sent it to the client.
The client loved the feedback and left a 5-star review. As of 2024, the game now has around 3 million downloads on Steam according to Gamalytic and SteamDB.
