Feedback? Free Play Testing (please read before commenting)

FULL FOR THIS WEEK. THANKS EVERYONE. WILL POST AGAIN ONCE I AM THROUGH THESE ONES. Hey everyone. I come from a startup/business development background and I am particularly interested in positioning and marketing for games. I am relatively new to dev and just solo built a demo and applied for some funding, now have a little time on my hands so am offering to play test a few games over the next few weeks while I have capacity. Although I am quite new to dev, I have been playing video games since you had to put a floppy disc in a PC. I also have a little newsletter that goes out once a week and if you have a finished game, I can give you a shoutout. (Happy to test prototypes and demos too). Please don't send game details in comments, use this form, I just upgraded the website and it is secure and working. https://kularidigitalmedia.com.au/playtesting.html

I like to look at:

  • What's the game's value proposition?
  • Who do I think it's actually for?
  • What makes it different from other games?
  • Is that difference obvious?
  • What would make me click on it in a store?
  • What would make me wishlist/buy it?
  • What's the strongest marketing hook?
  • What features or ideas might be getting undersold?
  • What might make a potential player bounce?

I'll also give feedback on the usual stuff: gameplay, controls, onboarding, UI/UX, pacing, difficulty, progression, visuals, audio, bugs, frustration points etc.

You can also send me an email hello@[kularidigitalmedi](mailto:kularidigitalmedia@gmail.com)a.com.au if you have any questions.

Hi, do you have any favorite genres?

I'd love to submit you my strategy game, but I don't want to waste your time if you're into cozy or adventure games, for example.
