We were back at ETC for our formal playtesting. 10 players have tried our game, and they felt it’s really engaging and fun to play!
And we also found some things we can improve.

- Extra animation could be distracting
- Our game is really intense, so players would prefer less elements on the screen.

- We added more ammo in the space, and kept them in the player’s vision
- We used clear signs as a visual feedback (e.g. you were hit )instead of complex animation
- We changed our mechanism, so players just need to focus on one health bar.
Here’s the refinded design:
