The only sort of progression is the fact that the screen gets darker as the player loses health which makes it harder to see the road.  Which is very minimal, and some players may not even get to this stage as the lowering health mechanic is not substantial enough

Having hints in the loading screen will allow the player to understand the game abit better before they actually start playing.
The Color coding on the obstacles were also not very good as they were mostly white which did not give the user signals that O3 was bad and the O2 was good, the oil can was also abit misleading but served its purpose.

The game had no progression which meant once the player got the hang of the game, he could continue the game without having any drawbacks or any additional challenge, more typical endless runner games add a new challenge which is the speed progressively gets higher that which will post more of a challenge to the player as the game goes on.

Even at the start the player was a bit too slow and was very easy to dodge the obstacles hence making it slightly faster will make it slightly more challenging even at the start.]]> 2023-02-08 13:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2473416940 2102688e1 https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2473540736 2023-02-08 14:44:03 UTC https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2473540736 2102506i1 https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2473673925 Instructions did not help the user that much as they still did not really understand the objective of the game when they started playing.

The overall flow of the game is pretty slow paced compared to other endless runner games in the market. The progression throughout the game was also mundane and insufficient, resulting in the play testers getting used to it very fast and surviving long without having much of a challenge. Another factor was the health-bar and the depleting of it was too slow to pose a challenge to users making the game too easy and boring.]]> 2023-02-08 16:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2473775702 2100448f https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2473781296 "So I need to collect the coins?" ,"What are the cones for?" The UI for the game objects such as the coins, cones (pickup points), and the power-ups were difficult to understand quickly by the users, making the game more confusing. UI for the buttons such as the movement buttons was also difficult for the users to use as they had to press it multiple times.]]> 2023-02-08 17:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2473781296 2100448f https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2473788363 Firstly, improving on the users understanding of the game objectives, we can include a instruction page with the icons of the in-game objects and explain them so that the users can visually understand which is what. Apart from this, certain UI adjustments can be made such as moving and changing color of passenger count text so it is easier to locate for players.

Secondly, to improve upon the overall progression and flow of the game, we can make the health-bar deplete slightly faster, or make the health-bar deplete faster progressively as the game goes on to make it more difficult and less repetitive. We can also progressively increase the speed of the car to make the game progress in difficulty, ensuring that it does not become repetitive and boring.]]> 2023-02-08 17:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2473788363 2100340e1 https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2473806185 The Choosing of the car button was broken and could not actively register the clicks, it felt as though there was something blocking the button. 
The placements of the car movement buttons were placed in a bad position which users did not like, hence they could not really understand how to move the car. For example, one of them tried to swipe the car left and right which are typically found in such games.
The instruction page was also poorly managed, and thus it was out of place when it was shown.

For example, we could change the o2 and o3 to be more different since they look too similar to each other, making it easy for the user to confuse them.). 

Another Improvement would be making the instuctions menu have more visual cues for the player so that they would understand what they would need to look out for when they are playing the game since they currently don't know what they need to avoid/pick up as they do not know if it is good or bad.]]> 2023-02-08 19:43:14 UTC https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2474022947 2102506i1 https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2474094191 Users were somewhat dissappointed with the lack of progression in the game, as it didn't leave much of a reason for the player to keep playing the game as there is no content outside of the main game.

The users also found themselves confused when having to first start playing the game as the instructions are rather vague and don't fully tell the users what to do when they play the game. This usually ends up with the user not knowing what the powerups and items do and lose the game faster than they should]]> 2023-02-08 20:45:33 UTC https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2474094191 2102688e1 https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2474272295 Instructions were quite helpful to the player to understanding what is good and bad while playing the game, only comment was to possibly make the icons more directly associated with what the instructions page said

The game also lacked progression which was crucial to the replayability of the game, having the car move at slow speeds and not gain speed overtime allowed the player to get used to the game easily and allowed them to play essentially forever. Another issue that was given that the car was moving at a very slow pace which resulted in the game being too easy, it was also highlighted that one of the player testers wanted a button to make the car accelerate as it was too slow.

The instructions given were also relatively vague which meant the players may not understand what the instructions meant , this meant that potentially in game, the players may not understand the assets in the game, and not play the game according to the objective.]]> 2023-02-09 08:46:42 UTC https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2474682627 2100304a1 https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2474707346 All the play tester said that the game was pretty stagnant and it lacked one important part that was progression most of them felt that there wasnt any progression.

Even with the provided instruction page at the beginning, users still struggled with understand all the different obstacles and the main objective. Apart from this, our point system is calculated through the picking up and dropping off of passengers. Players were confused with this concept too as there were coins too, making the main objective of scoring points complicated and vague.

Secondly, play testers also stated that the UI and design of certain game aspects were difficult to understand/use. "What are the cones for?" "I banged the person?" These show that the players are confused with some of the design aspects of the game.

Lastly, all 3 play testers can agree that the game lacked progression. "Can the game be faster?" The game lacked progression in the sense that the flow was very stagnant and repetitive, the car didn't progressively increase in speed nor did the health-bar decrease faster over time. This made the game too easy after the players got used to it, making it repetitive and boring.]]> 2023-02-09 12:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/2100304a1/62wtn0aiu6lxeok/wish/2474895992
