Don’t help your playtester at all or otherwise interfere with what they do.
Watch your playtesters play. Notice what they do and listen to what they say.
Take lots of notes about what you see and hear while they’re playing
Allow them to skip Level 1 - Doesn't have optimal way yet to restart the player back to the current level they in]]> 2022-10-03 23:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/1028012_6/iqzsp73o1vz9t4gz/wish/2324686990 What are your playtest questions? 1028012_6 https://padlet.com/1028012_6/iqzsp73o1vz9t4gz/wish/2324686991 When you’re talking to your playtester after they’ve played, resist the urge to explain anything.

- Players knew what to do without any explanation
- It took a few tries for players to complete the levels
- More bugs were found, "Moonwalk" when pressing a and d, could walk on spikes after they fell
- Make the mushroom pickups more obvious
- Players still went left even though there was a danger sign

- The falling spikes were cool and interesting
- The mushroom pickups were not that noticeable, at first they didn't realise the timer reset
- The player speed was good 
-  Would like to reset with space bar instead of clicking the button
- The jumping mechanic isn't responsive enough
-  The camera zoom in the second level was easier to play with compared to the first one
- Adding a Heart system- Give the player 3 try - If fail then restart the whole progress]]> 2022-10-03 23:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/1028012_6/iqzsp73o1vz9t4gz/wish/2324687001 WALKTHROUGH 1028012_6 https://padlet.com/1028012_6/iqzsp73o1vz9t4gz/wish/2324687002 Talk us through the above]]> 2022-10-03 23:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/1028012_6/iqzsp73o1vz9t4gz/wish/2324687002 WALKTHROUGH 1028012_6 https://padlet.com/1028012_6/iqzsp73o1vz9t4gz/wish/2324687003 Don't forget to talk us through your AMPLIFY, FIX, REMOVE

Amplify:
- Falling Traps
- Add more levels

Fix:
- Having more responsive jump
- Wall bugs - Got stuck/hinder player movement
- (Maybe) Hold A then D key down together = Moonwalk.

Remove:
- Nothing?]]> 2022-10-03 23:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/1028012_6/iqzsp73o1vz9t4gz/wish/2324687003
