Indie Game Playtesting and design reviews
Discover where players get confused, frustrated or disengaged before releasing your game.
I help indie developers evaluate demos, prototypes and early builds through structured playtesting, game design analysis and actionable feedback
“My goal is to help indie developers understand what a new player really experiences during the first minutes of their game.”
Find player experience problems before launch
When you have been developing a game for months, it becomes difficult to experience it like a new player. Important issues can easily go unnoticed:
Unclear onboarding
Players may learn the controls without understanding the main objective, core gameplay loop or next action.
Weak feedback
Visual and audio feedback may not clearly communicate actions, consequences, damage, rewards or important events.
Confusing objectives
Players may hesitate because they do not know where to go, what to do or why a task matters.
Frustrating difficulty
Challenges may feel unfair when the game does not provide enough information, preparation or response time.
Professional indie game playtesting helps identify these problems before they affect your Steam demo, public playtest or release.
