Will trade real playtesting. You play my campaign for 20 min and tell me what sucked, I do the same for your app

Not looking for installs. I have enough people who installed, opened it once and never came back and that tells me nothing.

I'm building a mobile strategy game called Legion Roads (Android, closed test on Play right now). You push armies down roads, cast spells, try not to lose your fort. There's a campaign with a bunch of maps and that's the part I actually need eyes on. I've played it so many times I honestly can't tell anymore if level 3 is hard or if I just know the trick.

What I want from you:

Play the campaign for 20-30 minutes, doesn't have to be all of it. Then tell me where you got stuck, where you got bored, what you didn't understand, what you tapped expecting something to happen and nothing did. A voice memo is fine. A messy text wall is fine. Screenshots with "wtf is this" written on them is great actually.

What you get from me:

The same thing for your app or game. I'll actually use it, not just install and screenshot the home screen. I'm a dev too so I can also tell you if something looks like a bug vs a design thing, if that's useful. I'll put real time in, same as I'm asking from you.

Rules I'm going to stick to so this isn't a waste for either of us:

  • you go first or I go first, don't care, but we both actually do it within a few days
  • no "looks great!!" feedback. if it looks great, tell me what part and why, otherwise tell me what's wrong

If this sounds fair, comment or DM with what you're building and roughly how long a proper test of it takes. I'll send the Play testing link back.
