DESCRIPTION:
This time I was much more prepared, I knew what was needed and how to approach the job, immediately defining the key points of the game; the difficulty of the levels, onboarding of the mechanics, as well as finding any bugs or problems in the levels, such as errors in calculating the moves needed to finish the levels, trying and retrying all the levels to find all the possible ways.
DESCRIPTION:
It was my first time as a QA tester, I was in charge of testing the game to find both bugs and possibly design problems, making reports using Google doc, in which I also tried to give possible solutions you problems I found during the playtests.
