Hey everyone, I went and did some beta testing with the kids today and it went very well. I got through about 8 kids today and there were very few complaints. The basic rundown:
Boys liked it way more than girls, of course. Normal difficulty is in fact way too hard for them. Everyone ran it on easy and even then some kids struggled. Girls cared more about the questions than the boys did. One boy even blazed through the levels without even caring if he was right or not. They LOVED the different types of enemies and the rabbit character. The number one complaint I recieved was that it was too hard. Their suggestions were usually to slow the enemies down or make the rabbit faster. A combination of the two would probably be ideal. There was one kid who was upset because he thought he died when he shouldn't have. Making the bounding boxes smaller would help this problem and perhaps make the game a bit easier as well. Finally, I asked them to fill out a short questionnaire afterwards and here's a brief rundown: Likes: Math questions - half the kids put this (the girls perhaps?) The animals Dislikes: the speed of the foxes - 6 of 8 kids Speed of the rabbit too slow Hardest Part: Foxes and/or cars, similar to the above I asked them if they thought the game was too easy, too hard, or just right and it was a 50/50 split between too hard and just right. That's it mostly. I'll be going back on Thursday to try and get the rest of the class done.
