Brave Frontier is a free mobile game that is a role playing game based on a summoner. You explore within the game in this world called Grand Gaia, where there's many ancient fantasy gods. You'll have these units, who will help you along the way There are also, six different types of elements including fire, water, earth, thunder, light, and dark. When choosing what level you want to pick, you also have a friend help you along the way. Each unit will have a leader skill which will boost up your character. There are also items, events, arenas, spheres, and etc. The main objective of the game is that you must save Grand Gaia from the corruption and darkness that lurks there. The addicting aspect of the game is the combat, because you have to tap on the screen to make the units attack the monsters. Another thing that makes the game addicting is the amount of grinding you do from facing Metal Kings. This gives you more experience to max out your character. A great method for this to playtest is feedback forms because it will show what they like about it or dislike. Also, it shows what should be added into the game to improve it, like adding new units or realms. All of that depends on the questions you made up for your game. Another way of doing the feedback form is to make a poll and vote for instance, of what your favorite unit is in the game. With having feedback forms, the game designers will know what players like and change aspects of the game or make an update since its a mobile game.

The Visual Looks of Playtesting An Addictive Role Playing App Game!!!
When your developing a game, you need to get feedback in order to make your game better. An easy way to get feedback is by letting people playtest your game. You simply just stop at any point of the development of your game and leave your game unfinished, similar to a prototype. Show your prototype to anyone including your friends, family, or co workers to test out your game. This will give you helpful feedback and comments that will help you improve your game. You also target players who have the same interest depending on the type of game you are developing.You'll sometimes have to repeat the playtest over and over again with new players. Your game will lengthen due to the suggestions and revisions that you make to the game. The one thing you want to be careful of your playtesters is, not letting them tell anyone about your product until its released. Don't worry about that because 99.99% won't steal your ideas due to the nondisclosure agreement ( NDA). The six methods for playtesting is one being one-on-one testing where you watch over players by taking notes or questions. Group testing is a second method where you get a group of people to play your game. Feedback forms is a third method that gives players a standard list of questions about your game. An interview is a fourth method where you give an in-depth oral interview. An open discussion is a fifth method where you guide players on conversations or questions. Lastly, data hooks is the sixth method where you analyze players on how they are progressing in your game and gathering data by writing down notes. The game I'm going to use to explain playtesting is "Brave Frontier."
