I've been gathering a number of people lately to playtest Square Follow, but before I show the final results, I'll wait until I get more people next week when everybody's back from Easter holidays.
Anyway one feedback I received I thought I'm going to share here because I find it quite important.
It isn't related to the game itself, but it's more about user experience. The way the game works at the moment, is that when the player loses the game, they receive the 'Again?' message to encourage them to try again, and once they tap the screen the game restarts. As this happens the score resets back to zero so that the player can generate a new score again.
The problem with that is that in the heat of the moment, when players tap the screen repeatedly, they may miss out on the fact they lost and carry on tapping, resulting in restarting the game, without them seeing what their final score was. Although this was the case with only one of my playtesters, I can see it causing a lot of frustration if it happens to others, so I came up with a solution that should fix this.
I should add a restart button.
That way players will need to touch the screen in a specific place, in order to restart the game and reset the score, as opposed to click anywhere on stage to let it happen.
I will code this new feature in by this weekend.
