Beta Playtest Evaluation Rubric

Remember: this is the second time (and unfortunately the last time) you test the game. Try to remember what you experience from last week and focus on testing those features.

Specific: no need to be polished, occasional crashing is ok, rough art/audio is ok.

 

The following are suggested criteria to consider when evaluating the presentations. Since most of the criteria are subjective, it is reasonable for you to apply your own rules (please do share yours if you care). You are only responsible for entering a number for each category.
