I will playtest and audit your game for design flaws and performance issues


About this gig
Your game is fun for 10 hours. Then players leave.
I help indie developers find WHY before it shows up in your Steam reviews.
I specialize in auditing simulation, management, and idle games for the exact problems that cause negative reviews and lost buyers:
Progression decay where the core loop goes stale and the endgame becomes AFK
Performance degradation memory leaks, FPS drops, and soft locks over long sessions
Shallow decision-making management systems that feel like checklists, not real choices
Meaningless consequences systems that have zero impact on gameplay
Opaque feedback when players can't understand why something went wrong
What you get:
A structured report covering gameplay flow, progression pacing, system depth, performance red flags, and specific actionable fixes not vague "make it more fun" advice.
I've analyzed real player feedback from games with 100k+ Steam reviews to build my audit framework. You get that same lens applied to your game.
No code required from your side. Just send me a playable build (Steam key, download link, or APK) and I'll handle the rest.

FAQ
What do I need to provide to get started?
A playable build — a Steam key, a download link, or an APK. If your game is on Steam, a Playtest key or Release State Override key works too. Let me know the platform and I'll confirm before we begin.
Do you need access to my source code or project files?
No. This is a black-box playtest — I only need a playable build. I evaluate the game from the player's perspective, not the code.
What does the report include?
A structured document covering progression pacing, system depth, performance issues, feedback loop clarity, and specific actionable fixes. The Basic package gives you a 1-page summary of top 3 issues. Standard and Premium include full 5–10 page reports with a prioritized fix roadmap.
How long does a typical playtest take?
It depends on the package. Basic is a 1-hour focused session. Standard is 3 hours. Premium is 5+ hours across multiple sessions. I'll communicate my progress and flag any blockers early.
Can you also look at my Steam reviews and identify patterns?
Yes — that's available as an add-on ($30). I'll pull and categorize your negative reviews to identify the top 3–5 recurring complaints and cross-reference them with my playtest findings.
What if I want to discuss the report after delivery?
Every package includes revisions (1–3 depending on tier). For a live walkthrough, add the 30-min video call add-on ($25) and we'll go through it together.
