Hey! I am Shiroze and this channel is all about playtests! This means, that the videos are made with the developer in mind and will be about me playing the game and giving feedback. If you like that kind of stuff, feel free to stick around.
Want your game tested? Check out my Ko-Fi link :)
If you don't have money to spare, feel free to contact me anyway, though there is no guarantee, that I will play your game.

Roman Triumph: Survival City Builder - Playtest
This looks cool
Thanks for your video, it was great to watch you play.
Reminds me of the Dark Quest series
Do i hear a german accent here?
Shhht! Don't let anyone know! :D I might be good at covering that up I am trying my best xD
You've highlighted a lot of stuff we need to work on in a really succinct way. Thanks for spending the time to play and communicate your thoughts.
Happy to hear it helped you :)
Hi, I just found the video! Thanks so much for giving the game a try and providing a lot of feedback. You definitely pointed at some things that will need addressing. Also - sorry for the bad bow RNG :)
Glad to see it was helpful to you :)
Thanks a lot for the detailed Feedback
Hiya! Thank you for trying out the playtest. I learned a lot from watching you play and will work on fixing the issues. I really appreciated how you pointed out when things felt off-it’s super helpful! Thanks again!
Happy to hear it helped you :)
I am enjoying your channel. Your game design recommendations are very well thought out. I can understand your frustration about reading as I too am a really slow reader. Keep up the fantastic work.
Thank you very much :) Yeah we slow readers don't have it easy :P One can only hope that it will get better and people look more into accessibility.
Thanks for sharing feedback!
Hey, dev here. It's always great to see a new player's first run, your's was very funny. Your comments about visibility stuff are also very helpful, thanks!
Great to hear it was helpful :)
have you understood how to end jorney after you kill first boss?
I don't think I have reached a boss :)
Heyoo! Thank you so much for testing the game! 🫶 We released v0.0.0.5 last week which had a lot of improvements, including better combat feedback and a few more upgrades. I recommend trying "New Game" instead of "Playtest Level" which contains the game's actual levels and cinematics. The playtest level is intended for quick testing and doesn't have much of the game's content. We're currently working on the first boss fight, adding a bunch more upgrades, and creating the meta progression economy 🫡
Sounds good. Since I applied for the playtest I thought that would be the main focus and, sadly, totally forgot about this option.
@@PlayfulPlaytests No worries!! I should've definitely clarified that 😅 Most people prefer playing the main game instead so I'll probably remove it in the next update and keep it internal hahaha
Hi ! I don't know why this game is not added to the "videos" of your channel but that was a nice playtest ! You should stick with city builders, it's always nice to see (at least for me). Keep it up ! :)
Hey, thank you for your kind words :) The video is not in there (yet) because it is still marked as unlisted, since I release those videos 1 per day. That way I don't spam upload the few people that chose to subscribe :P
goood stuffffff
I tried the game as a friend of mine is working on it and found the same problems, though you seem to get a better rate of fire and movement than I got. I have past on your video and I hope they will help fix some of the suggestions you have put out. Keep up the game reviewing.
That's very kind of you, thanks :) I also hope, that they find it helpful albeit quite short.
thank you, this is a very useful review
I am the creator of Leaf Town. I'm glad you recorded a gameplay video, and I hope you enjoyed it. You are welcome to make the video public
Yes, it was an interesting concept :) Thank you, I will do so probably next week, since I have a few more videos lined up currently.
oh wow, youtube just recommended me this, great work and keep it up!
Thank you :)
Thank you for playing our game 🙂
Thank you for playtesting our game! We are so glad you liked it and we have taken notes on your feedback. This was really great for us and we learned so much. Thank you thank you thank you!
I am glad to hear it helped you guys :)
@@PlayfulPlaytests You speak out your thoughts with a lot of detail. For us indie devs who cant afford to hire playtesters, we usually receive written feedback or videos without any commentary from open playtests. So this is gold for us. I hope you don't mind but I have recommended you to some other indie devs. If that's not ok, do let me know.
@@hiddencheststudios That is totally fine, thank you :)
Hey, Thank you so much for trying out the Playtest and giving me so much valuable feedback! Watched through the video and took a lot of notes :) Sinc the game is still far from Release, a lot will change and be improved ^^
It is great to hear, that this was able help you :)
Hey, thank you so much for playing! You are correct that the playtest is early, it released yesterday :) your feedback is incredibly valuable especially for balancing those first few rounds. The skeletons might be a little too much too early 😬 but there is a ranged weapon you get from the altar after lighting both shrines that should make short work of them! I’m planning on adding a short and explicit tutorial for the first update that will explain some of these concepts.
Oooooh okay.Yeah some basic info about how stuff works might be good, since I had no idea what those shrines do :D
Приятный голос.
Hi Playful Playtests, we really appreciated your feedback, we realized we definitively need to improve when it comes to the tutorial and a bunch of other UX/UI related stuff. Sorry for the game not being in a great state as of know, we'll work on it!
Don't worry about it. Games go through big changes during development and I don't think any game started out perfect. Especially UX things are hard to find as the developer, since you already know everything. :)
Hey thank you so much for your input! This has been a super valuable session to watch. If it's okay with you, I'd like to email you later to ask a few more questions.
Sure, no problem :)
Thank you so much for recording your first playthrough! Your commentary was extremely valuable to simplifying and making our game more intuitive. Stay tuned as we implement some of your recommendations.
Which key is used to dash
I think it was Shift or Space next to the one the game tells you.
I'm the dev of Mechanines TD and ty for the video! Your feedback will help us a lot! I hope you had fun! :)
Very happy that it helped you guys :)
Thanks for your fantastic and genuine playtest! The valuable tips you gave us will help improve the game. Thank you very much!
Happy to hear that, thank you :)
This game looks fun has potential. Nice video. ❤
I totally agree!
Looks like the description is from some other game ;). Very good feedback though, many useful things mentioned!
Aaaaah, you are right! Totally missed that while doing the description. Thanks for ponting that out. :)
Changing the controller type from mouse and keyboard to controller actually make me confused too XD
This game actually looks brilliant! If you add a touch of horror its bound to be a viral hit!
Great idea!
I'm the dev, thanks so much for the video, it really helps a lot! :) (for the room without any roof, you need to cut the hay growing in it actually, it needs to be cleared off of any vegetation or stone, yes I'll mention it or add a visual feedback to it...). And really honored to be your first video!
Oooooh okay! I mean I could have noticed that, since I did try to clear stuff beforehand... I guess I just overlooked the hay. :D But yes, some kind of feedback for the player what's missing still would be really helpful :)
I'm very excited for this game.
