Second Playtest notes:
- While playtesting players were communicating about their special powers - this could be indicated with words or labels unless there is a proper tutorial room
- Players were confused with their goal.
- Order of operations of players on how to solve each puzzle
- Stage the obstacles in order to teach the players their special abilities
- Frog should be fixed
- Washer was visually more attractive than boxes - should reverse the visual hierarchies
- Bottles are a bit ambiguous - since it is an interactable object, players thought it is valuable to the gameplay
- Put the wall collider bit up
- In terms of the progress of the level design - increase the complexity while teaching more
- Give some task to do when one player is solving the puzzle
- The story is dark but visual is too light(enemy does not look threatening) so add the emotion on the scene with lights and sounds.
