Hi, I will play your game and make a video recording of it with microphone and upload it to Youtube.  I expect the same in return.  

My game https://simenhs.itch.io/hexatown (password: tester) is an incremental city builder and should take about 15-30 minutest to play. 

It's not an finished game but I want to get feedback early. 


post a link to your game if you're interested

Hello, I’d be interested my only problem is that I don’t have any social media accounts because of restrictions. But I’d be happy to playtest your game, give you honest feedback and a rating on here!

I would prefer a video, but no reason we can't use anything else than youtube to exchange videos. If you really cant record your play session that's fine to, some written feedback would also help. What's your game, I will give it a go. Can you watch youtube videos or do you want my recording on a different platform as well?

I can watch yt videos my main problem is that I can’t upload content, I can send you over a video of me playing your game but I just can’t upload stuff

Here’s my Game Page

I understand if you don’t want to because of my restrictions 

I played your game. Here is the recording: 

Something vent wrong with the voice recording, your game sound was recorded so load that it's kind of impossible the hear my voice in the video. Sorry about that. I haven't played a loot of text adventure games but I liked yours. It seemed really fleshed out, like you world is complete. I didn't like the music, just very load and repetitive, hard to concentrate on reading with it in the background. I also felt i didn't have enough infromation to take meaning full choices. Like I had no idea what the diffrence between the classes was when I had to pick one. Combat was also a bit dragged out, lots of hitting 1 on the keyboard an doing a little bitt of damage without any fear of death because I was much stronger that the enemies and I could always drink some potions if my hp gets low. Othervise, I think the game feelt pretty polished and nice to play, I could tell you've put a loot of hours into making it. God look going forward. 

I’ll definitely work on that and thanks for the advice, I’m having trouble with recording right, so give me till Monday to send the video over. Sorry for the inconvenience 

That's fine, no hurry

Okay so I recorded the game, overall it's really good and I like it. I think it can go further with more time beyond castles into like empires and stuff kinda like factorio if you've played that game. The upgrades do get a little costly especially with the stone I had trouble getting enough with the first stages and stuff. Also a little tutorial on your end goal would be nice just in case people don't read descriptions along with a menu screen. Other than that good game overall and I have given you a rating to push your game out there hopefully. I had troubles on my end via recording as I'm on a chromebook so I wasn't able to get the audio recorded.

Hello, I am also interested. I am willing to send the video over this platform. I also can't post on YouTube.  I gave you a 5 star rate, and will send the video later today.

Here is my game page: https://codergenius72.itch.io/dualspace

Thank you, that's greate! Here is my video of your game 

I really enjoyed this. I liked how the whole world was a big puzzle, not one puzzle for each room. I felt like I was missing a few key pices of information, like how to unlock the ice cubes and I never understud how the gards really worked. It was also quit frustrating that I could put the pussles in a unsolvable state when pushing blocks into corners. Pressing "T" to reasett all progress should come with a warning of some kind and be explained in the tutorial bit of the game. The world was also a bit to big maybe, i feelt a bit lost, and think I skipped past a loot of puzzles at some when i went to the "II" room. And I didn't really understand that it was a cutsceene in the beginning, when I didn't know what the game was about, thought I did somthing and that there allways were gone be a loot of screenshake. And the text was a bit small on my monitor. But overall, I really enjoyed this. Good look going forward

I played and enjoyed your game. The game was fun! I was struggling through it at first. I would want a tutorial for exploring and upgrading. I also did not read the wasd text at first. Movement should also work with arrow keys. The zoom was also uncontrollable. Because of the lack of a tutorial, I had to sit AFK for ~70 seconds to get some new resources I did it around ~3 minutes, preparing for stone, and ~15 min, preparing for iron. I also didn't like that the price doubled every building. 

Around ~10 minutes I realized that resources can come in chunks, giving large bonuses. I found a large chunk of wood, then stone. However, I can't find more than one iron in a area. I kept searching until the price was too expensive. I don't know if iron spawns differently, or I didn't go far out enough. Also saw no gold mines except where you start. 

I reached ~20k wood and stone and 1k iron in 23 minutes. Overall, nice game.

The video will come out tommorow due to technical issues.

I don't have a game I am working on right now, but I would still be interested in playtesting your game.
