Hi everyone,

I am looking for playtesting help for a game that has been made as part of a university project. We need you to play this game in its entirety and answer a survey afterwards - but of course we wouldn't ask this of you without giving something back, so anyone who finishes the game and the survey will get links to 25+ game giveaways (the games are listed further down).

The game is a turn based strategy game, where you need to defeat an enemy on 5 different islands and battle them in a combat board game setting. The game can take a good while to complete (possibly 1+ hours) so we appreciate your patience and your help a lot.

The game has been created for a singular purpose in our semester report, and has been made in a month, so you should expect some jank here and there, but game breaking stuff should be very very rare. If you experience any major issues you can ALT-F4 out and start from the last checkpoint, but please keep this as a last resort, as it can screw up some things.

Here is how you can get playing:
=== CLOSED FOR ENTRIES===

I will try to assist with technical issues, but i can't say much about the game such as tips, since that would void the test - and i will try to answer as fast as i can.

The fabulous games you can get a chance to win (for every 10 participants on the survey i will add 1 more game to the list)

  • South Park: Stick of Truth

  • Steamworld Heist

  • ABZU

  • RYSE: Son of Rome

  • Killing Floor

  • Dangerous Golf

  • Shadowrun: Dragonfall

  • Shadowrun Returns

  • Retro City Rampage DX

  • The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing

  • The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing 2

  • Surgeon Simulator: Annivesary

  • Angvik

  • King Arthur's Gold

  • Hero of Many

  • Trigger Runners

  • Blade Symphony

  • Ohklos Omega

  • Table Top Racing: World Tour

  • CountDown

  • Leviathan Starblade

  • Rescue Your Chickens

  • The Lost Valley

  • Gunmetal Arcadia Zero

  • VR Escape the Space Station

  • VR Journey

  • Insurgency

  • BONUS GAME 1: Tiny Guardians (10 Participants)

  • BONUS GAME 2: Captain Kaon (20 Participants)

  • BONUS GAME 3: Devil Daggers (30 Participants)

  • BONUS GAME 4: One More Dungeon (40 Participants)

  • BONUS GAME 5: Bulb Boy (50 Participants)

  • BONUS GAME 6: Mushroom Wars (60 Participants)

  • BONUS GAME 7: Tempest (70 Participants)

To check whether you are blacklisted or not please check this freebie giveaway (and no i will not unblock those who are blocked, i've blacklisted for a reason) https://www.steamgifts.com/giveaway/a9Juq/rescue-your-chickens
Every participant will also be added to my whitelist for future giveaways :)

Thank you very much in advance, i hope you will help us out - it will really mean a lot.

I started it, turned volume to 0% then began the game, and sound went back up.

Yes that's a known issue - if you turn it down after you start the game it should stay turned off.

I have the same problem and have downloaded the file twice. Using 7zip to extract

uploaded a new version specifically compressed using 7Zip - maybe that solves it:

Got it now. It wasn't the compression, the problem was the download failed close to the end (timed out?). Using Firefox and resuming the download after the failure fixed it for me.

Haven't seen that before - not sure what may cause it, could possibly be a setting on your computer.

Well I tested the game, it is interesting, but I found it annoying, since you have many chryscrets, you create new warriors, but they can not cross each other, which leaves the game stuck, tiring, more potential, with some Settings, making gameplay faster and more dynamic

Could be interesting. I'll try and get through it. I'm more interested in trying something out rather then winning any games.

Would you like a video compilation?

If you feel you want to put the work into it, it would be very awesome - it's always better to analyse and see player behaviour directly instead of on a survey sheet :)

A long shot but maybe it's for not having played any of the games you won here?

27.9% (12/43) with playtime, 0.00% (0/20) with ≥1 achievement

So?
Are you saying that despite not having a PC you've been entering giveaways for a month? And that's somehow other people's problem...

All I did was offer a possibility; people can do whatever they want with their black and white list, who knows why you are blacklisted.

It's a script, from the playing your wins/backlog group.
You are playing more than the average person, it looks like you don't even idle games for cards.

39.8% (49/123) with playtime, 35.4% (23/65) with ≥1 achievement

Can I ask for the same check? It's kinda interesting.

Here:

50.4% (131/260) with playtime, 50.3% (81/161) with ≥1 achievement

But you should get the script if you're interested, it's in a thread in Group Recruitment BLEAO or something like that.

That seems like a bug yes - I will have the guys look into it, it's not one we've seen in earlier testing.

Alright. If you seem to fix it, please let me know so i can download the new files and try it again.

Keep up the good work!

We've looked it over and can't seem to find a reason, maybe it's just a freak random bug - maybe you can try again and see if it still happens?
Thanks for the patience.
