Hello Merve! Thanks for introducing the process of your group’s play testing. It is a powerful tool and glad that you learned a lot and solved lots of potential problems. According to the out come, the game is quite balanced that people cannot beat it in their first attempt and played it for several times. You said the mechanics are understandable in a short time, not sure if you provided a tutorial level to explain things to player, if not it’s nice to have one. As you showed at the presentation, the boss’s lazer can only shoot forward. As soon as the player understand the attacking pattern, the boss couldn’t hurt the player anymore if player just stay at the top or down side of the screen. Don’t provide them a comfort zone, you could spawn some small enemies to force them stay at one position all the time.
