Game 1 Unit 63 of 64 1 hr learning time
Final Playtest
Conduct final playtesting with fresh eyes and make last-minute adjustments based on real player feedback.
98% of SID Symphony
Final playtesting brings fresh eyes to your game. Testers find issues you’ve become blind to and provide perspective on the player experience.

Finding Playtesters
Good playtesters include:
| Type | Value |
|---|---|
| Non-gamers | Find confusing interfaces |
| Genre fans | Compare to other rhythm games |
| Kids | Test accessibility |
| Experienced devs | Spot technical issues |
Diverse perspectives reveal diverse problems.
Running a Playtest Session
- Set up - Prepare build, have notepad ready
- Brief - Minimal instruction, let them discover
- Observe - Watch silently, note frustrations
- Listen - Record verbal reactions
- Debrief - Ask open questions after
Don’t: Explain, justify, or defend. Just observe.
What to Watch For
| Signal | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Pausing | Confusion or processing |
| Sighing | Frustration |
| Leaning forward | Engagement |
| Button mashing | Lost or bored |
| ”What?” | Unclear feedback |
| ”Yes!” | Satisfaction |
Feedback Triage
Not all feedback is equal:
MUST FIX:
- Crashes
- Softlocks
- Broken core mechanics
SHOULD FIX:
- Confusing UI
- Unfair difficulty spikes
- Missing feedback
COULD FIX:
- Polish requests
- Feature suggestions
WON'T FIX:
- Personal preferences
- Scope creepWhen to Stop Polishing
Ship when:
- Critical bugs fixed
- Core experience works
- Testers can complete the game
- Diminishing returns on changes
Perfect is the enemy of done.
Common Playtest Findings
”I didn’t know I could do that”
- Add tutorial hints
- Improve visual affordances
”The timing feels off”
- Adjust input windows
- Add visual/audio feedback
”It’s too hard/easy”
- Add difficulty options
- Rebalance note patterns
”I don’t understand what happened”
- Add clearer feedback
- Improve result screens
Document Everything
Keep a playtest log:

; SID SYMPHONY - Unit 63: Final Playtest
; ============================================================================
; This unit covers the final playtest phase - getting fresh eyes on the game
; and making last-minute adjustments based on real player feedback.
;
; CONCEPTS COVERED:
; - Playtest methodology
; - Feedback collection
; - Priority triage
; - When to stop polishing
;
; OUR APPROACH:
; - Explain playtest best practices
; - Discuss feedback interpretation
; - Present release criteria
;
; Controls: P1: Z/X/C = Tracks | P2: 1/2/3 = Tracks

; MAIN LOOP - Raster Timing (Unit 52)
; ============================================================================
; The VIC-II draws the screen line by line, 50 times per second (PAL).
; The current line being drawn is in $D012 (raster register).
;
; PAL screen layout:
; Lines 0-50: Top border (not visible on most TVs)
; Lines 51-250: Visible screen area (200 lines)
; Lines 251-311: Bottom border and vertical blank
;
; We sync to line 255 ($FF) because:
; 1. It's in the bottom border - safe to update screen memory
; 2. All visible content has been drawn this frame
; 3. We have until line 50 next frame before visible drawing starts
;
; This gives us the entire vertical blank period (~4,500 cycles) plus
; the top border period for time-critical updates.
;
; POLLING vs INTERRUPTS:
; - Polling (our approach): Simple, predictable, sufficient for our needs
; - Interrupts: More complex, but frees CPU during wait period
;
; For a rhythm game with 16% CPU usage, polling is the right choice.
; ============================================================================
