🎥 Live World Reviews: Quack Attack & Taco Terror
This month's Worlds Feedback Play Test is here! 🎮🦆🌮 GausRoth playtests two creator-built worlds — Quack Attack and Taco Terror — live on mobile, then breaks down what's working, what's confusing, and what could level up the player experience. 🦆 Quack Attack – A duck-collecting survival game where you gather ducks, toss out garbage, and try to outlast a giant duck lurking beneath the waves. We dig into the first-time user experience, core game loop, progression systems, and landing page presentation. 🌮 Taco Terror – A taco-making obstacle course where you gather ingredients, prep food, and serve dishes while dodging sombrero UFOs. The creator experiments with minimal onboarding — we test whether players can figure it out on their own. For each world, we cover: ✅ First Time User Experience (FTUE) — Is the objective clear? ✅ Core Game Loop — Is it obvious and satisfying? ✅ Progression & Rewards — Are players motivated to keep going? ✅ Landing Page & Presentation — Does it sell the experience?
