Our Users  We used two laptops connected through the Internet  We recorded the users as they played and monitored them

What we learned through playtesting Bug where units could go on top of each other and merge: very popular Overall prototype was a simple game but strategies were still developed and all the users reported that they enjoyed playing it

Users were confused over controls as no instructions were provided Users were also confused over stats and how much health/movement each unit had (systems need to be implemented to make a process of information delivery)‏ What we learned through playtesting
