The overall feedback gathered from sprint 3 enhancements have been promising. There were not as many people who felt like disagreeing as observed in user testing for sprint 2. This shows that enhancements made are according to users' choice. General feedback showed that the user interface for achievement list is easy to comprehend and appealing to the eye. Very few users felt that there was a need of improvement in the pixelated images.
In the future, we will look for volunteers to experience the game, interview them after they have tried the game, and investigate whether the functions of the history scoreboard and the styles of all elements of the history scoreboard and score details interface are well integrated with the game based on the user's real experience of the game, figure out whether it can meet the needs of users for such a game and play a positive role in users' game experience.
