We presented our MVP and got feedback from user testing! Before our presentation, we were able to add three new terrain elements, infinite obstacle and terrain generation, and a new custom flipper model. We hit all our MVP goals and we’re really proud of what we’ve created so far! We also really enjoyed watching others experience our game and have fun playing it. We’re excited to start working on our new features and start polishing our game!
