The game All Hands On Deck by Studio Mantasaur has been in development for several years. It previously received funding from Midgame Fund, and the developers are now close to release. As part of this process, they asked GameLab to put the game through its paces.
Five teams of students and alumni ventured into All Hands On Deck’s wonderfully mad universe of hands and tried the puzzles in this cosy co-op game. We had a lot of fun. The game creates bizarre situations, and bursts of laughter regularly rang out through GameLab. Playing clearly brings out the right emotions.
We tested intensively and discovered a number of bugs, which we shared with the developer. Once those are fixed, I think All Hands On Deck will be a success!
Testing and providing feedback on a game so close to release was an enjoyable and valuable experience for the GameLab students.
