Essential Question
Critique and Revision
Create a medium-fidelity prototype that can be played with basic pieces or a simple digital mock-up. Run a short playtest with another pair and use a simple testing protocol (a few pictures or sentences). Collect feedback, share what players liked or found hard, and write revision decisions with a brief rationale in your iteration log.

Student-facing instructions
Your task is to create a prototype of your video game that combines visuals, sound, and interactivity. You will use materials and tools appropriate for your game type. Collaborate with your peers for playtesting, gather feedback, and note down observations in an iteration log. Reflect on the feedback and plan how to improve your game.
