  • N/A
  • We acknowledge that there is an opportunity for enhancing the functionality of the UI elements to match their visual appeal. During the project, we encountered certain usability challenges. However, we only provided limited access to the source code and that probably made it difficult to conduct a thorough quality assurance assessment on the integration from Brave Zebra's side.

The porting from PC to consoles was done in a good and optimal manner.

Overall experience is great, the team did even more than we have originally planned to do. They ported the game from PC to XB1/X/PS4/PS5/NSW and now are porting it to mobile as well. This is the 3rd project we are working with the team on.
