During testing, I discovered several bugs, ranging from major to critical functional issues. These problems impact key areas such as onboarding progression, user interaction with UI elements, in-app purchase flows, and core gameplay mechanics. To ensure the stability and functionality of the app, I recommend conducting comprehensive testing of onboarding and hero setup flows (critical entry points), verifying UI responsiveness and pop-up behavior, and running gameplay tests across different devices, screen sizes, and iOS versions.
