Bugs Found in Gridpunk – PvP Battle Arena for iOS
Gridpunk – PvP Battle Arena is a battle-royale-type game that allows players to duke it out with other gamers in several modes ranging from solo to a 3v3 battle against high-ranking teams. The game is dynamic and offers a wide range of customization, gear, and build options. With multiple weapons and abilities, anyone can build a selection of heroes that could take on any enemy and dominate the arena.
The QAwerk team enjoyed our time conducting a bug crawl on this battle arena app. However, while we did have a lot of fun, our testers also identified several bugs, some of which were critical and stalled game progression. Join us in discussing these discoveries below to find out how this fascinating game could be improved further.

While testing the app, I discovered issues ranging from major usability problems to a critical authentication blocker. These issues can negatively impact user onboarding and account management. To ensure the stability and usability of Gridpunk, I recommend performing additional testing focused on authentication flows, external link handling, and modal interactions across different iOS devices and account states.
