Bugs found in MetroLand – Endless Arcade Run for Android
MetroLand is a running game developed by Kiloo, a Danish video game publisher with over 3 bln happy consumers of their titles.
MetroLand is an arcade runner that allows players to raise their scores non-stop, even if they are offline. With MetroLand’s heroes, one can explore the entire city while parkouring over rooftops and dashing through underground tunnels to dodge capture. Players will find enticing rewards on their way and unlock new playgrounds as they gain more experience.
Our QAwerk team has already made it a fun tradition to test mobile games as part of our Bug Crawl program. MetroLand has a decent Google Play ranking, yet we found a few areas to look into to boost customer satisfaction even further.
