Playtest your HTML5 game
Plain HTML and JavaScript, or anything that exports to the web: Phaser, three.js, Babylon.js, PlayCanvas, Defold, GameMaker and the like.
Upload
- Zip the folder with index.html in it, and upload it in the studio, or have your coding agent deploy it.
- Builds up to 100 MB unpacked. Everything in a build is public: never put keys or passwords in it.
Saves
Keep the game's state in localStorage, as JSON under readable keys, and save often. Betacade reads it with no platform code in the game, so you see how far each player got:
localStorage.setItem("save", JSON.stringify({ level: 3, deaths: 12 }));What you see after a playtest
- Who played, for how long, and on what screen
- How far each player got, read from the game's saves
- Errors, with the build they happened on
- Feedback from the pause menu, which you can reply to
- Replays of each session, once saves and replays are on
