The questionnaire is used to determine the aspects that need to be improved in the cup design in the game and the user's preference for the icon design of the achievement settlement interface.

Summary

Most users gave positive comments on the revised trophy and thought that the color scheme, key information and some details were more in line with expectations. The small icon of the achievement settlement interface is selected according to the user's vote.

Future testing

In the future, we will look for volunteers to experience the game, interview them after they have tried the game, and investigate whether the functions of the achievement system and the styles of all elements of the achievement interface are well integrated with the game based on the user's real experience of the game, figure out whether it can meet the needs of users for such a game and play a positive role in users' game experience.
