You will get professional game design audit for retention, progression and core systems
Top Rated
Project details
I provide a focused senior-level game design audit for games, prototypes, concepts and gamified products. I review the areas that matter most to the player experience, including core loop, progression, retention, economy, onboarding, rewards, difficulty, monetization and system interactions.
You can come to me with a specific design problem, an existing build, a GDD, gameplay footage, spreadsheets, or simply an idea that needs clearer direction.
I will identify the most important design issues, explain why they matter, and provide prioritized, practical recommendations rather than generic feedback.
I have 20+ years of professional game design experience across studio and freelance work, including Senior Game Designer and Head of Game Design roles. I have completed 150+ projects on Upwork with more than $300K earned.
The final delivery is a concise written audit focused on actionable improvements. One revision is included, and a 60-minute follow-up consultation can be added if you want to discuss the findings in detail.

Game Designer Needed for Indie Adult Game (Economy & Monetization Focus)
The freelancer failed to deliver the technical systems and economy audit defined in the milestone. While he provided a good UI/UX review of the tutorial, he explicitly declined to analyze the game's progression and resource scaling as originally agreed unless the budget was increased. We had to settle this via a dispute. Be very specific about technical deliverables if hiring for systems design.

Gamified dating app GDD
Rafal was quick to respond to my inquiry, to get documents from me, and to set up time to meet. After a reasonable amount of time, Rafal delivered an extremely detailed GDD that covered my requirements and more. He responded to questions quickly, accepting my decisions, but more importantly pushing back appropriately. This showed me that Rafal takes his job seriously; he's not just passively feeding his clients own thoughts back to them.
