Shaping ZEDx: From Alpha to Beta
Whether you’re among the first 20 Alpha testers, part of the next 100, or one of the early Beta testers, your involvement is shaping the future of ZEDx. Every phase of testing plays a critical role in refining the game, ensuring a polished and engaging experience when it launches.
Currently, ZEDx is undergoing rigorous internal playtesting. We’re refining mechanics, testing features, and, most importantly, experiencing the gameplay firsthand. While the game dynamic differs from ZED RUN, it delivers the same level of excitement and immersion that players have come to love. The competition is already fierce, with testers sledging, strategising, and battling for leaderboard dominance.
This internal testing phase is more than just fun and games; it’s about fine-tuning the core experience. Every click, every race, and every outcome is scrutinised to ensure the mechanics feel rewarding and the gameplay is seamless.
As we transition from Internal to Alpha, and Alpha to Beta, more testers will get the chance to experience ZEDx firsthand. This will be a valuable opportunity for players to provide feedback, identify areas for improvement, and help refine the game.
Stay tuned for updates as we progress through the rollout phases. We’re eager to share more details about the mechanics, visuals, and competitive features that will define ZEDx.
