It's a good checklist. During Walk The Frogs development we were able to check most of the items at least once and hopefully when we are done we'll have resolved them all haha

We've playtested over 400 indie games, almost all of them had bugs and issues. We ran some analysis and today we're revealing the top mistakes these games made and how you can avoid them.
