Game Usability Review – Gym Empire (v0.3)

From Chronik Spartan in response to this usability review:

What a fantastic presentation! Clear, precise and incredibly relevant. Every point you made was valid and gave clear direction on how the issues can be resolved. I’ll be addressing those issues in v0.5 and will be more than happy for a second look once the issue are addressed.
