The Problem

Players were rage-quitting at Level 18 due to a brutal difficulty spike. The XP curve slowed to a crawl mid-game, and the in-game economy collapsed after Chapter 3, making upgrades feel worthless.

What We Fixed

  • Redesigned XP curve with smooth progression from Level 1-50
  • Rebalanced 23 boss encounters to feel challenging, not cheap
  • Fixed economy inflation with new gold sinks and reward scaling
  • Adjusted difficulty curve to remove frustration spikes

"GameMender saved our game. We went from overwhelmingly negative reviews to mostly positive in two weeks. The systems now feel intentional instead of broken."

— Marcus Chen, Lead Designer at Ironforge Studios

Completed

The Problem

Early Access launch showed 73% of players quit within the first hour. The skill tree felt meaningless, resource gathering was tedious, and progression was completely opaque to players.

What We Fixed

  • Completely redesigned skill tree with 40+ meaningful choices
  • Rebalanced resource drop rates and crafting requirements
  • Created clear progression milestones every 15 minutes
  • Fixed monetization to feel fair instead of predatory

"We were about to give up on the project. GameMender didn't just fix the numbers—they helped us understand why players were leaving and gave us a roadmap to fix it."

— Sarah Martinez, CEO of Nebula Games

Completed

The Problem

PvP matchmaking felt unfair, character balance was a mess with 3 meta-defining builds, and new players quit after getting stomped in their first 5 matches.

What We Fixed

  • Rebalanced all 18 characters for competitive fairness
  • Redesigned matchmaking system with skill-based brackets
  • Created beginner-friendly onboarding matches
  • Fixed ability interactions causing unintended one-shots

"GameMender understood competitive balance better than anyone we'd worked with. They fixed our meta in 3 weeks. Our community actually thanks us now."

— David Park, Game Director at Wildfire Interactive

Completed

The Problem

Runs felt too short and unsatisfying. Players complained about RNG being "too punishing" and the meta-progression system felt grindy with no sense of meaningful growth.

What We Fixed

  • Redesigned run length pacing for 20-30 minute sessions
  • Rebalanced RNG drops to feel lucky, not frustrating
  • Fixed meta-progression to show clear growth between runs
  • Adjusted difficulty scaling for satisfying challenge
