The use of educational games in teaching and learning is an increasingly relevant trend. Games interface and usability are common elements in games development and important elements for evaluation purposes. This study is aim to develop a methodology for heuristics based formative usability evaluation that can be used to evaluate interface of educational games. The methodology includes set of evaluation questions for different types of evaluators and it is expected to optimize the use of resources based on online evaluation tool. The methodology is intended for the evaluation of educational games during its development process.
