The term that describes the stage at which a game works as a product and is playable and usable, but the aesthetics are not yet polished is often referred to as the "alpha stage" or "alpha version."
That's not right
Apologies for the incorrect response. The term that accurately describes the stage you mentioned is the "beta stage" or "beta version." In this stage, the game is developed enough to be functional and playable, but the focus is on bug fixing, performance improvements, and refining gameplay before the final release. Aesthetics and visual polish may still be incomplete or require further work at this stage.
