If you want to get better feed back from your play testers, consider adding an element that is obvious and incomplete. If the game looks closer to done, they might reserve feed back to only apply to things that look easier to fix.
Most people, when attending a restaurant, and the food taste in general is mediocre, the customer is not apt to say anything, but simply not return and possible leave a bad review. But if the plate has something clearly wrong with it, like there is no burger in the bun, or the bacon is charred black. The customer is more likely to assume the food *could* be good, but has a mistake and ask for it to be fixed.
Play testers are often the same way. If they think the game sucks over all, they'll be less apt to say that. But if its clear that it is incomplete, that it is a work in progress, they will be more open about criticisms.
