EDIT: Holy cow, that's a lot of people

EDIT2: I'll wait until 5 pm berlin time and pick one. Please put effort in your response. Ideally write at least 5 sentences about why I should pick you, your previous expierence and if possible a link to previous work. It's still possible I might look for a second tester down the line but I won't guarantee it.

It's a game where you get stalked by a monster sensitive to light and solve puzzles (you get left alone when solving puzzles). The puzzles are mostly about experimenting with buttons and such than having to come up with a clever solution, though some definitely require a bit of thinking.

If you're interested, drop a comment and I might DM you.

Microphone not required if you write down all your thoughts afterwards.

[UPDATE: APPLICATIONS CLOSED]

Thank you to everyone who applied to playtest Project D. I've received a lot of applications, and I really appreciate the interest.

It will take me a little while to review all the applications, so please be patient.

I'll contact the selected playtesters via the email addresses they provided in the application form.

Please note that I'm in the CEST time zone, so emails may arrive at different times depending on where you are.

Thanks again to everyone who took the time to apply!

[Original post below]

Happy Halloween week, everyone! 🎃

I've just finished building a prototype called Project D, which will serve as the foundation for my first game.

About Project D

Project D is an early prototype for a first-person psychological survival horror game inspired by ancient mythology, focused on exploration, navigation, and disorientation.

The current prototype is essentially a first-person puzzle game in which you must solve a maze that is procedurally generated and changes with every run.

Playtest Information & Compensation

I'm looking for up to 6 playtesters to help me evaluate the core gameplay loop. Keep in mind this is an early prototype, so expect greyboxing, placeholder assets, and a basic UI.

This prototype is for Windows only and will be distributed through itch.io. An itch.io account is required to claim the game key.

The estimated playtime is ⁓45 minutes. Since it's a quick pick-up game, multiple runs are welcome but not mandatory.

After playing, you'll need to complete a short Microsoft Forms questionnaire.
In addition, preference will be given to candidates who are willing to record their gameplay sessions, preferably using the “think-aloud” protocol.

In exchange for your time, you'll receive $15 via PayPal Goods and Services.

If you're interested, please fill out the application form below.

Selected testers will receive all the instructions by email.

⚠️Motion Sickness Warning

Please note that this prototype may cause motion sickness despite the available accessibility options I've implemented. If you need to stop because of symptoms, you'll still receive the full $15, provided you submit the requested feedback.

P.S.: I have a full-time job, but I'll do my best to keep things moving quickly. Thanks for your patience!

[PAID] Roblox Game Testers Needed – $5 🎮
Hi! I’m looking for testers for my Roblox game.
💰 $5 USD via PayPal
⏱️** 30 minutes of gameplay
A **detailed feedback report covering bugs, gameplay experience, and suggestions is required after testing.
📩 DM me if interested!

I am the solo developer of Crossroads Legends, a mobile RPG where your real neighbourhood becomes the map. You build a party of three, equip gear cards, and d20 rolls decide every fight.

How to get in (takes about 2 minutes):

iPhone (TestFlight): https://testflight.apple.com/join/kTk9rczA

Android: join https://groups.google.com/g/crossroads-legends-testers then install from https://play.google.com/apps/testing/work.sicken.dnd2go

Both steps are also on https://www.crossroadslegends.com/#beta

What I need tested:

• The first 20 minutes: where are you confused, bored, or stuck?

• The first battle: do you understand why you won or lost?

• Would you open it again tomorrow, and why or why not?

There is a feedback button in the game, and every report lands directly with me. Replies here work too.

The game is online-only and uses your location while you play (other players do not see it). Thanks a lot for your time!

Hi! I’m a solo dev and Unstitch is my first game: a calm puzzle where you pull needles with threads out of an embroidery canvas in the right order. Each needle can only fly out if nothing blocks its way. Later levels add spools and a small shelf, so you have to plan which thread to pull first. There’s also a daily puzzle that’s the same for everyone.

Google Play requires a 14-day closed test with at least 12 testers before a new game can be published. The test opens in a few days.

What I’m asking: install the game from the test link and keep it on your phone for 14 days. Playing a few levels and telling me what felt confusing, too easy or too hard would help a lot.

Feedback: comments here or a DM. Requirements: an Android phone (Android 10+) and a Google account.

If you’re interested, comment or send me a DM and I’ll send you the link as soon as the test is live. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I'm a small indie developer looking for 10 playtesters for an unreleased cozy strategy game for iPhone. Details stay under wraps until launch, so selected testers sign a short NDA before getting access.

What you get: $20 USD via PayPal, sent within 3 business days after you finish both parts.

What you'll do:
Play for about 40 minutes on your iPhone, through a private TestFlight invite. Start from the very beginning and play naturally; I want to see what a real first session looks like.
Record your screen with iPhone's built-in screen recording, microphone on if you're comfortable thinking out loud (very helpful, not required). Send it as a private Google Drive or Dropbox link. No YouTube, even unlisted.
Join a 20-minute voice Q&A on Discord at a time that works for you. We'll talk about your first impressions, what was fun, what was confusing, how the difficulty felt, and whether you'd keep playing.

Requirements:
18 or older
An iPhone on a recent iOS version (TestFlight is free)
Available within the next week

To apply, comment below with:
your iPhone model
2–3 mobile games you've played recently
how often you play mobile games
your time zone

Please don't DM me. DMs will be ignored. I'll DM the people selected with next steps. I'm aiming for a mix of strategy fans and more casual players, so you don't need to be a hardcore gamer.

Thanks!

Hello!

Looking for maybe 2-5 testers for my in development RPG PBBG game which is getting near to a basic alpha stage. Currently players can quite easily get a lot of autos/actions so it's very afk/idle friendly.

This would be to help me with finding:

-Balance Issues
-UI Issues
-Testing new features
-General opinions and feel for the game

Previous experience with PBBG/Idle games would be ideal but not required

The game uses the standard 6 second action ticks of regular pbbgs but mixed in with action RPG style loot (Diablo 2ish), 4 different skills currently, 3 different factions similar to some older mmos, custom events, Battle Pets and a few other different things.

It goes without saying the game is free to play and I will also give each tester a in-game title for Alpha Testing which will stay with them even into release (hopefully! :) )

Send me a message here if you'd like to join - thanks! :)

Hi! I'm a solo dev and I'd love a few people to play the free demo of my first game and tell me what works and what doesn't.

The game: LOST in the Ball Pit. You're the ball pit attendant after closing time. Sort every ball back into its color crate (grab and throw by hand, a net that only pours the color of the crate you aim at, a leaf blower, a vacuum), find the things kids lost in the pit, return them at the Lost & Found desk, and buy better tools. 3 play areas with 2,500, 8,000 and 25,000 simulated balls.

Link: https://sadstudio.itch.io/lost-in-the-ball-pit (Windows, free demo, v0.5)

What I'd like to know:

- Does sorting stay fun after 10 minutes, or turn into a chore?

- Is it clear what to do (sort, find items, return them, upgrade) without reading anything?

- Does diving into the balls feel good or floaty?

- Anything that broke, or ran badly on your PC (please mention your graphics card)

How to send feedback: reply here in the comments, or leave a comment on the itch page. I read and answer everythin

Hello all, I developed a RPG Survivor/Fantasy/Roguelite game for Android phones. It's currently in a Pre-Release State and I would love it if any of you would be wiling to play it and test it for me.

Hi everyone!

I'm the developer of Cricket Masters, an in-development, single-player cricket management and simulation game focused on the details that make cricket interesting.

The idea is to simulate more than the final score: match situations, tactical choices, conditions, player performances and the decisions that can change the course of a game.

What can you explore?

• 🏏 T20, ODI and Test cricket
• 🎯 Ball-by-ball gameplay, batting intent, bowling plans and field settings
• 🌦️ Pitch, weather and ball conditions
• 📊 Scorecards, wagon wheels, pitch maps and match reports where supported
• 🏆 Series, tournaments and competition formats
• 👤 Player Career, training, injuries, selection and progression

The game is actively being developed. Some features are incomplete, and bugs or unrealistic outcomes are possible. The purpose of this closed beta is to improve cricket correctness, simulation consistency, reliability and usability.

Who am I looking for?

You could be a good fit if you:

• Enjoy cricket beyond the basic scorecard.
• Like cricket management games, statistics or sports simulations.
• Can explain when a tactical decision or match outcome feels wrong.
• Are willing to report bugs or share constructive feedback.

You don't need professional cricket experience or previous QA experience. Curiosity and useful feedback matter more than credentials.

Interested in testing?

I've set up a short application form so I can understand your operating system, cricket interests, availability and preferred testing areas.

👉 Apply here: https://tally.so/r/1WW2WM

This is a closed beta, so applying doesn't guarantee an invitation. Selected testers will receive private instructions for accessing the appropriate build and any required activation key. Please don't share private builds or keys publicly.

You can also follow the project here:

• Game page: https://cricketmastersgame.itch.io/cricket-masters/
• Project community: https://www.reddit.com/r/cricketmasters/

Full disclosure: I'm the developer, and this is my own game. I'm looking for people who can help make the simulation better, including by pointing out where it gets cricket wrong.

Thanks for reading. I'd love to hear what you think matters most in a realistic cricket simulation! 🏏

Hi guys

I have created this web game prototype. Would appreciate your feedback to develop this prototype further.

https://sanskaarscore.in/

~4 of us so far, looking for 1-3 more devs to join our "deep-dive pod" at the BreakMyGame Discord for a months long commitment, ideally..

Participants get put into a rotation for a 2-3 hour spotlight for their 3-4+ player ~mediumweight games as long as they show up regularly.. like, once a week at least.. the more often you show up = the higher you'll get moved up in said rotation.

Screentop.gg prototypes preferred but tabletop playground/tabletopia is cool too. No AI please!

Thx! DM me for info/questions.

I'm the developer of STRETCH PETS, a pixel-art puzzle game where you swipe a square pet to stretch it across a board and fill every open tile. Walls, your own body, stop tiles, keys/gates and paired portals affect your route.

I'm looking for a 5–10 minute unpaid playtest of the new Android beta, version 0.4.0:

https://egeberatk.itch.io/stretch-pets

Please download StretchPets-0.4.0.apk for the latest version (Android 7.1+, ARM64). The browser demo on the same page has also been updated to 0.4.0 and needs no installation. English and Turkish are available. No account, purchase or recording is required.

The Android update includes 100 puzzles across four freely selectable difficulty groups, star milestones, a daily reward wheel, and 42 collectible pets. All nine video-unlock pets can now also be bought with earned coins. Hints and undo use normal daily allowances; restarting a level is unlimited. Ads and real-money purchases are not connected in this beta.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on:

• Which level first felt boring, unfair or confusing? Please try a harder group if the opening puzzles are too easy.

• Does collecting pets give you a reason to keep playing?

• Are daily hints/undo and the shop clear without extra explanations?

Please leave feedback in the Reddit comments or on itch.io. A few honest sentences are enough; for bugs, the level and phone model help.

For transparency, development uses AI-assisted code, artwork and text, plus procedurally synthesized sound effects, alongside custom game art. Thanks for trying it!

Since we all are looking for play-testers. I had an idea. Let do a 20-30 minute review for each other.

I have a roguelike deckbuilder, of that’s a genre you play sometimes, I would love to get some feedback!

State your genre, drop a comment I will send you a dm! Off course I am also inviting you to react on others comments in this message as well!

Please don’t punt any links in, let’s keep ik clean and simple

Cheers a

Hi! I'm looking for unpaid playtesters for London Lore, an early browser-based trivia and bluffing game set around London. It’s free, works in a browser and doesn’t require an account. You can explore solo, play a five-round match against the computer, or invite friends into a private room.

Play: https://getrealgood.co.uk/london-lore

If you have a few minutes, I’d especially appreciate feedback on: Is it clear how to start? Can two people join the same private room on separate devices? Is movement and starting a trivia challenge understandable? What broke or felt slow or confusing? If testing with someone isn’t practical, a computer match or solo exploration is useful too.

Please leave feedback here, including your device and browser if something goes wrong. Thanks for helping me improve it!

I'm the developer of Ten Blitz, a free number-grid score-attack game inside Reddit. I'm looking for people who have not played it before, especially if you enjoy quick arithmetic or chasing a personal score.

This playtest focuses on the decision after a first run: does the result give you something you want to try next, or are you ready to leave?

Play: https://www.reddit.com/r/TenBlitz/comments/1w6rv1f/ten_blitz_can_you_take_todays_1/

Use Reddit's desktop web interface. Reddit sign-in is required to start and save a score; there is no download or payment. Drag rectangles whose remaining numbers total 10; each cleared cell earns a point. Every run starts with a fresh random grid, has a three-minute timer, and uses one of three ranked runs per daily challenge. Please use the game's existing instructions and stop whenever you naturally want to.

Please leave feedback in the comments after trying it:

1. When your first run ended, what did you want to do next, if anything?
2. What on the result screen helped or hindered that decision? If you wanted another run, what were you hoping to do differently?
3. If you left before getting a result, where did you stop and why?

A short account is enough. Not wanting another run is useful feedback too. This is unpaid; no recording, private message, or return visit is requested. Your browser and any failed step would help if something doesn't work.

Disclosure: I develop Ten Blitz. AI tools assisted development; an AI assistant helped prepare and publish this playtest request.

I'm the developer of Linwu: Spirit Beast Ranch, a monster-raising sim where you choose training, feeding and rest week by week before tournament cups. I'm looking for players to test how clearly the opening explains those choices.

When you make your first training or rest decision, what information are you using? I'd like to know what you expected that choice to do, and whether the result matched. If you couldn't work out what to choose, that is useful feedback too.

The free Windows demo is available through Download Demo on Steam:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5118540/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=first_choice_20261027&utm_content=playtesters

Please leave feedback here in the comments. Tell me where you stopped and what made you stop, even if you only tried the opening. There's no need to finish the demo or record a video. This is an unpaid playtest.

I'm the developer of Fillup, a turn-based browser strategy game based on Chain Reaction. You add pieces to cells; filling one sends pieces into its neighbors and can trigger a cascade.

I'd appreciate a fresh pair of eyes on the introduction. If you have 10–15 minutes, try the guided lesson and a Weekly tower mode, then tell me:

• Could you follow why the cells reacted and changed color?
• Was there a point where you became confused or stopped wanting to play?

A short comment is enough. If something breaks, your device and browser would help.

The latest update also adds Weekly Tower, a solo climb with checkpoints and cosmetic rewards. If you already know the game, feedback on its first few floors would be useful too.

This is an unpaid test. The game is free, with no download. You can try the introduction and Campaign as a guest; Tower requires a free registered account.

Play: https://fillup.fun/play-now

Hi everyone!

I'm developing an independent trading card game called Echoes of the Fold, and I'm looking for people interested in helping test and shape it during its Alpha stage.

What is Echoes of the Fold?

It's a strategy TCG set in Caelor, a world where reality, memory, and history have fractured following a catastrophe known as the Great Fold.

Six competing Doctrines struggle to determine what survives.

The game features a few mechanics I've been exploring:

• Evolving units: Units progress through Active → Fading → Echo → Fold. Each unit has different abilities in its Active and Fading states, with a final Echo trigger before leaving play.
• Three-lane combat: Position units across three lanes, outmaneuver your opponent, and win clashes.
• Momentum and Debt: You can spend resources you don't have, but accumulating too much Debt can cost you the game.
• Doctrine-based deckbuilding: Your deck composition determines your Dominant Doctrine and which additional abilities you can unlock.
• Multiple victory conditions: Win by reducing your opponent's Life, pushing them too far into Debt, or collapsing their Doctrine.

How can you help playtest?

A free Print & Play version of the game is available, allowing players to print the cards at home and test them with friends.

Playtesting will be entirely voluntary and unpaid. I'm particularly interested in feedback on gameplay balance, clarity of the rules, card interactions, and whether the different Doctrines offer distinct strategic experiences.

Join the development!

I've started a small Discord community where I'm sharing new cards, discussing mechanics, gathering feedback, and organising upcoming playtests.

If you enjoy TCGs, deckbuilding, or discovering new strategy games, I'd love to have you involved from the beginning.

Discord: [https://discord.gg/5AbtwqTGB\]

You don't need to be an experienced playtester. Whether you want to test a few games, discuss mechanics, or simply follow the project, you're welcome!

Thanks for reading, and I hope to see some of you in the Fold!

We’ve just started 10 days of community activities leading up to our November 5 beta test.

Today’s one is simple:

REBOUND, EXPLOSION or PRECISION who would you pick for your run?

Vote in the Discord poll and you’ll have a chance to win today’s Splatchinko key.

There’ll be a different activity and another key available every day, so if you want to help us test the game and build the community before launch, come join us.

Hello everyone!

I'm the solo indie developer working on Hive Haven, a cozy first-person beekeeping tycoon where you build and manage your own apiary.

You start with an empty hive, buy/breed the Queen, and then gradually improve the traits of your Queen, sell goods, buy research/upgrades, and expand move your sweet empire.

I'm currently preparing the demo for launch, however I would need some good gamers to test the crap out of my game, and who would like to give me some feedback on their experience.

The details are below :
- platform : Windows PC
- compensation : unpaid
- players : 5-10 volunteers (if more I'm more than happy)
- access : free closed playtest, more details when the build is ready
- feedback : a short form with questions, maybe if you encountered some bugs or recorded the gameplay

I'm interested if you find the game loop understandable, satisfying and if you would like to play more.

I'm not looking for positive reviews or wishlists in exchange for testing, I want honest opinions about the game.

The game/demo is still in development, so you might (hopefully not) encounter bugs.

If you are interested, leave a comment or DM me! Thank you for reading this, have a wonderful day!
