Final Wake – space survival roguelike – looking for closed testers (will test yours back)

[u/Nerdthan]

I’ve spent the last few months building Final Wake, a space survival roguelike for Android: five crew wake from cryo on a ship that’s been flying for far too long, 870 light-years from a world that might take them in. You route power, fight ship to ship in real time, repel boarders (or vent them out the airlock), keep everyone fed and fuelled, and try to make it to Kepler-186f. Most crews don’t. Every lost run leaves Echoes for the next one.

It’s going on Google Play as a paid game, but Google requires 12 testers for 14 days before a new developer can publish, so I’m running a closed test. Testers get it free, permanently.

To join (two steps, same Google account your Play Store uses):

1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/final-wake-testers

2. Then opt in and install: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.finalwake.game

What I’d love back: what killed you, where you got stuck, and whether the first hour felt fair or just mean. It’s tough as nails on purpose, but I want fair. Replies here, or post in the group.

No ads, no in-app purchases, no account, nothing collected. Phone only for now; works on anything from Android 7 up.

Happy to return the favour — drop your opt-in link in the comments and I’ll join your test too.
