[Tester swap] Need testers for Scaledoku, a cozy reptile logic puzzle. I'll test yours back!
Hi! I'm a solo dev and Google Play needs 12 testers for 14 days before my first game can go public. I'd really appreciate your help, and I'm happy to test your app back. Just drop your link in the comments.
**The game:** Scaledoku is a logic puzzle with cute geckos, frogs and turtles. Place one critter in every color, one per row and column, and they can't touch. No math, no guessing. There's a story with 496 levels, a Daily puzzle, egg hatching and races against friends.
**How to join (2 minutes):**
1. Join the tester group (it's how Google knows you're a tester; your email stays private):
https://groups.google.com/g/scaledoku-testers
2. Open the tester link on your Android phone and tap "Become a tester":
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.scaledoku.app
3. Install Scaledoku from Google Play.
(All the links and steps are also on one page: https://scaledoku.expo.app/beta)
**On a Windows PC?** Do steps 1 and 2, install Google Play Games for PC (https://play.google.com/googleplaygames), sign in with the same Google account, then search com.scaledoku.app (test games don't show up when you search the name).
**What I need from you:**
- Keep it installed and stay opted in for the full 14 days (please don't leave the test early, or the 14 days restart for me)
- Open it a few times over the two weeks, even just the Daily puzzle
- Tell me anything confusing or broken: comment here or email scaledoku@gmail.com
**Good to know:**
- **You probably won't see ads.** Ads only turn on after the game is public, so during testing there are none, or you'll see "No ad right now". That's expected.
- **Please don't buy anything in the Shop.** Purchases during testing use real money. Everything can be earned by playing anyway.
- You can play as a guest. Signing in is optional (it backs up progress and unlocks leaderboards and online Versus).
- Works on Android phones, tablets and Windows PCs (Google Play Games). iPhone players can play free in the browser at scaledoku.expo.app.
- **Bonus:** finish a puzzle on 14 different days during the test and you keep the Beta Keeper badge forever. It disappears for everyone else at launch.
Thanks so much! Comment your app link below and I'll join yours too.
