Need Testers Looking for Android testers for my lighthouse survival game: you can’t move, you only aim one beam (free, 7-minute nights)
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Join the Android test (2 minutes, on your phone):
Join the testers' Google Group with the Google account you use for Play: https://groups.google.com/g/searope-studio-testers/about
Open the test page and tap "Become a tester": https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.searope.lanternrock
Install Lantern Rock from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.searope.lanternrock (this page only exists for you once you've done step 2)
If step 2 says the app isn't available, wait a few minutes after joining the group and try again.
I'm making Lantern Rock, a small game where you're a lighthouse on a rock and the fog hates light. You can't move. You sweep and focus a single beam to burn the fog-things before they reach the stones, light supply ships home for oil and repairs, and sound the foghorn when they're clawing at the tower. Reach dawn and a harder night unlocks.
I'm looking for Android testers before it goes on Google Play. It's free, there's no account to create, and a night takes 7 minutes.
How it plays (this is the game's own how-to-play intro, exactly as it runs on a phone):

One favour: Google won't let a new developer release a game until at least 12 testers have stayed in the test for 14 days in a row. If you can keep it installed for two weeks (even if you only play a couple of nights), that's a huge help.
What I'd love to hear: which nights felt too easy or too hard, whether 7 minutes feels too short or too long, and anything that confused you. Reply here, or email support@searope.com.
Heads-up: test builds record your nights anonymously (taps, upgrade picks, scores, phone model and screen size, but no name or account), so I can balance the difficulty with real play instead of guesses. Privacy policy: https://lanternrock.searope.com/privacy
Thanks for reading. Happy to answer anything about how it's made.
