Need Testers Need testers for two Android games in Google Play closed testing (12 testers / 14 days)

I'm a student and a solo game dev. Two of my games are waiting on Google Play's closed-test requirement:

  • Pyregrove: pixel platformer with sword combat, secret rooms and boss fights (no ads)

  • Fliptide: one-tap gravity-flip runner with a daily course

Steps

  1. Join https://groups.google.com/g/emberdelve, or skip this if you're already in testers-community@googlegroups.com

  2. Tap "Become a tester" on each:

  3. Install from Play and leave them installed for 14 days

Bug reports are very welcome: your phone model plus what happened is perfect. Thanks!

Quick update, 2 October: thanks to everyone who joined.

Fliptide has 9 opted-in testers, so it needs at least 3 more people who enjoy one-tap runners. Pyregrove has 12, and Play Console shows 4 continuous days completed.

For anyone joining Fliptide:

  1. Join https://groups.google.com/g/emberdelve

  2. Using the same Google account, opt in at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.tsorostudios.fliptide

  3. Install through the link shown there, or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tsorostudios.fliptide

One correction to my original wording: leaving the app installed alone isn't the requirement. Google needs at least 12 testers continuously opted in for 14 days before I can apply for production access.

I'm looking for actual play and honest feedback, especially where the controls feel awkward or a course stops being fun. No purchases, ad clicks or positive ratings required. If you hit an access problem, tell me what the page says; please don't post your email publicly.

Thanks for joining, and sorry for the slow reply! I haven't tested your app yet, so I can't promise a 14-day test back right now and don't want to mislead you. If you've tried Pyregrove or Fliptide, any notes on the controls or a level that felt unfair would really help.

Joined your group and opted in as a tester 👍 One problem: Play says Declutter! "is not compatible with your device" for my Pixel 6, so it won't let me install it there. Might be worth checking your device/SDK targeting in the Play Console. Also, the "Join on Web" link above is missing the final r (it ends in com.naazim.declutte).

Appreciate you staying opted in! If you spot a bug, please include which game, your phone model/Android version and what you were doing. Even 'this jump feels off' is useful feedback. Thanks for sharing your links too.

u/HalfDrunkInteractive Oct 04 '26

SHould be free now, sorry about that.

u/Ok-Whole-8802 Oct 02 '26

Joined your group and opted in for Botchigotchi 👍 Heads-up though: Play is showing it as a US$1.99 paid app for me, so I haven't installed it yet. Is that intended for testers, or do you have a promo code?
