“Been tuning this one for a while. Ice tops leave a burst on impact that shoves anything nearby back, and I think I finally found the sweet spot where it feels heavy without being annoying. Wrapped a short clip of the clash, still deciding how much knockback is too much.”
“Hi everyone! I've been working on a small Android game called WalkVale and I'm looking for a few more people to test it. Your real-life steps give you energy that you can spend on dice rolls, rewards and building your own village. It's currently in a 14-day Google Play closed…”
“Hi! I've been building Esquarium, a cozy incremental game where you look after your own pixel aquarium. 🐠 How it plays - Tap the water to drop food (hold to throw a handful) and watch your fish swim for it - Every bite makes them grow: fry → juvenile → adult → giant → GOLDEN…”

“We are in a process of releasing the demo for our game, but we have a dilemma what to include in it. It is incremental game that has few different worlds and in it few different zones. We have two options for demo: A) Make it to include just first world with all 5 bosses there, so at the end of the demo (around 1h) you complete what you would complete in a released game OR B) Include few different worlds, so you get visual variety (levels would be scaled so the demo is still around 1h), but user”
Hey guys! We’re finally at the playtest stage! 🎉 There was some lag during this gameplay, but I’ve fixed it now. The Ice Tower VFX has also been fixed. Hopefully, the playtest…

“Hey everyone, I’m a solo dev working on an online multiplayer RPG and I’m looking for a small group of testers before the server goes live. I’m specifically looking for people who grew up on Ultima Online, RuneScape, or PBBG and idle games. People who actually enjoy the grind, but who also notice when something feels off and aren’t shy about telling me. If you’re the type who finds the bug in the first ten minutes, you’re exactly who I want. So what’s the game? It’s a living online world where y”

Regarding me”
“Hi everyone! We are a small team, and we made a sim game about running your own little shop with blind boxes, comics, manga and collectible figures. You will open a tiny store and grow it from there: buy new licenses, fit the place out the way you like, and host events to bring people in. Our new demo is out - see how much of the collection you can put together, new secret figures included! We really love to hear your feedback, and thank you for taking the time.
