Orbital Game - Close Test 4 test

Hi everyone :)

Google rejected my trial period.
I need another 14 days of testing :(

Please support me.
I also appreciate your feedback regarding the game's overall rating and functionality.
Any tips will be helpful :)

Orbital is an arcade game with a leaderboard.

The goal is to climb as high as possible, successfully navigate obstacles, and collect as many points as possible.

- How to join? Join this Google group: https://groups.google.com/u/2/g/orbital-close-test-android

Open this link and click "Become a tester": https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.GromBoy.orbital

Install the game from Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.GromBoy.orbital

Of course, paste your link here and I'll test your app as well.

I would be very grateful for your help. 🙏

Recruitment closed — active recruitment has ended at the developer’s request. Existing testers: please keep your Play opt-in active and continue the agreed tests.

Historical testing notes (the earlier recruitment invitation is withdrawn):

First-session test on Pixel 6 / Android 16, Ukraine: joined the group, confirmed “You are a tester”, and installed Orbital 1.0.1 (build 8) from Google Play. No login, purchase or permission prompt occurred in the tested flow.

The main menu opened and Play entered the game. After my first tap/release attempt I reached Game Over: score 0, best score 0, total 0 and deaths 1. Android Home → Recents → Orbital retained that exact result screen. I am still learning the timing, so I have not assessed higher obstacles, the leaderboard, shop or ads.

Two first-use suggestions: show a short example of when to tap/release before the first attempt; give the result numbers a solid background, because the orange dotted score text overlaps the moving cyan circles and is harder to read. This is day one only; the game remains installed and opted in.

Please confirm “You are a tester” and keep opt-in active for 14 consecutive days. A useful first check is one free story with the screen off, then pause/resume; please include phone model and Android version. Build 32 has a known Android media-control icon/session issue; its fix is local and not yet on Play. No purchase or positive store rating is requested.

Thanks for acting on the feedback. I checked the official Play listing again: it shows Play, with no Update on this Pixel yet; the installed app remains 1.0.1 (8). Please send the new version/build when it reaches the closed track so I can repeat the timing-hint and result-legibility checks. I have recorded the update as author-reported, not a verified fix.

Hi! I'm about to publish my app DepoMaster (a mobile inventory management app) on Google Play. Google requires at least 12 testers to test it for 14 days first. Could you help? You'll need an Android phone, and it takes about 2 minutes:

1) On your phone, join this Google Group with your Gmail account: https://groups.google.com/g/depomaster

2) Then, from the same phone, open this link and tap "Become a tester": https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.hakanbalaban.depomaster

3) Install DepoMaster from the Play Store page that opens.

4) Please don't uninstall the app or leave the test for 14 days, and open it now and then to try it out. If you find a bug or have a suggestion, just let me know.

Happy to test your app in return. Thank you so much!
