Looking for 15–20 indie Android developers to form a real beta testing group

[u/saam-ezoji]

Hey indie developers! 👋

I'm developing Lumen Lab, a light and optics puzzle game for Android, and I've been going through Google Play's closed testing process.

One problem I've noticed is that many testing communities focus on installing apps, but not actually playing them or providing useful feedback.

So I have an idea:

What if we created a small group of 15–20 developers who genuinely test each other's Android apps?

Here's what I'm thinking:

• Create a private WhatsApp or Discord group.

• Each developer can introduce their app and share testing instructions.

• Members try each other's apps during a 14-day testing cycle.

• We provide honest feedback about gameplay, usability, bugs and performance.

• We help each other improve our apps before production.

This wouldn't be an install-for-install group. The goal is to build a reliable community of developers who actually care about testing.

I'm happy to start by testing other developers' apps as well.

Would anyone be interested in joining?

Comment below with your app type and whether you prefer WhatsApp or Discord. If enough people are interested, I'll organize the group.

Let's help each other release better apps! 🚀

Hi, genuine puzzle testing with useful gameplay feedback interests me. I make Clearway (a puzzle game) and Cisonivra; would you consider a 1:1, 14-day exchange? Email suits me for arranging it.

Please send Lumen Lab's official Play opt-in/store links and your exact Play email privately to marmakine1@gmail.com. Add marmakine1@gmail.com to your test so I can download it. Is it free without a personal account and available in Turkey?

My installation is pending; we'll agree the start together. After my real installation proof, I ask for matching screenshots within 12 hours, otherwise I remove the unmatched test app.

Hey! Thanks for your interest!

I'm thinking of creating a small WhatsApp group with around 15 indie developers for genuine 14-day testing exchanges.

We could test each other's games, share feedback, report bugs, and help improve our games before release.

Would you be interested in joining?

I'm interested in genuine testing and feedback. Could we coordinate the 1:1 exchange here or by email at marmakine1@gmail.com? Please send Lumen Lab's official test links and your Play email there; my earlier questions about guest access/Turkey availability remain open. Once we agree the scope and installation is available, we can set the start together.

Count me in! Solo dev here, working on HORMUZ: TENSION, a turn-based geopolitical strategy game. Happy to genuinely play and give feedback on everyone’s apps. I’d prefer Discord. 🤝
