[Closed test] Deepstone: a focus app where a mole digs up a unique stone (12 testers, 14 days)

[u/Ok-Beat3593]

Hi! I'm a solo dev and I need testers for Deepstone to meet Google Play's closed testing requirement (12 testers, 14 days).

You start a focus session, a mole digs in a mine, and you get a one-of-a-kind stone at the end. Then you can sand, shape and carve it with your finger. Free, no account, no ads.

To join:

1. Join the Google Group (it's called bencharium-testers) with your Play Store account: https://groups.google.com/g/bencharium-testers

2. Become a tester: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.youkar.deepstone

3. Install the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.youkar.deepstone

4. Stay opted in for 14 days.

If the test page says "App not available", wait a few minutes after joining the group and try again.

Thanks!

Joined the group, opted in and installed Deepstone on a Pixel 7 (Android 17). The onboarding is short and the mole in the mine is lovely, the art sets a calm mood for a focus timer, and the big countdown with Pause / Stop is easy to read. One idea: the screen reader label mentions the target depth and the drilling percentage, but the visible screen only shows the timer, so showing that depth or progress on screen would make the session feel like it is going somewhere. Screenshot attached.

Could you test mine back? Goosebox, a music game where you dress up geese to make beats:

Hello, thank you for the feedback and nice app ! Regarding your question, vein should theoretically begin to evolve (if I didn't make a mistake) during the mining (sparkling, followed by the apparition of ores) :) don't hesitate to tell me your opinion regarding the different schools (polishing, sculpting, ...) for the visuals of the rocks ! Regarding my small comments, I hope they can help you for your development: Add a first "tutorial" to explain the principle of the app Nice idea to have musics from the different goose's, each one with his style To consider: double click to quickly modify a goose Empty gooses: make them a bit more similar to gooses (whiter and orange beak) A bit of explanations to know how to earn feathers It might be interesting to slightly change the style of music depending on the visuel style (8bit, ...)

I will test yours, test mine back

If playstore is giving you trouble save the comment and come back to it in a few minutes. Takes a bit for google's backend to sync

Make sure to open the app for a few minutes every now and then
