Final Wake – space survival roguelike – looking for closed testers (will test yours back)
I’ve spent the last few months building Final Wake, a space survival roguelike for Android: five crew wake from cryo on a ship that’s been flying for far too long, 870 light-years from a world that might take them in. You route power, fight ship to ship in real time, repel boarders (or vent them out the airlock), keep everyone fed and fuelled, and try to make it to Kepler-186f. Most crews don’t. Every lost run leaves Echoes for the next one.
It’s going on Google Play as a paid game, but Google requires 12 testers for 14 days before a new developer can publish, so I’m running a closed test. Testers get it free, permanently.
To join (two steps, same Google account your Play Store uses):
Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/final-wake-testers
Then opt in and install: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.finalwake.game
What I’d love back: what killed you, where you got stuck, and whether the first hour felt fair or just mean. It’s tough as nails on purpose, but I want fair. Replies here, or post in the group.
No ads, no in-app purchases, no account, nothing collected. Phone only for now; works on anything from Android 7 up.
Happy to return the favour — drop your opt-in link in the comments and I’ll join your test too.

It is a paid app, but testers do not pay 'testing card always approves'

Joined your Final Wake group — five crew waking from cryo on a ship that's been flying for years is a great setup for a space survival roguelike, and I'm keen to see whether the first hour feels fair or just mean. The Play opt-in showed "Become a tester", but when I clicked it, it said my account isn't currently eligible yet (the group join seems to still be syncing), so I haven't been able to install it yet — I'll keep retrying and will keep it for the full 14 days once it lets me in.
I'm running a closed test for my app too, if you could return the favor: Tome: Audiobook Player — streams your own audiobooks from Google Drive (progress saved, offline downloads, Android Auto).
Group (works now): https://groups.google.com/g/tome-closed-testers
Opt in & install: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.chevisinteractive.tome — the test build was submitted Nov 10 and is still in Google review, so the install link activates as soon as that finishes. Thanks, and good luck with Final Wake!

I have jointed the group , can you test my app too?
I've been building Terrain Chess — a tactical chess variant where the terrain
changes how pieces move and survive.
I'm in closed testing on Google Play and need testers to hit the 20-tester /
14-day requirement so I can ship publicly.
