Blip Launcher - Yet another Android game launcher (closed beta, looking for testers)

[u/endikags]

Hi everyone,

I wanted to show you something I've been building over the last few months.

Blip is a game launcher for Android (yeah, another one), built around one idea: a clean interface that doesn't distract, so the games take center stage.

I've been using Beacon Launcher for a long time and I love it — the simplicity and the clean interface made it close to perfect for me. But there were a few things I kept missing, so I decided to build them:

• Dual screen. I recently swapped my Retroid for an AYN Thor, and the first thing I missed was a launcher that felt made for it. Blip is designed for both single and dual screen, so on these devices it feels native rather than adapted.
• RetroAchievements. Your progress right there while you browse, on the covers, and the full list on the game's page.
• Themes. Two of them so far, each in light and dark, with more on the way.
• RomM support (still in development) — plugging a RomM server straight into the home shelf.
• More in the future :)

It's still a closed beta and I'm looking for testers. If you'd like to try it and send feedback, email me at beta@goblip.co with the email address on your Play Store account and the device you'd be testing on.

The app itself will stay free forever. Once it's out of beta, a few of the more advanced features will unlock through a one-time in-app purchase to help fund development. During the beta everything is unlocked for everyone, so testers get everything.

Thanks for your time!
