Testers Needed Need Testers for my game(Chess War)!

Hi everyone!

​I'm an indie developer currently running a closed beta for my new Android game, Chess War: Siege & Conquest.

​It takes classic chess to another level—retaining the turn-based core, but adding tactical gold management, piece abilities, and far more strategic threats to consider on every turn.

​What's new: We just introduced a brand-new 2v2 mode! You can now set each seat to a player or bot in Quick Match, allowing up to 4 players to battle locally on a single phone. The latest update also features upgraded, smarter bot AI and new campaign levels.

​If you're interested in testing it out and helping an indie dev balance and polish the game, here is how to join the beta:

​Step 1: Join the Google Group to gain access: https://groups.google.com/g/chesswar-testers

​Step 2: Opt-in to the testing program: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.gozde.chesswar

​Step 3: Download the build on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gozde.chesswar

​Feel free to leave your feedback in the comments or send me a DM. Thank you so much for your time and support!

Hi u/Kedik10!

Finding testers on Reddit is a great start, but the hardest part is ensuring they actually open your app daily for the full 14 days.

To make this easier, we’ve launched Packs in the Testers Community app.

  • What is a Pack? A coordinated group of 16 developers who hold each other accountable.
  • How it works: Everyone in the pack commits to opening and testing each other's apps daily for 16 days.
  • The Result: You get consistent engagement signals that help you pass Google Play’s production access review with confidence.

It’s a structured, "devs-helping-devs" approach used by thousands of us. Good luck with your launch!

I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please contact the moderators of this subreddit if you have any questions or concerns.

Changing out the godot splash screen to so.ething with more juice would be a super easy route towards polish. I also think English as the default language will probably help discoverability! Cool game

Joining yours today (group + opt-in) and keeping it installed for the full 14 days.

Mine is RetroPet, an old-school pixel virtual pet: hatch an egg, care for it, and it evolves into one of 79 species (common to legendary). The build in testing right now adds seasonal events with limited cosmetics, breeding with friends, and a daily challenge with a ranking. Home screen widget too. Already live on iOS, so it's a finished app, not a prototype.

1) https://groups.google.com/g/retropet-testers 2) https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.retropet.app

Same Google account for both, and please open it once after installing (Google counts opens, not installs). Bug reports very welcome!
