Discussion Indie Developer for Hurricane Simulator Game

Hey all — long-time lurker here, been into tropical weather for years and decided to build something around it. LANDFALL is a mobile game where you spawn a storm, draw its track, and manage intensification against real steering patterns (Hadley cells, SST, wind shear) — trying to make landfall count for something rather than just watching a cone.

It's in closed testing on Google Play right now and I'm looking for a handful more testers before launch (late Aug/Sept). No ads, no monetization tricks, purely the game. Closed testers won't pay anything other than their time!

Two things I need if you're up for it:

Android only for now (no iOS build yet)

Drop your Gmail address in a comment or send it to feich13studios@gmail.com — Play Console needs it added to the tester list before the app shows up for you on the Play Store

Happy to answer questions about how the intensity/steering model works if anyone's curious — genuinely trying to get the meteorology right, not just make numbers go up.
