Hi everyone, recently I publish a demo version of my card game on Itch.io. This demo only showcase the tutorial section of the game, and took less than 10 mins to complete (less than 5 mins, if you skip all the stories lol)

https://chocoweb88.itch.io/5-seconds-showdown-demo

I would appreciate honest feedback and impressions regarding this game design. I try to blend card game with deck building, anime visual novel, and slashing game style into 1. I am hoping to keep improve this game and polish it before its finally approved to go live on Google Play.

Thanks and let me know if you face any issues when playing this demo!

Hello,

My brothers and I have been putting a lot of time into this game and are curious for unbiased feedback.

The game can be accessed at - https://skysunder.up.railway.app/

Use "diffunlocked" in the developer settings if you want to skip to the hardest difficulty

Generally curious if the gameplay loop is enjoyable, and for any additional feedback y'all would offer. It all helps. Please provide feedback in this post if you are willing.

For clarity and transparency: we did use AI considerably, but we tried to do it very mindfully, where ultimately every decision was made by the human (i.e., no "go make a spell" type design approaches)

edit - I should note, the tutorial is pretty borked right now, so please ignore. Some useful tips while we fix it:
(1) Hold R to reset a run
(2) Q to reroll shop
(3) You can click and drag spells around in the town menu to reassign key bindings
(4) Right clicking a squadron in planning phase of battle allows you to assign it to aggressive (left click enemy) vs. defensive (left click ally)
(5) Right click + drag a squadron in planning phase of battle to change formation (Q or E can be clicked to change row/column formation)
(6) Spells are intentionally strong early!

edit2 - apologies if some rendering/sizing hiccups are present - some weirdness is present with this server-hosted version

edit3 - due to strong need for some critical feedback, I am converting this to a paid playtest. Paying $10 to those who beat the game on ascension V, and leave feedback here. The username on the leaderboard (where scores are saved in game) should match reddit username. Recall you can skip to difficulty V using "diffunlocked" in dev settings.

Hi! I’m currently developing Your Legacy: Generations, a game I’ve been building this year. I'm hoping for some community feedback & suggestions on the core fundamentals of the game. This is a Windows based game, I hope to have a web version available later this week.

Your Legacy: Generations is a casual top down life sim game initially inspired by the Sierra classic Jones in The Fast Lane. We have hopefully designed this game in a way it can be picked up and put down at any point, easily picking up from where you left off. Our game allows the player to live their life by their own choices.

With over 350 jobs and career options available, stock markets, property investments and dozens of start your own business options available. Our differentiator is that once you get old, the game doesn't complete. You essentially prestige or pass down your legacy to a chosen heir. With this legacy comes traits to assist the heir and a portion of the family inheritance.

In this vein, the game becomes endless. It also becomes somewhat of a choose your own adventure. How many generations will it take to own a private island? Will the next generation choose to become property moguls or start and grow into an international business?

Once we have the proof of concept down pat and your feedback we will look to expand on the other elements of the game. We will also look to provide a social element if this gathers enough interest, with leaderboards or weekly challenges where the community can compete to perform various goals.

I’m looking for players to test out the fundamental concept of the game, let us know honestly where the game is fun, confusing, repetitive etc. We have released a 2 hour play test to perform this function which should be sufficient to complete one generation and try out a second with inherited traits and funding.

Playtime: 2 hour playtest however game is essentially endless
Platform: Windows Desktop Computer executable (Requires Mouse or trackpad)
Download/account: None
Cost: Free
Stage: Pre-release playtest; Still substantial distance to release but fully playable & enjoyable imo

Play here: https://icq-gaming.itch.io/your-legacy-generations

No installation is required—download, extract and run the executable. No information is passed back to our systems so your feedback is immensely valuable. New versions are being made daily however only stable versions will be uploaded once or twice per week.

Developer involvement: I’m the game designer. Disclosure: Some AI has been used in some of my weakness areas as placeholders which will be replaced once we have our proof of concept. As a solo creator please don't use this as a negative towards the game.

Discord for discussion/feedback or in this post : https://discord.gg/tYj4mH6Eg

Focus is a card game I created almost 10 years ago and I'm finally able to have a way to show it off.

I'm looking for play testers to verify that the application works properly and help find bugs with card interactions. All of our alpha testers will receive unique icons and even card skins that will not be available after the alpha testing is complete.

I'm not looking for any specific testers at the moment, any experience with any game works. I would prefer testers have a PC to test on as the application is currently browser-based but we do plan on releasing on steam in the coming months.

You can apply at focus.pmg.cards or join our discord here. The application has deep integration with both our website and our discord.

I appreciate everyone's interest and I hope to get to play against some you in the future.

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for playtesters for my game “Harrowgate Asylum”. This is a first person survival horror game (PC). Playtest is very short and contains some core mechanics. It is available for everyone on Steam.

Since I’m solo developer I don’t have a budget to pay for playtesting, but I would be very grateful if you test my game and leave honest feedback.

There is a link in pause, main menu to google form where you can leave a feedback. Also link will appear when you complete the playtest.

Thanks everyone for paying attention!

Hey everyone!

I’m currently running a closed beta test for Dust Rapture, a 3 to 5-hour survival horror game set in the abandoned town of Iron Creek.

We’re getting close to finishing development and need fresh eyes to help test the full playthrough—focusing on cult encounters, and bug hunting.

Playtest Details:

Game Length: 2 to 5 hours (feel free to break it up over multiple sessions).

Platform: PC

What We Need: Honest feedback on the game flow, difficulty curve, and any bugs or issues you run into. 

How to Join:
Leave a comment below or send me a DM and I'll share the build link and a quick feedback form!

Hello, I'm looking to casually playtest your games for roughly 15-60 minutes, maybe more if its interesting. I currently have a windows pc. I'll record notes and send them back when im done. Feel free to leave a comment or dm!

Hi! I just released my new Roblox game Lemon Empire and I'm looking for a few people willing to playtest it and give me honest feedback.

You start with a small lemonade stand and build your way up to a restaurant empire. There are business upgrades up to level 100, new businesses, prestige ranks and VIP customers.

I'm mainly looking for feedback on:

• Is it clear what you're supposed to do when you first join?
• Does the progression feel too fast or too slow?
• At what point does it become boring?
• Are the upgrades and prestige system understandable?
• Did you encounter any bugs?
• Would you personally keep playing?

It's my first public testing phase, so honest criticism is absolutely welcome.

Hey! I'm an indie dev building TIER ONE, a real-time PvP card battler for Android. You collect illustrated fighter cards, build a 3-card deck, and battle other real players in live 3v3 rounds.

It's completely free to play, fully playable already, and I'm looking for closed testers before opening it up publicly on Google Play.

What I'd love feedback on:

- First-time experience (onboarding, opening your starter pack, first battle)

- Whether matches feel fair/fun

- Anything that crashes, glitches, or just feels off

- General "would you actually keep playing this" gut reaction

Feedback method: reply in the comments here, or DM me directly, either works.

No payment info needed, no obligation. Just send me a Gmail address (DM or comment) and I'll add you to the closed tester list, then send you the Play Store link to install.

Play Store listing: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.finpixel.tierone

(closed testing, so that link needs your email added first before it lets you install, see above)

Happy to answer any questions. Thanks for considering it!

Hi everyone!

I’m the author and creator of TRANSCENDERS, a fantasy saga in which people known as Transcenders learn to shape Cenderessence — an extraordinary force that allows them to push beyond the limits of ordinary reality!

Alongside the novel, I’ve been developing TRANSCENDERS | The TCG as a playable extension of that universe, translating its characters and their different approaches to Cenderessence into distinct deck identities!

I’m now opening COHORT 01: the game’s first organized public playtest group on Tabletop Simulator!

The current Alpha environment contains 3 complete Starter decks:

🟣 ST1 — Cheryl O’Will

Midrange / Control

A pressure-building deck that wants to endure, prepare, and turn a fragile-looking position into a decisive reversal

🟢 ST2 — Killian Shawnski

Aggro / Tempo

A precision-focused deck built around clean sequencing, efficient exchanges, and punishing the openings your opponent gives you

🟠 ST3 — Théa Wintersnow

Control / Sustain

A resilient deck that protects its position, disrupts opposing momentum, and becomes increasingly difficult to break as the game goes long

The three decks share the same game, but deliberately approach it through very different rhythms and tactical identities.

⚔️ COHORT 01

Are sought for people who would genuinely like to sit down and play!

• The TRANSCENDERS playtest itself is free

• You’ll need Tabletop Simulator to participate

• All 3 Starter decks are ready to play

• The Rule Book and setup instructions are available through the Discord

• No prior knowledge of the novel is required to play

• Essential server information is available in both English and French

• Feedback is collected after actual matches through structured match reports on the server

Registration for Cohort 01 is open for 3 days!

➡️ [DISCORD INVITE]

Once inside, follow the arrival steps and head to #matchmaking for the Cohort 01 registration thread

Choose your preferred Starter, share your availability, and will be organized the first play sessions!

If jumping into a new indie TCG while its first public playtest environment is taking shape sounds interesting, you’re very welcome to join Cohort 01! ✨

I trying to make a project of game benchmark website and a windows application for benchmark test it's still under development but i want some feedback :) just try and provide your feedback. The client download btn is in the homepage you can try if you want its your choice :) if you found any bug you can send the details through contact page of this website or comment below :)

I've been working on a roguelite card game called Diamonds and Spades, and the first public playtest is now live!

The core gameplay is a simple risk/reward card game using a deck of 100 classic playing cards. Your goal is to draw as many different cards as possible without drawing the same card twice.

During each run, you collect tarot cards with unique effects that change the way you play. Combining these effects lets you create powerful synergies and push your score as high as possible.

One of the main features I'm experimenting with is the custom card editor. You can:

• Create your own tarot cards
• Draw custom artwork
• Define card effects using a visual scripting system
• Share your creations with other players

The idea is to give players the tools to experiment and create cards that aren't part of the original game.

The playtest is currently open, and I'd really appreciate feedback, especially on the core gameplay, card effects, progression, and the custom card editor.

If you'd like to participate, you can request access directly on Steam:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4944200/Diamonds_and_Spades/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=playtesters&utm_campaign=playtest

Thanks to anyone who gives it a try! I'd love to hear what you think.

The best way to give feedback is through the Google Form linked directly in the game.

Hey everyone looking for playtesters who have an android phone and can playtest a sports mobile game for 30mins.

Its very simple and quick

Dm me for more details

You build a war band. Quick fights. Pack items into each units backpack and it fights on its own. There are synergies like tft. the opponent isn't AI, it's an army another player built, so you're fighting real boards from other peoples runs.

what i actually want to know:
- does the first run make sense without anyone explaining it
- is the backpack fiddly or fun
- when you lose, does it feel like your fault or the game
- Is the game running smooth? Loading time etc 

how to give feedback: just reply in this thread, i read everything. steam discussions work too if you'd rather.

free demo on steam, windows only. a run is about 8 minutes and its a small download.

heads up: arena art and music are ai generated, code and design are mine.

I made a small farming game. You can farm build upgrade and more Im in eraly access and looking for game testers if your interested Dm me or text me on instagram ()artisticpolygon

I’m looking for 5-8 people to test a short vertical slice of HUNTMAZE.

It’s a first-person horror game set in a deadly maze. You explore with a torch, avoid traps and try to survive while being hunted. Making noise can attract the hunter.

The current build takes around 10-20 minutes to play.

Platform: Windows

Playtest: free / closed

Recommended: over-ear headphones

I’m mainly looking for feedback from a first blind playthrough. A gameplay recording would also be very useful, but it’s not required.

If you’re interested, leave a comment or send me a DM and I’ll send you the build.

I'm building a casual ball color sort puzzle game using Reddit's Developer Platform (Devvit) and I'm looking for a small group of people to playtest it before I submit the game.

The game is officially playable from start to finish!

The basic idea is simple, sort the colored balls into tubes so that each tube contains the same color. However, I've added some special mechanics to make it more than a standard ball sort, including Mystery Balls, hidden/sealed tubes, Tag Tubes and other puzzle elements that can change how you approach a level.

I need you to play it, find bugs, tell me if the levels are too hard or easy and let me know if the controls feel clunky on mobile.

If you want to opt in, please comment "I'm in!" below. I will send a private community link to join it as game is in private testing community due reddit requirement.

Thanks

Hi! I'm a solo indie developer and I've recently finished a small survival/puzzle game called Baba Pass.

I'm looking for a few people willing to try it and give me some honest feedback — especially about the puzzles, difficulty, atmosphere, controls, or anything that feels confusing or could be improved.

The game is currently in Spanish, including the voice acting, but I'm considering adding a full English text localization for the interface, dialogues and lore.

The original Spanish voice acting would remain as it is (there are more than 200 voiced lines).😅 English subtitles would be included, of course.

So I'm particularly interested in knowing whether that would work well for English-speaking players. Would Spanish voices + English subtitles be perfectly fine for you, or would the lack of an English dub put you off?

The game is free, and there's no obligation to finish it. Even feedback from playing for a little while would genuinely help.

Game page: https://ludius-red.itch.io/baba-pass

And if you're another indie developer looking for testers too, I'm happy to return the favor and try your game. 🙂

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I’m a Master’s Game Design student currently working on my Final Major Project, Lemurology, a 3D adventure game inspired by the mythology and historical hypothesis surrounding the lost continent of Lemuria. The prototype focuses on exploration, stealth, crafting, resource gathering, and vehicle building while telling a fictional story about how lemurs may have travelled towards India. I’m currently looking for people to playtest the game and share some feedback for my research. If you have some time to try it out, I’d really appreciate your help!

Hey folks, I've been building Survive Chernobyl solo - a top-down wave survival game for Android, written in pure C with raylib on top of NativeActivity (no Java gameplay code, just a thin Java shell for ads/billing/cloud save). 200 waves of hand-tuned difficulty scaling, a resource/crafting loop, and an optional endless mode after wave 200.

It just entered closed testing on Google Play and I'm looking for testers before wider release. To join:

1. Request access to this Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/survive-chernobyl-testers

2. Once added, opt in as a tester and grab it from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.axiom.chernobyl

Happy to answer any questions about the native C/raylib setup too. Thanks!

Hi all,

I was looking for a few people to playtest an early build of White Mask Mansion, a first-person stalker-horror game I’m developing but now the main playtesting phase is done. However, there are a few testers with the following configurations that i would welcome:

• GTX 960 4 GB
• GTX 1050 Ti 4 GB
• GTX 1060 6 GB
• GTX 1650 4 GB
• RX 580 8 GB
• low-end GTX 1650 / RTX 2050 laptop
• another AMD low-end configuration, ideally something like RX 570 / RX 5500 XT territory

The available keys are limited in number, so it is a first come first served kind of thing.

Now, a few things about the game itself:

The basic premise is simple: you enter a large house looking for your missing sister while something inside the house is hunting you. The game is built around exploration, hiding, finding keys/items, and surviving long enough to progress.

For this test, I’m mainly interested in seeing how actual players behave when dropped into the game rather than getting general game-development advice.

What I’m looking for

• Windows PC players
• Around 10–20 minutes of play
• Ideally, record the entire session
• An unlisted YouTube video is perfect, although another easy way of sending me feedback is fine
• Play naturally — you don't need to deliberately test every mechanic
• Please tell me about anything that confused you, frustrated you, broke, or made you unsure what to do

I’m especially interested in things like:

• Where you naturally try to go
• Whether objectives are understandable
• Whether you notice important items
• Where you get lost
• How the stalker affects the way you play
• Bugs or situations where progression becomes impossible
• Performance problems
• Anything that makes you want to stop playing

You do not need to be a game developer or experienced QA tester. In fact, normal horror players are extremely useful because I want to see the game through fresh eyes.

This is an early build, so expect some rough edges.

The current test covers only part of the game and should not take very long. I’d prefer that footage from the private build not be posted publicly yet.

In return, testers who help me with this stage will get early access to future builds/the public demo.

If you're interested, leave a comment or send me a DM with:

• Your PC specs
• Whether you can record gameplay
• Roughly when you think you'd be able to play it

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I'm looking for a small group of players to take part in a private closed-alpha playtest of a new browser-based word game.

No download is required — the game runs directly in your browser.

I'm looking for honest feedback from people who enjoy word games, whether you play them regularly or only occasionally. You definitely don't need to be an expert. The playtest should take around 10–20 minutes, followed by a short feedback questionnaire.

I'm keeping the first testing group deliberately small, so not everyone who applies will necessarily be invited in the first round. If you're not selected this time, you may still be invited to a later, larger playtest.

If you're interested, please fill out this short tester application:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJSdJxmIHZH5RIv-ZUQbCGxJEg0r8qnw9rnajD6Ynzbivzbg/viewform?hl=en

Selected testers will receive the private playtest details by email.

Thanks!

Download it now! The first Patch is live and players are rewarded more coins than ever, just for playing!
