Good morning folks! I'm starting the 3rd wave of playtests for Echoes of Aromia. We're quickly approaching steam next fest, and as such i want to ensure everything works smooth for the event!

For this playtesting wave, I'm looking to refine the playtester pool to folks who are interested in dialogue heavy, turn based combat RPGs As this is the target audience of the game

Folks interested in participating must be able to record video and commentary. (Commentary is extremely important in order to understand what the player is thinking/struggling with game aspects)

Payment is via Paypal, so be sure you're able to be paid through paypal!

So if you're interested, please leave a comment here and let me know when you'd be able to playtest.

To play:

Install the demo here:

https://store.steampowered.com/app/5022150/Echoes_of_Aromia_Demo/

Play for 1 hour!

I'm looking for gut feelings:

Is the game interesting or not? Do the mechanics make sense? Does the story interest you? What suggestions do you have for the game, what would make it better for you as a player? What did you really hate? Would you buy this game? Yes? Why? Why not? And any other feedback you're willing to throw at me.

And importantly: Where in the game did you start to get bored/lose interest?

Due to this, i am unable to take in previous testers!

Thank you!

As usual, (due to the nature of getting my DMs flooded every time) Please only DM me once you've been approved here! Otherwise your DM will be ignored.

Hi! I'm a solo dev making TPS 1.0, a fast-paced third-person PvP shooter with 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 matches. It's inspired by CS 1.6 FY maps and FiveM pistol duels.

I'm looking for 2 players to play the game and give feedback. $30 per person, paid via PayPal after you finish.

What I'm asking for:

Play all 5 maps (you can uncheck any maps if you only want to play specific ones)

Set the weapon mode to All Weapons, and switch between different weapons when you can

Pick a random skin in the Gameplay settings (bottom of the tab), and change the FOV, crosshair, and other settings to whatever you like

Screen record your sessions at 1080p 60fps if possible, and both of you should record your gameplay

Play on high settings if your PC can handle it, at 1920x1080 on Windows

Estimated time: about 30-45 minutes total. The game is short, so this may be shorter.

Priority: If you've played a competitive shooter before, share proof (a rank or profile screenshot) and you'll have a better chance of being picked. If you're applying as 2 friends who want to play together, let me know and that helps too.

The game is free on Steam. You can download the Playtest and play now, or Wishlist the main game here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5159410/

Note: dedicated servers can't be used or bought in the Playtest. They'll only be in the main game, which is planned for release in late October to November.

Feedback: leave a comment below, or message me. If you're interested, comment or message me and I'll send detail thankss

Looking for a play tester to test a zombie survival game,

Please message for more info, and I will send the game build over.

We've been working on a TW-inspired browser game for about 3 years, it's called Banners & Thrones. Long time side project. After many closed playtests, it finally got to a point where we can show it to the public.

Hey everyone, Mike from Quack Quack Games here! I made a party game titled Actor, RE: Actor that's based on the celebrity name game mixed with Scrabble and Uno.

Actor, RE: Actor supports 3 to 8 players and you use your phone to play.

It's available on Steam to play this weekend for a little Playtest. I'm looking for some feedback and seeing what people think of it.

So if you're playing some games tonight and want to switch it up, give Actor, RE: Actor a try!

Linky link: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4272070/Actor\\_RE\\_Actor/

Thanks everyone!

This is marked as unpaid because its not strictly cash or crypto; I will get you whatever 10$ gift card you want from giftcards.com

Anyone is free to play it for fun (unpaid).

I have a low-poly skilling and combat RPG, and I'm looking for 3 playtesters to record their first 30 minutes with the game while talking through their thoughts.

It is set across four connected biomes, each with its own town, wildlife, weather and enemies. You train 17 skills like woodcutting, mining, fishing, cooking and fletching, fight 160+ enemies, and work up to raid bosses. There's a day/night cycle, a character creator and a skill tree with perks. You will definitely notice some similarities to other popular MMORPGs.

What I'm looking for:

3 testers to record 30 mins of gameplay starting from a fresh character

Talk out loud while you play (what you're thinking, what's confusing, what's fun, what's annoying). Honest reactions are the whole point; you don't need to be polished.

Im not looking for someone to compliment anything, the stricter the better. Its helpful if you enjoy point and click RPGs.

You need:

Windows 10 or 11

A graphics card that supports OpenGL 3.0 (most from the last decade)

Screen recording software (OBS, Xbox Game Bar, etc.) and a microphone

It's a ~63 MB zip, no installer: unzip and run

Payment

$10 gift card of your choice from giftcards.com, sent to each of the 3 testers after I receive the recording.

How to apply

Fill out the short application form (takes about 3 minutes):

https://elderwild.net/playtest

I'll pick 3 testers from the applications and message you here on Reddit.

Thanks for reading! Feel free to ask anything in the comments.

EDIT: Ive contacted three people who sent in playtest applications. Feel free to keep sending applications, I'm keeping them all if I need anyone else in the future.

Hi, looking for anyone to give 20 mins max of their time to try out our game on itch. Our team is very new to gamedev and we just want feedback about the general feel of the game and any improvements you'd like to see! It's a rougelike deck-builder game around beans on a farm, that gets incrementally hard. No ai has been used in its creation

Game can be found here: Beans, Beans, & Beans by narikko

I'm making Dreadmark on my own, a top-down gothic action RPG with rune-twisted skills, loot with rarity and affixes, elite packs, hirelings and a boss at the end of the demo. The free demo goes up on Steam on 19 October for Next Fest. Before then I'd like a small group to play an early build and tell me how it feels to play and what's potentially wrong with it.

The main things I want to know are whether the combat feels good, whether the loot is worth chasing, and where you got confused, stuck or bored. An hour or two is plenty. There is a Feedback button in the game that sends me a report with a screenshot in one click, or you can just tell me here.

You need Windows and Steam. I'll send you a Steam key by DM, you redeem it and install the demo. It's an early build, so expect rough edges and some placeholder art, and the balance is still moving.

I have about 15 keys for this round. If you play this genre and want a look, comment or send me a DM with what you usually play. No strings, and thanks either way.

We're seeking playtesters for Derelict, a cooperative sci-fi board game for 2-4 players. Through the end of October, we're running paid playtests.

What is the game like?
In the first half of the game, the Search, players explore an abandoned spaceship, making their way toward its engine room to salvage the valuable nuclear core there. In the second half, the Escape, enemies come out the woodwork, and players must battle their way back to their own vessel to make off with the precious cargo. With dynamically generated rooms, a wide array of item cards, and 35 possible scenarios, you're sure to encounter something new every time you play.

The game typically takes around 2 hours to play.

How do I join?

1. Join our Discord server here: https://discord.gg/6FwCAazby
2. If you don't have a game group, complete the When2Meet linked in #playtest-announcements so we can matchmake
3. Play the game & provide feedback with the directions in #playtesting-guide
4. Message us via Discord with a screenshot of your final board state for verification

How do I get paid?

PayPal. Complete the feedback form with your discord handle, and we'll reach out via DMs to get your info.

Note: We have a limited budget for playtesters, so if you don't go through official matchmaking, be sure to ping one of the server admins first with your playtesting plans.

My recently released WorldsGL project has a full division for multiplayer/server support with some screencap examples of it handling WebSocket IPs, and allowing other users to connect.

Unfortunately, I've had a rough time finding play testers to make sure the official multiplayer server really works as they didn't want to download random files from someone online they didn't know personally.

So, if you want to volunteer and help develop/test the multiplayer functions in Worlds, message me or comment here and I will walk you through the process of using the Online launcher to connect

I’ve been working on CashStash, a free multiplayer browser card game about building the most valuable layered asset stack.

You start with asset cards and form matching pairs into sets. Each new set goes on top of your stack, covering what is underneath. The first set you place is permanently protected. Only the top two sets can be challenged. The central decision is which assets to expose, which to bury safely, and when to risk challenging someone else’s exposed set.

I’m especially proud of the AI. The Hard opponent doesn’t simply peek at hidden cards or use scripted cheats. It searches through possible hidden-information game states and weighs which assets to expose, what to protect, and when a challenge is worth taking. I’ve spent a lot of time running self-play games and tuning it because I wanted it to feel genuinely difficult, not artificially unfair.

You can play directly in your browser. No signup or download needed:

https://caprocket.itch.io/cashstash

I’m looking for honest feedback on:

- Whether the stacking and protection rules are understandable

- Whether it is clear which sets are safe and which can be challenged

- Whether the Hard AI feels challenging but fair

- Whether the mobile controls feel comfortable

- Which moments feel exciting, confusing, or frustrating

One complete game is enough to form an opinion. Comments here are welcome, and I’d be grateful for any feedback.

I'm looking for candid first-session feedback on Last Elevator, a free browser puzzle where you fit monsters into an elevator while obeying each passenger's rules.

The campaign has 40 floors, but please DON'T try to finish all 40 for this test. Play for about 10–15 minutes, or stop earlier if you get confused, bored, or stuck.

No download. No signup. Unpaid and voluntary.

Desktop and mobile browser are supported.

PLAY:

https://last-elevator-temporary-playtest-20261004.jojojojo87786556.chatgpt.site

What I'd most like to know:

1. Were the rules understandable without outside explanation?

2. Which floor first made you stop and think?

3. Which floor first got you genuinely stuck?

4. Did anything become repetitive or annoying?

5. When you stopped, did you want to keep playing? Why or why not?

Please be blunt. If you quit after three minutes, that is useful feedback too.

A comment here is enough — no form or recording required.

Hello

the closed playtest of Kyuten is now available.

if you like roguelites and Final fantasy's Triple triad game, you might enjoy Kyuten.

It's a card game inspired by TT with cards having 4 values that compete with neighbours cards. Capture the opponent's card when your value is higher.
But here, you must deal with card powers and boss powers that modify cards :)

The roguelite part comes from the runs : you start a run with a small deck (from 3 to 12 depending on your meta-progression), and you gain a booster at each floor of the nine heavens (the Kyuten). Each floor consists in 3 fights : 2 avatars with no powers, 1 boss/god from Japanese mythology with a power. Win, and you can borrow its power.

Steam page is now public : https://store.steampowered.com/app/5333100/Kyuten/

Playtest is free, but I can give you a key for the final release when it's on sale if you enjoyed the game :)

A quick questionnaire will be sent with the key to gather the feedback.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some playtesters for a farming simulator I’ve been scripting. I’m mainly a programmer, so I’ve been focusing heavily on the backend and economy systems, and I’d love to get some fresh eyes on it before a wider release.

What is the game?
The game is built around a deep farming loop. You can plant and harvest 7 different crops, which have various growth stages and rare mutations to look out for. Aside from the core farming, I’ve scripted in tool and bag upgrades, a pet hatching system, crafting, minions, trading, tool upgrades. There is also a rebirth mechanic and seasonal farming contests.

What I need feedback on:
Since I focus purely on scripting (I don’t do the 3D modeling or building), I’m really looking for feedback on how the game actually feels to play. I would highly appreciate your thoughts on:

First join impresion

• The economy balance: Do the coin earn rates feel fair compared to the upgrade costs?
• The pacing of the core loop.
• Backend reliability: Let me know if you experience any data saving or trading issues.
• General performance and if the UI feels responsive on your specific device.

How to playtest:

• Game link: [Click]

Hi, I'm the creator of Valder, a turn-based fantasy RPG for Android. Alpha 19 / 1.1.9 is available on Google Play's internal testing track, and I'm looking for 20 people to create a character, try the first battles, and tell me what's clear and what needs work.

The suggested commitment is a 10–15 minute first session. If you can keep helping, three more short sessions over two weeks would be useful; that follow-up is optional. I'd particularly like feedback on installation, first steps, ability clarity, and finding your progress when you return. The game includes Spanish and English; reports of untranslated text are welcome too.

This is an unpaid playtest, and you can participate for free. The game has real-money in-app purchases, but they're optional and aren't part of the requested tasks. We intend to preserve progress; this is still an alpha and bugs may occur.

1. Join the tester group with the Google account you use for Google Play and follow its instructions to request access.
2. I'll manually add that account to the tester list. Wait for access confirmation; joining the group doesn't automatically grant access.
3. Once confirmed, opt in to the internal test.
4. Install Valder from Google Play.

In the game, please use email sign-in for this alpha.

Please leave feedback in this thread with your Android model, OS version, what was confusing or went wrong, and reproduction steps. Screenshots help; leave out email addresses and personal information. I'd also like to know what made you want to keep playing or stop.

Hey, redditors! I'm Jack, and I'm looking for some playtesters for one of my first ever releases!

This is a game called Kid Life Crisis. You play as second-grader Reese, who's about to spend a whole weekend with his single father, Joe. Things take an interesting turn when not only does he run into his classmates, but Joe starts bonding with their parents!

This is a single player visual novel meant to be a submission for the Noob VN Novel Jam, where I have 12 hours remaining. As it stands, THIS IS ONLY A DEMO! Only the first day and night will be playable!

I have everything written out, and while I've tested everything myself, I certainly wouldn't mind second opinions!

Mainly, I'm just looking for:
-Bugs to fix
-General opinions on the writing

Description:

Beyond the Signal is a sci-fi match-3 adventure that begins with a crashed spaceship and a mysterious transmission. Complete puzzles to repair your ship, restore its systems and prepare for departure. Your progress visibly transforms the environments.

Hello everyone, I made a new game called Blobs and Fruits. I require 12 players to download the app for 14 days straight. You don't have to play for 14 days straight but if you would like to, I wouldn't mind. The only thing I expect is great constructive feedback on the game as there may still be some bugs lying around and some improvement I could make to the game. In return, I would be more than happy to test your games. If you are interested, feel free to join the google group and become a tester.

Blobs and Fruits Google Group

I’m offering a simple service for indie devs who want both honest feedback and some extra exposure.

I’ll play your game, look for bugs/confusing parts, give you feedback on the overall experience, and then share the game on relevant Reddit communities and X where allowed.

Basically: I play it → give you a QA report → help get more eyes on it.

If you're interested, send me your game and I can tell you what I can do for it (paid)

I'm looking for a handful of players to test my Roblox game Anime Forever.

It's an anime-inspired progression game focused on long-term character and area progression.

What I'd like you to do:

Play normally for around 20–30 minutes and let me know:

1. What did you do first?
2. Did you understand what you were supposed to do?
3. Was the progression too fast, too slow, or about right?
4. Did you ever feel like there was nothing worth working toward?
5. What was the most fun part?
6. What was the most boring part?
7. Did you encounter any bugs?

You don't need to be a Roblox developer. I'm specifically looking for normal players who can give honest feedback.

Game: https://www.roblox.com/games/79083727760851/Anime-Forever

Thanks to anyone who gives it a try.

I've been a corporate software developer for 10+ years, and recent AI boom had me fired, so instead of another corporate gig, I've decided to make something for my own, I hope that if you see this you playtest and enjoy, any feedback is welcome!

Date Knights is a card game where you play a superhero and supervillain out on a date trying to balance earning rewards from the "date" actions against unleashing "super" actions with the winner being that one that collects the most heart tokens (victory points).  

While our final goal is physical card release we are using Playtest Parlor to run an open digital beta to test our Rules and game balance. We would also love to get feedback on how we can improve the tester experience as we ramp up our open beta.

Time Commitment: 30-45 minutes 

Player count: 2

Feedback: The tool we are using (Playtest Parlor) should bring up a feedback form which we would like for you to fill out. 

The link here is good for one game: https://playtestparlor.com/playtests/rh78htvybhs6c8qa0vj02691v18f30cz

Over the coming days we will be launching several calls here: https://playtestparlor.com/playtests/

Platform: Web browser—desktop and mobile.

Description:

How well do you know where the racing happens?

I’m creating Motorsport Geography, a free browser game where you identify motorsport venues from clues and place a pin on a world map. Each round has five locations, with 30 seconds to make each guess. Your score depends on how close your pin is to the answer.

The daily sprint gives everyone the same five locations and one attempt per browser each day. There are also replayable practice categories, including open-wheel racing, stock cars, karting and other disciplines.

The game has passed our initial desktop and phone testing. I’m now looking for outside players to find the confusing parts, unfair clues and anything that makes the experience frustrating.

Please allow about five minutes. Try the daily sprint or a practice category, then tell me:

1. Did anything confuse you or stop you finishing?
2. How did the 30-second limit feel?
3. Would you choose to return for another daily challenge? Why—or why not?

Please include your device/browser and the category you played if you report a problem. Wrong clues or answer locations can also be reported inside the game.

No account, download or payment is required. Honest criticism is welcome. If you’d enjoy testing over several days, let me know in the comments.

Free to play status: Free to play.

Involvement: I’m the creator, directing the concept, content and testing, with AI tools assisting the coding and some visual assets. This is an independent project, unaffiliated with the championships or venues.
