I spent 90+ hours creating a bacteria-themed idle game — Closed Beta Testers Wanted

Hi everyone,

I’m a French indie developer and I’ve spent the past few weeks working on my first mobile idle/clicker game: StaphiloCorp: Idle Lab.

The game has now reached its first complete closed beta version (v1.5.0), and I’m currently looking for a limited number of testers before the official Google Play release.

🧪 In StaphiloCorp, you manage a bacteria laboratory:

  • unlock machines
  • acquire mutations
  • automate production
  • progress through prestige levels

Current beta content includes:
🏭 500 machines
🦠 250 mutations
🎲 Regular in-game events that can help… or complicate your progression
🏆 328 achievements
🧑‍🔬 55 real scientists with quotes available in 4 languages
🌍 Fully translated in FR / EN / DE / ES

The game also includes:
✔ No forced ads
✔ Offline progression
✔ Integrated bug reporting system
✔ Prestige system

I’m mainly looking for feedback regarding:

  • progression balance
  • UI/UX
  • bugs
  • overall gameplay feel

If you’d like to participate in the closed beta:

👉 SIGN HERE

Selected testers will receive an email from:
📩 staphilocorp@virus-tv.fr

All selected beta testers will also be credited in-game using their chosen nickname.

Thank you to everyone willing to help improve the project 🧫

Transparency note:
AI assistance was used for parts of the promotional text, Spanish translation support, and a few administrative tasks related to Google Play registration.

However, the game itself, gameplay systems, balancing, progression, UI and code, was entirely developed by me from start to finish.
