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:
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.
