Update on Handball Manager Mobile: We made it to Open Testing on Google Play!

Update on Handball Manager Mobile: We made it to Open Testing on Google Play!

A while ago, I posted here asking for closed testers to help get my handball mobile game off the ground. Huge thank you to everyone from this community who reached out and helped out during that phase!

I've got a major update: we've officially moved past closed testing, and Handball Manager Mobile is now live in Open Testing (Early Access) on Google Play! That means no more sending me your Gmail addresses or waiting for invite links, as anyone with an Android device can download it directly today.

Since my last post, the game has grown significantly. We've now got 12 countries with almost 30 competitions to take part in total, leading up to about 2500 players with real data!

Feel free to get it here or by typing "Handball Manager" on the Play Store (and looking for the app with the dark background and a red logo :) )

Since the game is in Early Access, your feedback is crucial. If you run into any bugs, have suggestions for feature improvements, or want to share team/player balancing feedback, you can submit it directly through Google Play (it goes straight to my inbox) or directly message me here.

In the following period I'll be working on adding the EHF competitions, hence why you might notice players from countries such as Sweden having absurdly high ratings. This is because by testing the EHF competitions and basing myself on EHF coefficients, I'll be able to balance out the leagues and their player's attributes.

Thanks in advance and I'm eagerly waiting on your feedback!

Help my brand new handball mobile game get launched!

It has been too long since the handball community has had an up-to-date game. Therefore, for the last couple of months, I've been developing Handball Manager - highly inspired from the Football Manager franchise, after noticing the slight lack of games for this sport, despite its massive following. While the game was initially meant for PC/laptop (Steam), Google Play was a more accessible service, enabling me to create a mobile port for it and start along the road of launching it.

The game currently has 4 leagues present (Denmark, France, Hungary and Romania, with more on the way, as well as the EHF competitions), with real players and data from the 2025/2026 season (though this might be a problem later, I still don't regret putting this much work into making this data). As I said, Handball Manager is a management game - so you create your manager, pick a league, pick your desired club, and then start the season! You can make transfers, renew contracts, grow your youth players, manage your finances, play matches in real-time (or sped-up), and much more!

The current phase is "closed testing". What that means is I need 12 testers (or more, no limit to it) to install the game from Google Play (so unfortunately, only Android users :( ), and keep it on their devices - so don't uninstall it - for a couple of weeks.

What do I need from you then? If you're a passionate handball fan and want to check my game out and help me at the same time, message me your gmail address that you're also using for Google Play, I will give you a link for you to accept becoming a tester, and then you shall be able to download the game from the Play Store and check it out!

After downloading the game, give it a shot and you can write to my gmail address (which you'll find in the game's Play Store page) any suggestions, feedback or bugs you find.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
