r/playtesters

Solo dev here looking to get 5-10 testers for 1-1.5 hours each. I've got something between a prototype and vertical slice (no art) and want to test the fun with several people that might typically be interested in a game like this. Other feedback, bug finding, etc. will be great too but the focus is on fun validation.

It's a physics based game with a building element and everything that comes with being a modern roguelike - many upgrades, procedural generation, synergies, etc.

I am looking for play testers that are willing to test live, on camera, sharing their screen. I will be on camera too so it's less weird 😄

Payout via PayPal, distributed through steam key for playtest. Low performance requirements, Windows.

I expect to do these tests starting later this weekend throughout next week. I'll look at responses later this week and start scheduling then. Please fill out the google form for consideration!

Hey! I have developed TerraQuiz, a geography trivia/quiz game.

You can guess countries flags, identify capitals and chain borders to get from country A to B. Some game modes also have US, german and Spanish states.

There are also more game modes, such as identifying a language from its written form or deciding which counties belong to certain organizations (NATO, EU, OPEC).

I'm looking for play testers that would like to try the game. I'd like to know what you think could be improved design-wise and in terms of gameplay. I'm also open to adding more game modes, if you think they'd be interesting. The app is free and has no ads.

iOS: You can download it here. Android: You can test it by joining the Google group at terraquiz-testers@googlegroups.com and then download the app on Android by clicking here.

It’s a card game with RPG and auto-battler elements.
The demo can be played in the browser on itch.io:

Thanks!

Hey all — solo dev here looking for honest gameplay feedback.

I’ve been building Doomfall, a mobile-first artillery game designed specifically for vertical / one-hand phone play. Inspired by games like Worms and Scorched Earth, but built around fast mobile sessions and league-style progression.

I’m mainly trying to figure out:
- is the gameplay actually fun?
- does the control scheme feel intuitive on mobile?
- are matches readable on smaller screens?
- any frustrating UI, balance, or performance issues?

The game includes destructible terrain, airstrikes, environmental hazards, unlocks, multiplayer, and evolving AI rivals, but I’m less interested in promoting features and more interested in honest player reactions.

Playable here:
https://doomfall.io

(Designed primarily for phones / PWA-style play — best experienced added to your Home Screen.)

Would genuinely appreciate any feedback or criticism.

Hello i have posted this game a while back called Battlers battle against the infection but i'm not sure if there is anything i could do to it to make it better or anything that could be improved, all i want is to have some honest thoughts about the game and know if i should continue this project or not: https://onlinesoftware.itch.io/battlersdemo

I’ve been building apparish for a while now. It’s a location-based mobile game where you find and capture AI ghosts at real GPS-anchored locations, talk to them, and build relationships with them over time. The ghosts have persistent memory, so they actually remember you.

I’m past the “cool idea” stage and trying to figure out where the experience breaks.

A few things I’m especially curious about:
Does the capture loop feel fun on first play, or does it fall flat? Is there enough there to make you want to come back the next day? Does onboarding make sense in the first few minutes without me explaining anything?

I’m also curious how the ghost personalities land. Do they feel like actual characters, or does it still read too much like a chatbot?

It’s on iOS via TestFlight if anyone wants to try it: https://testflight.apple.com/join/udfF3VZj

Hello everyone. My indie game, Chamber One, is set to release in three weeks, and I want to make sure it’s in perfect technical condition. I am therefore looking for game testers who meet the following criteria:

- Have played similar games or are interested in the genre

- Have experience with 3D games

- Own a Steam account

Since this is more of a hobby project, I unfortunately cannot offer any payment. However, game testers will receive the following benefits:

- A Steam key for the game (which is normally paid) that will remain valid after release.

-Credits at the end of the game with your desired name or alias

-A big, genuine thank you from me as a solo developer :)

Please check out the store page on Steam first before taking any action.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4275250/Chamber_One/

If you’re interested and think you can support the project as a game tester, please add this Discord account [forysiumgames] and message them to let them know you’d like to participate in the game test.

Applications are open until May 3, 2026. After the test is complete, I would ask the testers to fill out a Google Forms survey; this should take no more than 5 minutes. The deadline for the feedback survey is May 9, 2026.

I thank everyone who is interested. By the way, every wishlist entry counts, even if you don’t participate in the playtest. Thank you very much :)

Ran a paid playtest through this sub last week, thanks for all the great feedback guys! This game is moving fast and I got a lot of asks for more playtest opportunities, so here it is.

A bit different from the usual playtester ask: we're running a six-week competitive playtest league (May 19 to June 30) for our turn-based hex tactics game.

How it works: play ranked matches on the ladder and climb the leagues. At the end the top 3 split a $175 cash pool ($100/$50/$25) and top finishers get exclusive one-time titles. The part that makes it a playtest and not just a tournament: any cash winner must submit a short written review of the game to be eligible for the payout, and every player is encouraged to drop feedback in our Discord any time.

Disclaimers: free in-browser beta, still in active development (expect rough edges), no entry fee, ~15 ranked games to be prize-eligible, 18+, PayPal payout. It's skill-based, not a raffle.

Play the Beta at https://ritesofaccord.com/ ...I recommend starting with the tutorial, then the ranked button is "Enter the Rites"

The Discord, where you'll find matches, free faction unlock code, and can drop feedback, is discord.gg/3wt9e8PnXU

Hey everyone!

I'm desperately trying to get people to play a game I made. (well I had the idea and had Kimi help me code)

It's a Sudoku roguelike, kind of like slay the spire.

I've never created a game so I have no clue how to get testers and I figures I would give this sub a try.

www.roguedoku.com

There's an option to get a free alpha key, it'll be emailed to you, than you just need to create an account.

There are daily challenges, zen/endless mode (like normal Sudoku) and the dungeon.

Thank in advance for anyone that helps.

Please feel free to give honest opinions and suggestions.
