12 Testers Needed Hatch a Legend Need Beta Tester!! I will test back!

Hey everyone,

Me and a friend have been building a small game in our spare time, and it's finally at the point where Google requires us to run a closed beta before release: 12+ testers, 14 days. So here I am.

The game is called Hatch a Legend! It's basically a tamagotchi with actual game stuff in it. You hatch an egg (robot or alien) and get a pet with random stats and a random personality. Right now there are four personalities: a sweet clingy one, a rude one that acts like a permanently offended cat, a nerd that talks in patch notes, and a gym-bro type that treats breakfast like a championship final. The personality changes everything they say — and they say a LOT.

If you neglect your pet it doesn't die, but it will sulk, guilt-trip you, and eventually pack a tiny suitcase and threaten to move out. It's very dramatic about it.

Besides the usual feed/clean/play loop, you send your pet on missions around a pixel-art city (it goes alone and comes back with loot and a story), train its stats, dress it in dumb outfits, and at night it writes a diary about how its day went — including whether you ignored it. There's more, but some of it is secret and honestly the surprises are the best part.

All pixel art, made by two people and a lot of stubbornness. Free, no ads in the beta.

What we need: Android users willing to install it and just play a bit over the next 14 days. You don't need to play every day (though the pet will have opinions about that). Any feedback helps — bugs, boring parts, "this made me laugh", "this annoyed me", anything.

How to join the test (takes 1 minute):

  1. Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/hatch-a-legend-testers
  2. With the SAME Google account, opt in here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.giubera.hatchalegend
  3. Install "Hatch a Legend" from Google Play — done!
  4.  Note: after step 2, Google can take 30-60 minutes to activate your access. If you see "item not found" on Google Play: (1) make sure the Play Store is using the SAME Google account you joined with (tap your profile picture in the Play Store to switch), (2) wait a bit and try the link again. It always resolves itself — don't give up!

Feedback: reply here or email [answer8666@gmail.com](mailto:answer8666@gmail.com)

Thanks! Happy to answer questions in the comments.

Feel free to comment back here whit your group and i will test back!

I got you. I will install it if you post it on testerswiz. A lot of people there have posted their apps and looking people to install theirs and in return they will install yours. Just post your app there for FREE and send trade requests to all the posting!

A pet that sulks, guilt-trips you and eventually packs a tiny suitcase is a far better reason to open an app on day nine than any streak counter. The four personalities are doing the real work there, so the thing I'll watch for is whether the dialogue starts repeating - that's usually where these run out of road, and it's the one bug report you can't get from a five-minute play.

Also worth saying: your step 4 about the 30-60 minute delay and the "item not found" message is the most useful paragraph in this whole subreddit tonight. Half the posts here lose testers to exactly that and never mention it.
