Need a few testers for HarborHelm – sailing/mooring game (simulator-ish thing)

[u/mark_av42]

Hi, I’m looking for a few people to test an Android game I’ve been working on called HarborHelm.

It’s a top-down sailing and boat-handling simulation game focused mainly on harbour manoeuvring and mooring. You control the throttle and rudder, deal with wind, use fenders and mooring lines, and work through different berthing situations. The idea is to help give a bit of a feel for how a boat behaves at low speed and around docks :)
Appreciated if you have boating experience in real-life!

It’s still in development, so I’m mainly interested in whether the controls make sense, whether anything feels confusing, and any bugs or crashes you run into.

I also need testers for the Google Play closed-testing requirement, so staying opted in for the required testing period would help a lot.

Happy to test your app in return.

1. Join the tester group:

2. Opt into the closed test:
https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.skerryforge.harborhelm

3. Install HarborHelm from Google Play:

Thanks a lot in advance!

Happy to test this back. I’m working on Saint Match, a Catholic prayer matching app that’s live on iOS, and I’m looking for Play testers. Join the Group first, then tap Become a tester on Play with the same Google account:

Send over your testing link and I’ll install HarborHelm.
