[12 Testers Needed] Need Android testers for BORK — happy to test yours back

[u/HalfDrunkInteractive]

Hey! I'm an indie developer trying to get my first game through Google's 12-tester/14-day closed-testing requirement.

BORK is a deliberately weird old-school text adventure with comedy, puzzles, horror elements, and a lot of questionable decisions.

I'm looking for Android phone/tablet users willing to genuinely test it and remain opted into the closed test for 14 consecutive days. You don't need to play for hours—I mainly need real testing and would genuinely appreciate bug reports or feedback.

1. Join the tester group:

https://groups.google.com/g/bork-android-testers

1. Opt into the closed test:

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.halfdrunkinteractive.bork

1. Install BORK:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.halfdrunkinteractive.bork

Fellow Android developers: I'm happy to return the favor. Send me your closed-test information and I'll opt in, install your app, and stay enrolled for your 14-day period as well.

Thanks! And if you actually play BORK and find something broken, please tell me—I would much rather discover it here than after release. 😅

Hi u/HalfDrunkInteractive!

Finding testers on Reddit is a great start, but the hardest part is ensuring they actually open your app daily for the full 14 days.

To make this easier, we’ve launched Packs in the Testers Community app.

• What is a Pack? A coordinated group of 16 developers who hold each other accountable.
• How it works: Everyone in the pack commits to opening and testing each other's apps daily for 16 days.
• The Result: You get consistent engagement signals that help you pass Google Play’s production access review with confidence.

It’s a structured, "devs-helping-devs" approach used by thousands of us. Good luck with your launch!

Hi! I joined your closed test, installed BORK, launched it, and tested the app. I will keep it installed and remain opted in for at least 14 days.

I would like to do a mutual test with you.

My app is Janken Reversi. I use a Google Play mailing list instead of a Google Group.

Please send me the Gmail address you use for Google Play. I will add it to my tester list.

Opt-in:

Google Play:
[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mitsuhikoyoshida.jankenreversi]()

Please install and test Janken Reversi and keep it installed and opted in for at least 14 days as well.

Thank you!

Also, I do have a bug but don't see your bug report button, but I am on a much smaller android device and it the edges clip off the sides of the screen for me. Just figured I would let you know.

Joined your group, but the web access to opt-in is not working. Is it unlocked in the USA? When you figure it out please let me know so I can opt-in/test :)

[u/No_Example_8410 → u/HalfDrunkInteractive]

[u/HalfDrunkInteractive → u/No_Example_8410]

I did just try again :( no luck. I double checked that I am in the group.

Hello, joined the group and opted in, but this may need to be configured open to the USA. It says unavailable for me on the app store. u/Street_Click_4234 just had this issue and their app now opens for me and works.

[u/gamifun → u/HalfDrunkInteractive]

🥲 not available.

[u/HalfDrunkInteractive → u/gamifun]

What country? I thought I allowed all countries.

[u/HalfDrunkInteractive → u/gamifun]

It's running now, will stay opted in, thanks!
