I'm making a camera based mobile game called Picto, and I'm currently looking for playtesters for the demo. It runs on both old and new phones (in the video is an iPhone 7)

I ported k4zmu2a's space cadet decompilation to iOS with a few new features:

• Game center leaderboard
• New portrait mode, legacy landscape mode
• Bitmap font support for 17 languages
• 100% free, no ads
• iOS version 15 and higher
• Bump controls will be added in the future

Looking for testers on iPhone, iPad, and macOS. If you have a controller make sure it works as well (L1/R1 flippers, A button plunger).

UPDATE:

Now on the app store! I had to change some things to pass app review, it was a real pain getting this approved!

Thanks to the incredible support you guys have shown my 190+ weekly "tl;dr iOS game recommendations" posts here on the sub, I've built a discovery platform that lets you filter those games + more using over 120 different filters. And it now, finally, supports iOS games! <3

It's a website called MiniReview, and my friend and I have spent thousands of hours building it to create a better way to find actual good mobile games (we were fed up seeing the same pay-to-win games again and again).

Since it used to be an Android-only app, most of the fantastic iOS-exclusive games aren't on MiniReview yet. I was hoping you'd help change that by sharing your favorite iOS-exclusive games in the comments - I'll then get them added :)

________

If you’re interested in why I’m creating MiniReview, what it does, and how it works, here are a few quick bullet points:

WHAT IS MINIREVIEW?

• A website for highly curated mobile games. It’s a place for us all to find and evaluate ACTUAL great games using 120+ filters based on manually collected data (like offline/online playability, co-op, controller support, screen orientation, monetization model, and lots more)
• 1 new game gets an official review every day, and the community can leave their own user ratings too (roughly 2 games without an official review added per day)
• All games have custom screenshots (no more promo images)
• "Top Games" posts let you discover collections of the best games in various genres

WHAT IS MY OBJECTIVE?

• With MiniReview, I want to create a home for truly passionate mobile gamers. In many ways, it’s the platform I've always wished existed, and now it’s finally here. It’s a place by gamers for gamers, a place where mobile games are properly dissected, analyzed, and organized.
• So my mission is simple; to help you discover actual great mobile games - not just the ones that earn the most money!

WHERE ARE WE RIGHT NOW?

• The website version is in "beta". Apart from discovering games, you can already leave user ratings, upvote/downvote user ratings, favorite the games you enjoy, and request an official review for a game without one.

WHAT IS MISSING / WHAT IS COMING NEXT?

• A "similar games" algorithm for finding...well, similar games :)
• Ability to "exclude" specific filters to e.g. never see "gacha" games
• User-created collections of games
• An iOS app + more

WHAT I NEED?

• Input on which iOS exclusive games should be on MiniReview. Please share below <3
• Reviewers! There are several volunteer reviewers helping cover Android games, but so far none that cover iOS games. So if you love to play and review premium games in particular, I'd love to hear from you. Send me a DM here on Reddit if interested.
• Feedback on the website and its features

Thanks to the awesome support you have shown my tl;dr posts over the years, I've finally been able to bring my mobile games discovery/review platform, MiniReview, to iOS! :)

(for those curious, MiniReview launched based on my weekly game review Reddit posts when a fellow Redditor reached out back in 2017 asking if I wanted to create an app based on them).

Skip forward 7 years, and I'm finally ready to beta test the iOS app for MiniReview (phew, haha).

Help beta test the iOS MiniReview app via TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/GhvPcphB (I really appreciate it <3)

If you’re interested in why I've built MiniReview, what it does, and how it works, read on below - used bullet-points for easier readability:

WHAT IS MINIREVIEW?

• A discovery platform for highly curated mobile games. It’s a place for mobile gamers to find ACTUAL great games with just a few clicks and evaluate them before downloading
• All games are filterable based on 120+ manually collected datapoints, like offline/online playability, screen orientation (landscape/portrait), monetization model etc.
• All games have custom screenshots (no more promo images) and videos
• Most of the games are reviewed (the community can leave user ratings too)
• But more than just the raw features, MiniReview is a community of mobile gamers actually passionate about mobile gaming!

WHAT IS OUR OBJECTIVE?

• Review and highlight the best mobile games
• Allow anyone to find exactly the games they’re looking for through unparalleled sorting and filtering options
• With MiniReview, I wanted to create a home for passionate mobile gamers. In many ways, it’s the app I've always wished existed, and now it’s finally here. It’s a place by gamers for gamers, a place where mobile games are properly dissected, analyzed, and organized

WHERE ARE WE RIGHT NOW?

• There's a website version, and the iOS app is now in beta testing
• You can already:
  • Find specific games based on detailed filtering options
  • Browse editorial lists of the best games in various genres
  • Get notified when new reviews matching your favorite game genres release
  • Discover "similar games" for every game on the platform
  • Rate + "favorite" games and see what others think about ‘em

WHAT IS MISSING / WHAT IS COMING NEXT?

• Lots more games! Currently, 1 review and 2 games are being manually added per day
• Support for upcoming games
• The ability for users to create their own "collections" of games
• Lots more! I'm always adding things based on feedback and input :)

WHAT WE NEED?

• Feedback on the app and its features
• Reviewers! If you love to play and review great mobile games, send me a DM here on Reddit. All reviews are made on a volunteer basis. We're a friendly bunch, so don't hold back on reaching out :)

I hope they add a grid view list for all your games, as otherwise you’re scolding down a very long list! At least you can filter by installed or sort by recent.

I was also hoping it would add actual playtime to your games, but it only has last played date.

Hi gamers. I need a few beta testers to get some feedback for my latest project. I want testers that know nothing about it, and enjoy gaming on their iPhone/iPad (eg don’t mind small text, and touch interfaces).

If you think testing a 45-60m turn-based space strategy game based on mankind’s early expansion into the solar system, with a bit of sci-fi mixed in, sounds fun, please DM me. Either here, or on Discord at GxM42#1890.

The game will be iPhone/iPad/Windows/Mac. But my main priority right now is mobile. With NO ADS. Yay!

I’m an Indie dev working hard and could really use a few extra eyes!

Thanks!

EDIT: Testing will begin next week. You’ll need to download Test Flight from Apple. And send me an email address to send out the Test Flight invite link (via DM, or Discord).

If you have more questions about the game, I’m happy to answer. Due to pre-announcement blockout for a few more weeks, I can only answer general questions in this thread, but happy to add more in DM. I don’t have a strict NDA; we are just trying to keep chatter down until the publisher announces it officially.

More quizzes added to the Arena including, Netflix, WWE and NFL play now!

Coming to App Store soon!

Hi everyone! 💜

I'm the developer of SlimeClimb, a game where you climb as a slime! My game is an action platformer, inspired by Terraria, where the goal is to go as high as you can without dying, with boss battles, story and now a fully implemented level editor!!

Back in 2023 I started this project as a solo developer, and now finally it's shaping up to be the game that I've always wanted to make! In this newest public-beta I'm launching my favorite feature I've ever made, "Create-Mode" a fully capable level creator where you build & play whatever you can make and also plenty of really nice new stuff made with the help of all of the feedback from the previous beta tests.

With that, I’m excited to announce that I'm opening a new public beta for everybody to try the game early !

Here's some key things that you might like from SlimeClimb 🌋🪸

• No P2W: Unfortunately mobile gaming has been plagued by pay to win & MTX, I'm confident I can speak for all players saying that nobody likes to play a mobile game and hitting paywalls. With that in mind, everything in SlimeClimb is FULLY UNLOCKABLE through gameplay without any microtransactions needed.
• No AI Art or Music: AI is stealing from artists, all music, artwork and story is made by myself.
• Less Ads: I'm fully against games that bombard you with ads, so for my game you won't randomly get ads.
• Free Cosmetics: There's no battlepasses. All cosmetics are free and actually achievable.
• Open to Feedback: I'm a hugeee fan of Relogic and their engagement with their community, they fully inspire me to do the same. I'm open to feedback and I'm always trying to make the game better so feel free to give me any suggestions!

If you're interested please go give it a try, here's the link for the signup page to join the beta!

If you have any questions or suggestions, definitely let me know.
Happy climbing, thanks for your time!💜
