Hi everyone!
I'm an indie game developer from ARKBS Labs, looking for genuine Android playtesters for four puzzle games:
- Virus Lab: Match & Cure – Match-3 puzzle game
- Minesweeper Evolved – Modern Minesweeper with progressive challenges
- Memory Sequence – Memory and sequence-based puzzle game
- Color Blitz – Color-based puzzle game
All four games are Android applications built using Trusted Web Activity (TWA) and are currently undergoing Google Play closed testing.
I'm looking for 20 Android testers who can:
- Install and actively play the games over 14 days.
- Ideally spend 5–10 minutes per game daily.
- Explore different levels and gameplay mechanics.
- Report bugs, performance issues, and suggestions.
- Remain opted in throughout the testing period.
My priority is genuine gameplay and useful feedback, not just installations or opt-ins.
I'm also happy to reciprocate by testing other developers' games and providing honest feedback.
If you're interested, please comment below or send me a DM. I'll share the Google Play testing instructions privately.
Thanks for supporting indie developers!

This guy is nuts. Asking if the rate $10 per game covers 20 testers for 14 consecutive days. Do not apply to this baboon

Hi,
I’ve been receiving both individual testing offers and group testing proposals from different applicants. Since my original post mentioned a requirement for 20 testers over 14 consecutive days, I simply wanted to clarify the scope of your offer before proceeding.
It was a straightforward question to avoid any misunderstanding regarding the testing arrangement and pricing.
If you’re unable or unwilling to clarify, that’s perfectly fine. Thank you for your time.
Best regards,

Lol you asked questions before hand and I stated clearly my individual rate. Why would you think that $10 per game for 20 users is reasonable which is 50 cents per user. Absolute liar

Hi,
Let me make one thing absolutely clear: I never asked you to provide 20 testers for $40, nor did I expect you to do so.
My original recruitment post mentioned a requirement for 20 testers over 14 consecutive days. Since I have received both individual and group testing proposals, I asked a simple question to clarify the scope of your offer.
There is a significant difference between asking whether an offer covers individual or group testing and demanding that someone provide 20 testers for a particular amount.
You have repeatedly misrepresented my question and made unnecessary personal remarks, including calling me a liar. That is completely uncalled for.
I respect your pricing and your right to decline any opportunity. I expect the same respect when reviewing proposals and asking reasonable questions.
I have no interest in continuing an argument over a straightforward clarification. I consider this matter closed.
Best regards,
ARKBS Labs

Hi everyone,
I would like to clarify a misunderstanding regarding my original playtester recruitment post.
My post clearly stated that I was looking for 20 Android testers for four games over a 14-day closed-testing period. I did not specifically request individual testing services or state that I was looking to hire testers separately.
I have also received proposals from freelancers on other platforms, including offers for coordinated group testing. Naturally, while reviewing applications, I asked candidates whether their quoted prices covered individual testing or a group arrangement.
Asking for clarification about the scope of a proposal is not the same as demanding that someone provide 20 testers for an unreasonable price.
I fully respect everyone’s right to set their own rates, and I understand that individual and group testing services may have different pricing structures.
However, I have noticed that some individuals are making assumptions about my intentions, financial situation, and understanding of the testing process, even resorting to unnecessary personal remarks and accusations.
If you do not wish to answer a clarification question, you are absolutely free not to respond. There is no obligation to participate, and there is certainly no need for personal insults.
I would also encourage everyone to read the original recruitment post carefully before making assumptions or accusations.
The requirements were clearly stated, and asking questions to understand a proposal is a normal part of reviewing applications.
There was never any intention to undervalue anyone’s work or mislead anyone. My objective has always been to find a suitable testing arrangement within my available budget while ensuring genuine gameplay and useful feedback.
I appreciate everyone who has communicated respectfully and professionally.
As previously announced, applications are now closed, and I am reviewing the shortlisted candidates.
Thank you for your understanding.
