    Just a question: Where should we report the bugs/problems or just our impressions about the beta?

    Both! There's about 2 weeks of development left before the first submission, so we need to clear all bugs.

    The impressions will be used to guide us for polish to do either during this period, of for the next updates.

    I'll send you an email with a list of questions about the project once the build is available :D.

    The detailled reports should be either sent to the address I'll send you the questions with, or by using the testflight report tool, or even by sending me a pm.

    But nothing prevents you from posting here if you'd like to discuss publicly about something :). Ideally we'd have a beta forum setup, but we don't atm :/.

    Actually it might be soon, unless we run into something unexpected. It looks like we resolved most important issues on iPad, so we're mostly testing now, before preparing the build.

    We would have liked to polish the tutorial a bit more, but this will have to wait I think.

    There has already been a beta for this game. I was chosen as an alpha tester but beta and alpha are basically the same thing.

    Ah, thanks for the heads up! I wasn't sure, I just signed on recently. I know what you mean because I'm currently doing beta for a game that is going to have 4-5 betas before release. We're on number 3.

    The alpha started over a month ago I think, but now we're almost features locked (the main features of the games are into place) so we can officially call it a beta yay :D

    The build is uploading on testflight btw. I'll just test it before sending out the emails (just in case).

    The build is ready, the emails are away :D

    I'll follow up tonight with a list of 'focus group' questions by emails.

    We hope you enjoy the game!

    I'm having fun with the game so far.

    I copied the beta feedback questions into notepad and i update it constantly with my expressions, ideas, ect :)

    I'll send it back after i'm done testing everything in the game and played it enough :)

    No rush! There's about 2 weeks left so its better to take your take to play the game before answering. Reports coming in 1 week will have a chance to have an impact on release, late reports will be helpful for the next updates.

    I should also mention that since we had an amazing response from people, we're now full and can't take any more testers in.

    Thanks everyone for all the awesome comments you sent so far, keep them coming!

    Thanks! I wish we could say yes, but we're full :(

    Things are going great with the next beta build though. Hopefully this weekend we'll be able to submit a new beta build with several new very funny death animations, a new way to indicate endless objectives and a lot of tweaks here and there :D.
