Unpaid Playtest [Android] Looking for closed testers – Dojo Tactics, a pixel anime auto-battler (free)

Hi! I'm a solo dev building Dojo Tactics, a free strategy auto-battler with pixel anime style: draft units, build synergies, position them on the board and watch them fight. Google Play requires 12 testers for 14 days before I can launch, so I'd really appreciate help.

  1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/dojo-tactics-testers
  2. Opt in and install: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.ewo85.dojotactics
  3. Keep it installed for 14 days

Feedback is very welcome. Thanks! 🙏

Installed and played for a bit.
Honestly, the game doesn't make a welcoming impression. The sounds are piercing, the graphics are not telling, and above all, the language is not adjustable and not English by default. You probably didn't mean it that way, but I felt like you didn't care if I had fun.
From what I could descifer in my playthrough, all actions happen in distinct periods of time, which causes a lot of them to happen simultaneously. That feels robotic, not alive. Try giving each cooldown a randomisation of +/-50ms. That way each creature will act in their own schedule and the action will become more chaotic and life-like.

I'll keep it installed for two weeks. Good luck!
