    Very visually appealing at first glance. Will apply for a tester, and be keeping an eye on this game in general.

    I think we'd appreciate it if you shared a little more info regarding the gameplay. Is it a match 3 game? Or something else? So what we know whet we're in for. The visuals look ok, but I think I'll just give this a pass.

    Wow that game looks very slick! Even if I don't get selected I'm definitely getting it! I love match three and awesome artwork, and Alien Hive seems to fit the bill perfectly! :D Application sent([email protected])! Hope I can be of service. I have beta tested extensively for many devs. I provide detailed feedback (good and bad).

    Thank you. :D

    It's not just a match-3 game, but you evolve the character - Alien by matching them starting from egg, embryo to little Alien etc. and you build the Hive with the available resources as you advance to each level. We hope to receive some useful feedback from the testers.

    I like the art style an I'm a fan of the match 3 style games that have more to them than just matching I.e. puzzle craft. I would love to give this a try. Uk App Store iPhone 5. Ty.

    I find it quite difficult to get past level three, is that normal? I would have to read the rules again to get a little more used to the gameplay, so could you please include the rules from the tutorial again in the next build. Thanks
    Could you please confirm if you got my feedback? :)

    Yes, we are receiving all the feedback. Thank you!

    It should not be too difficult to get past level 3 once you figure it out. Tips: Use less energy/move to get the most combo possible and use the right power items at the right moment. We would like to hear from all beta testers about their experiences and then we will adjust the game balancing accordingly.

    There will be a help file to explain the detail and the scoring system. We hope to make it to the next build.

    We are open to any comment and suggestion. Thanks!

    I can't play your game anymore because it's not compatible with the new iPhone 5 I bought! Try to fix that please!
