    Hello!

    Okay so maybe a little misleading in the title but attaching here the rejection letter i received as a 10 year old for a game idea I conceived and wrote a 50 page document for. Don't cry for me (i did enough of that myself - jokes), i was just happy i got a letter back.

    I'm now finally making a real game 23 years later, we are so close to release, and i feel its a culmination of a dream i've harboured for a very long time...

    So would REALLY like it if anyone wants to beta test my game. You can check out some early screenshots here here. Its a fun, old school platform type game (NOT an endless runner) and features a unique game mechanic.

    Anyway please email me at [email protected] if interested....

    Cheers
    Lloyd

    This thread should be moved to the upcoming games section. The game looks quite interesting actually. I'll try to apply to the beta at some point today. Good luck with the development!

    will move to upcoming games

    Aha ... good point. I didnt see the upcoming section for iphone games, only saw the ipad one. We are releasing on ipad too but since i dont own one, i always think of our game as an iphone game. Will work out how to move the post.

    thanks

    Thanks Connector, i'm hoping its awesome too. My friends have commented 'its addictive' so far, and i had a funny little interaction with a friend of a friend the other day. He played the game briefly on a Friday and liked it, then I bumped into him again on a Monday, and he just wanted to play the game again. Said he had been thinking about it all weekend. I guess thats a good sign :)

    A mod will hopefully see this and move everything for you. For future reference, unless a game is iPad only, you should probably put it in the iPhone section, because it gets viewed more. (It's also known that universal games go there, so it's better to put it there when you make a thread when the game comes out)

    I'd be happy to help your dream come true and test this. Love platformers. iPhone 5 and iPad 4 are my devices.

    I hope everything goes well, I would be interested to see one imps from the beta testers once they've had it for a little while!

    That Sunsoft letter brought back some really old memories! They had so many NES and Sega Genesis games.

    I'd be glad to help. I have an iPhone 4S with iOS 7, and an iPad Mini with iOS 6.
