Genuine question.

We're getting closer to having something playable and we need real people, not friends or family who will tell us it's great no matter what.

The kind of tester we're looking for is someone who plays idle games or tower defense on mobile, who has actual opinions, and who isn't afraid to say "this part doesn't work for me tbh."

No download link yet. Not ready for that. Just trying to understand if there's interest here before we open anything up.

If that sounds like you, drop a comment !

What kind of mobile games do you play and what usually makes you quit one after a week?

It's not the pay wall. Not the forced ad. Not even the bad update.

It's the moment you open the game and realize you don't have a decision to make.

You just have a button to press. And you press it. And nothing interesting happens. And you close it. And you never open it again.

You didn't even notice it was the last time.

The games that keep people are the ones that always leave something unresolved. A build you haven't tried. A wave you haven't beaten. A question you're still turning over.

What was the last mobile game that actually kept you coming back and what was the thing it kept leaving unresolved?

Not your favourite right now. The first one that made you understand what the genre was really about.

For a lot of people it's Kingdom Rush. For others it's Bloons, or Plants vs Zombies back in the day, or something more obscure that nobody else mentions.

Asking because we're deep into building Lost Tower and we still think about the games that shaped how we see tower defense. The ones that proved the genre could have real depth instead of just wave after wave of the same thing.

Curious what yours was ?!
