changedWhat is a play test?A game demo is a complete package to give a taste of what the full retail version of the game is like. A play test is less than a demo in that the content is usually more restricted, and it's much earlier in the development process. It's a way for you to try the game while we're still working on it and tell us what works for you and what doesn't. It has bugs. It may crash. But there are certainly fun things to enjoy.
addedWhat is a play test?There are many aspects to help new people all around the world try the game and make it as easy as possible for them to give feedback. So when you start the game you'll get asked if we can use anonymized metrics so we can record where you get stuck, how easy it is to clear the levels, etc. Then we pepper the game with ways to contact us when something goes wrong (or hopefully right!): a couple links to our Discord bugs channel, a way to wishlist the game, a survey where we can collect satisfaction data quantitatively, etc. And we're going to sweeten the deal by giving everyone a chance to win free copies of our other games. 🏆🥇

changedHow to get the most out of the play testPlease accept anonymized reporting when you start up the game and get to the main menu. This helps immensely and does not transmit any personally identifying information. Afterwards, try out the levels in sequence in the stage select menu. You'll get raffle ticket entries for each time you clear the final match, and be entered in leaderboard score competition.

How do I join?

Hit that "Request Access" button on the Tactichord store page (see example below)
Watch your email under the period of November 1st-10th.
Players will get access to the game in batches. Once you get the mail, you'll have at least several days to try it out before the play test period ends the game stops working so we can go back to improving it.
