Beta testers for "Grape Me Not"

edited November -1 in Announce Your Game!
Hi everyone,

my game will soon be out on the App Store and I'm currently looking for beta-testers. I prefer testers with iPad 1 but basically everyone is welcome.
Just to be clear: no iPhone/iPod - only iPad 1 or iPad 2!

Game background:
I wanted to do something different from the physics-based games and the Angry Birds clones that seem to be popular.
This autumn I've had a fierce battle with a gang of tiny bugs in my garden, so I decided to adapt this into a game.

When you're tired or need something to brighten you up (especially in this season), play "Grape Me Not" for a bunch of giggles.
You don't have to think too much, it's easy to play and relaxing fun.
The game is non-violent (except for the drop-grape-on-bug part), so little kids and big kids can enjoy it.

The game and its name:
Harvest time - bugs have joined in and try to climb up and eat your treasured grapes.
The ironic solution -> drop grapes on their heads and gravity will do the rest!
"Grape Me Not" is perhaps what the bugs would say if they could talk.

Instructions:
Tap the screen to grow grapes, they drop when ripe. You can only grow a limited amount of grapes at once. Every used grape counts negative against your score. Be careful not to run out of grapes. Bonus items support you in your cause.

Enough of the babble, get the iPad demo here!
Open this link http://tflig.ht/usVF9D from your iPad. Alternatively enter your e-mail address and read your e-mail on your iPad. You should then be able to install the app on your device.

The full version will have a lot more features. The purpose of the demo is to see how it works on older iPads and how people rate my game. Bug reports (pun intended) are welcome too.

Please let me know what you think or if there are any issues. And don't expect too much, this is my first game and I'm not experienced in graphics or game design.

Note: The demo will expire after 7 days, that is at the turn of this month.

    Hey not everyone at once!
    Ok, seriously - not a single comment?
    Did I post this in the wrong section?

    I can test it. I have iPad 2.
  • MantoManto Member Posts: 796
    Ahh I can't install it on iPad 2.
  • balsamicodebalsamicode Member Posts: 36
    Thank you for trying, very kind of you.
    Why doesn't it work? Error message?
  • SpinningnutmegSpinningnutmeg Member Posts: 107
    I tried to install it for you but you need to accept iPads with wifi... It will not let me... Other wise I'll beta test.

    Edit: on iPad 2 with wifi and iOS 5.0.1

    The site says: "This device cannot install this build. iPad 2 GSM has not given permission to install this build. TestFlight will notify you when your developer permits this device to install future builds.

    This iPad 2 GSM has not been added to the application profile. TestFlight will notify you when your developer adds this device to future builds."

    Please accept iPad 2 GSM too :)
  • SpinningnutmegSpinningnutmeg Member Posts: 107
    Same with me. But mine says "This iPad 2 Wi-Fi has not been given permission to install this build. TestFlight will notify you when your developer permits this device to install future builds."

    It doesn't work on iPhone 3gs or 4 either.

    That's because it is an iPad app....

    I know but I tested anyway :)

    Strange, I don't see you guys in my testflight account. If you open the URL http://tflig.ht/tHsfxd on your iPad, you should be able to register your device.

    I just found out it's a bit complicated with TestFlight. After your devices are registered, I have to include them and rebuild the game. TestFlight notifies you by e-mail when the new build is ready for download. Sorry for that!

    You can also send me your iPad UUID in a private message, but this might take longer as I have to do everything manually (TestFlight makes this part easier).

    How to find the UUID:

    Haha, would be awesome if it worked on iPhones.
    I accept everyone for beta test, but first your device must be registered via TestFlight (or you send me your UUID in a PM). Thanks again and sorry for the trouble.
  • SpinningnutmegSpinningnutmeg Member Posts: 107
    I thought that with the link that you send us has a sign up form. Because we are just going straight to the install.

    No problem. It'll be fun to test :)

    Oh man, my bad!! (>_<)
    Gave you the wrong URL, SORRY! m(_ _)m

    You can register here: http://tflig.ht/sq4Dl4
  • SpinningnutmegSpinningnutmeg Member Posts: 107
    Awesome you got it.
  • balsamicodebalsamicode Member Posts: 36
    Yep you guys are of course right, I did confuse the URLs. It's been a long week and not much sleep...
  • MantoManto Member Posts: 796
    So you got it working? I can't get mine...
  • SpinningnutmegSpinningnutmeg Member Posts: 107
    Nope.
  • SpinningnutmegSpinningnutmeg Member Posts: 107
    Wait yes I did balsamicode needs to add my device to the provisioning profile.
  • balsamicodebalsamicode Member Posts: 36
    Ok got 5 inquiries but only 2 devices registered. 3 others did not have a UUID included. Please make sure you open the link on your iPad and not on your PC. The demo should run on any iPad1 or 2, doesn't matter whether it's WiFi or GSM.

    I should be in bed cause it's really really late. But I'll quickly make a new build for the 2 devices, so you can test right away.

    It works! Yay! :)
  • balsamicodebalsamicode Member Posts: 36
    Hey guys, was busy building the demo with your UUIDs. You should all have mail now from TestFlight. Thanks a lot - and I will certainly not share your UUIDs.

    Please post comments, bug reports (haha) and everything else here in this thread.

    Enjoy!
