Closed test on Google Play
Play Riposte
before everyone else
Riposte is a one-finger parry and counterattack game: tap to parry, swipe to slash, never strike first. To get onto Google Play, we need a small group of Android players to try it for two weeks and tell us what feels off.
... checking spots
What you get
- Play the whole game before launch: the chapter road, bosses, the Tower and duels.
- A direct line to the developer. What you report gets fixed in the next build, often within days.
- Your name in the Testers row of the in-game Credits, if you want it there, and a thank-you in our news.
No gems or paid rewards: this is a test build, and your progress may be reset before launch.
What we ask
- An Android phone (Android 7 or newer). iPhone cannot join this test.
- The Gmail address that is signed in to the Play Store on that phone.
- Keep the game installed for 14 days and open it a few times a week. Google counts only testers who stay that long.
- Tell us when something breaks or feels unfair: Settings, Support in the game, or reply to our email.

NewsGood to know
Why 14 days?
New developer accounts on Google Play must run a closed test with at least 12 testers who stay opted in for 14 days in a row before the game can be published for everyone.
What do you do with my email?
Only the closed test: adding you to the tester list and writing to you about it. Deleted 30 days after the test ends. Never sold, never used for ads.
Can I leave?
Yes, any time: leave the program on the Play test page and email [email protected] to delete your signup. Please tell us if you leave early, so we can invite someone from the waitlist.
Is it free?
Yes. Riposte is free to play, and joining the test costs nothing.
