Looking for Android Beta Testers — 16 Free Casual Games Built with Web Techgamedev

JellyBolt Games — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 14:10:43 +0000

I'm working on a bunch of casual mobile games under the name JellyBolt Games and I've hit a wall that probably sounds familiar to other indie devs here.

Google Play requires you to have at least 12 testers who've been opted in for 14 continuous days before they'll let you publish to production. But getting testers without a production listing is... well, you see the problem.

What I Built

16 lightweight casual games — puzzle, arcade, card, runner stuff. They're all built with web technologies (HTML5/JS/CSS) and wrapped for Android using Capacitor. No sketchy permissions, no data harvesting, completely free.

Here's the short list:

Archery Quest — aim and shoot targets
Asteroid Dash — dodge space debris
Battle Arena — tactical combat
Block Storm — falling blocks puzzle
Bolt Blocks — tile matching
Bolt Breaker — brick breaker
Bolt Solitaire — classic card game
Bolt Tiles — memory matching
Bounce Blitz — bouncing ball platformer
Bubble Pop — bubble shooter
Card Clash — card strategy
Color Match — color puzzle
Crystal Caves — exploration platformer
Cube Runner — endless runner
Neon Dash — fast-paced runner
JellyBolt Collection — 25-in-1 bundle

How to Help

If you've got an Android phone and a couple minutes, just tap any of these links to opt in as a closed beta tester:

Why Web Tech for Games?

I went with HTML5/JS because the turnaround is crazy fast compared to Unity or native. Capacitor handles the Android wrapping and it works surprisingly well for casual 2D games. If anyone's curious about the tech stack I'm happy to write a followup post about it.

Feedback Welcome

Found a bug? Think the UI is ugly? Want to tell me the games are bad? All good — drop a comment here or email me at tdsquadai@gmail.com. Honest feedback helps me make these better.

Thanks for reading. The indie grind is real but every tester who signs up makes a huge difference.

Looking for Android beta testers - 16 casual games need love

Hey everyone 👋

So I've been building casual games for the past few months — just HTML5/JS games wrapped for Android with Capacitor. Nothing groundbreaking, just fun little time-wasters like puzzle games, arcade shooters, card games, that kind of stuff.

The thing is, Google Play now requires you to have at least 12 testers in a closed beta for 14 days before they'll even let you publish to production. Which honestly makes sense from a quality standpoint, but when you're a small indie studio with zero marketing budget... yeah, it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem.

So here I am, asking for help. If you have an Android phone and don't mind trying out some games, I'd really appreciate it. You don't need to play them for hours or write detailed reports or anything — just opt in, install, and maybe open the game once or twice so Google counts you as an active tester.

Here are the games (pick as many as you want, or just one — every opt-in helps):
