Hello everyone!
Thank you for your interest in Magic Animal TD! This is an indie game developed entirely by me as a solo developer. To improve the game's quality and make it enjoyable for more people, the first Playtest for Magic Animal TD is officially open for sign-ups!
This test will mainly focus on [Core Gameplay and Combat Duration]. I hope to use this opportunity to hear your valuable feedback.
Here are the details for this Playtest:

How to apply: Go to the Magic Animal TD Steam store page, scroll down to the "Join Magic Animal TD Playtest" section, and click the green "Request Access" button. I will regularly check the list and approve requests. Anyone interested is welcome to join!
Test Content & Expectations
Content Volume: This test will unlock 4 Magic Animals, 2 Heroes, 5 Levels, and 6 basic Hero Crystal effects.
Playtime: A full playthrough will take about 40 to 60 minutes (depending on whether you can clear the levels on your first try).
Expected Difficulty: Personally, I feel it's a bit challenging but manageable. I believe with your wisdom, getting 3 stars on all levels won't be a problem!
Feedback & Suggestions
If you encounter any bugs, have complaints, or want to share feedback (e.g., if you feel a level is too hard or too easy), you are highly encouraged to leave a comment directly below this post! I will read every comment carefully (though I might not reply immediately since I need to grind on the game's development!).
Finally, if you enjoy the experience, please add Magic Animal TD to your Wishlist! This not only ensures you'll be notified when the game launches, but it's also the greatest support for a solo indie developer like me!
Have fun playing!
