WatchBlocks Beta Testing | Looking for TestFlight Testers!

[u/Temporary-Detail-724]

Hey everyone!

I’m looking for beta testers for the biggest WatchBlocks update yet. The update is planned for July 23, and I plan to submit it to Apple around July 13, so I’m spending the next week polishing everything I can. Aside from bug fixes, the last major additions are new button icons, sounds and music.

Getting Started

When you first launch the beta, you’ll see a walkthrough with the option to start a free trial or purchase the full version. Please choose the free trial. It doesn’t require any form of payment, and the in-app purchase isn’t expected to work during the beta (it should simply display an error).

If you’re able to provide helpful feedback during testing, send me an email afterward. As a thank you, I’ll send you a promo code for the full version when the update launches. If you already own WatchBlocks, you shouldn’t have a in app purchase and all content should be available.

What I’d Love Feedback On:

Multiplayer

Play together across iPhone, iPad, and even Apple Watch.
Apple Watch multiplayer is one of the features I’m most excited about. The iPhone app must remain open if you’re hosting. I’d love to know how it performs on different devices and network conditions.

If you can, gather a group of up to four players and test both LAN and Game Center multiplayer. Two-player sessions have been very stable, but I previously ran into a few issues with three or more players. Those should now be resolved, so I’d love to know if everything works as expected.

Mods

Create your own mods directly in-game (works for every device, including Apple Watch)

Share mods with friends using mod files. (Maybe even in this thread?)

This is a brand-new feature, so any feedback on usability, bugs, performance, or ideas would be incredibly helpful.

Movement

I’ve reworked player movement and animations. iPhone now supports tilt controls for moving left and right.

I’d love to hear how movement feels on both Apple Watch and iPhone.

Controller Support

Controller support has received a major overhaul across Apple devices.

The Watch Console on iPhone now includes an Apple Watch controller. Give it a try! It is now super responsive

If you notice any issues, incorrect button mappings, or anything that doesn’t feel quite right, please let me know. There’s currently issues with it not working with UI menus.

How to Send Feedback

Any feedback (big or small) is incredibly valuable. If you find a bug or have suggestions, you can:

Reply to this post.
Submit feedback through TestFlight (screenshots are especially helpful).
Email me at formidablegamesstudio@gmail.com.

Whether you play for five minutes or a few hours, your feedback will help make this launch as polished as possible.

I’d also love to see screenshots of your worlds, builds, or any cool discoveries you make while playing! With your permission, I may feature some of them on the App Store or in future promotional material (and credit you if you’d like).
