What a BETA game is
Every new game or big update is played through by the studio before it goes live. A game that still shows BETA next to its version is in that last stretch: it works, but it may change between sessions while we finish it.
Boards for BETA games
- A BETA game keeps its scores on its own board, shown on the Boards page like any other game.
- When a BETA game goes live or its scoring changes, its board may start fresh.
- Coins earned in BETA games are real and stay with you.
What gets sent to us
| When | What | Who sees it |
|---|---|---|
| A game crashes or hits an error | Game and version, where in the run, the error text, browser and screen size, the last few in-game actions. Sent automatically. No name or email. | The studio |
| You tap Report a bug in a game's pause menu | A category you pick, an optional 280-character note, a picture of the game screen (the canvas only, not your whole screen), and the run's input log. | The studio only. Notes are never shown to other players. |
| You tap REPORT A BUG on a cabinet in the lobby | A category you pick, an optional 280-character note, the game and version, and your browser and screen size. No picture and no input log. | The studio only. Notes are never shown to other players. |
| You play any game | A count of the play, whether it finished, and whether the score verified. | Aggregated play counts (for example MOST PLAYED on the home page); never who played |
| You tap LIKE on a game | That this player or device likes the game. No note, no name. | Only the total like count, on the home page |
Please keep personal details out of bug notes. Reports are kept for 12 months and then deleted.
Tester rewards
