(Steve, let me know if this is out of place for these boards.)

I have a couple of games that need external testing. I have a few beta testers already, but would like to add more.

The games are Food Chain (http://www.onlinealchemy.com/oaprojects/foodchain.html) for the PC and Mac (OS 9 & OSX), and Chrysanthemum (http://www.onlinealchemy.com/oaprojects/chrysanthemum/mum.html) for the Palm OS.

Food Chain is a puzzle game where you are trying to keep all four kinds of animals alive -- but they also like to eat each other (some of you may recall this game was an IGF finalist a few years ago).

Chrysanthemum is a sort of falling blocks game, but is not a clone of Tetris. There's a java version of Chrysanthemum up on my site.

If you're interested in testing these out, please send me an email (mike@onlinealchemy.com), and include the game and platform you'd like to test, and the platform you have.

Thanks!

Wow, replying to my own post...

I'm still looking for testers -- I got zero response from these boards for this the first time around, so I'm trying again (after this I'll lay off -- these boards are great, but maybe they're not the best place to find good beta testers).

Let me know (see the above post) if you're interested.

Thanks!

It's fine to solicit testers here, but you probably won't get much response -- your response rate would probably be better on a site like gamedev.net.

Thanks Steve. Signal - noise is important too.
