HI Michael, As a developer myself, are you absolutely sure that the level of secrecy you are going for here is completely appropriate / necessary?
What I mean is that (as others have mentioned) at least knowing the type of game would be important in your search for appropriate testers. Yes? If you simply say we have a game to test, then you will probably receive way more responses than you would need to screen and many may not even be interested once you tell them what type of game it is. I am assuming here that you are saving that info for private correspondences. If you are wanting people to begin testing without knowing what type of game this is then you will likely also have many drop-outs once the game type is revealed. My point here is that you can save yourself and your potential testers much grief and aggravation if you release just a bit more info about what it is that people will be potentially testing. I myself may also be interested in testing this game, for example, however, if it turns out that the genre is not something in which I am interested, then you will have wasted your time and mine in the process. Know what I mean? Just wanting to save you the troubles of this sort of approach. Best of luck!

However, we can give you the following: As this is our first title, it will be more simplistic, but still not lacking in challenge and replayability. It will be an arcade title, with modes and difficulty settings similar to super egg hunt plus. And when I say similar, I don't mean similar as in game play, just in the way it has different modes of the same game play. Thank you, and if you have any other questions please ask, and we will answer if possible. -Michael.
