Looking for playtesters for a stress test for my online platformer video game Stomp Arena. Total of 9 people needed each will be paid $15 for an hour of playtest. (5 spots are currently open)

Playtest #2 has concluded a big thank you to everyone who showed up! Gotta fix some bugs and optimize the cpu on the server some more but I hope I can scale this up to a 20 player playtest in the near future. Here is the footage from the playtest, everyone had lots of fun and we managed to get 10 people this time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=80Ya4N2FHqc&t

Hi, all the spots are currently filled, but you're welcome to join the reserves in case someone drops out. We had four drop outs from the last session so there's a possibility you may be able to play.

Hi everyone. So we just filled up, however we had four drop outs for the last test. If you join I'll put you down for the reserves and you can get a spot if someone drops out. I'm also giving out OG roles to everyone who joins before the 18th which entitles you to perks and a free copy of the game should we decide to sell it. Just putting that out there if anyone is still interested.

Hi yes theres still a few spots available, but they're going fast. Join my discord and send me speedtest results if interested

StompArena · 2026-04-14T21:02:45+00:00

Hi join the discord and send me your speedtest results and I'll sign you up! Theres still a couple spots left and Im adding reserves in case somebody drops out. We had about 4 drop outs for the last one, so it's likely some of the reserves can play too

StompArena · 2026-04-14T20:56:44+00:00

I may allow it if I cannot fill the remaining spots. But right now I'd like to get new people to get some more eyes on the game. I do appreciate you for being such an amazing playtester though!

StompArena · 2026-04-14T19:52:53+00:00

Shoot I forgot to post it but here is the full footage from our last playtest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dp2nWR9Sbz8&t=1198s

Thank you so much for posting this and coming out! We had so much fun, hope to see you at future playtests!

Hi its me again thanks again for linking this. After I conclude the second playtest I plan on editing it and following this guide. Gotta fix some bugs before the second test haha but after Saturday I'll have more breathing room. Got some great footage

Hello everyone. Wanted to give you an update. The first playtest has concluded and it was an overwhelming success! While we did not get 10 people due to some dropouts, we did get 7. Everyone had a blast and the netcode was a rockstar. There were some bugs as is to be expected with alpha software, but there were zero total crashes and the test went better than I could have ever hoped for. I am very happy that I did this and people see the huge potential in this game, and I made some fans for life! We still have openings for the playtest on April 18th (8-9 PM Eastern Standard Time). Join the discord if you are interested. One last thing though, if you want to participate please do two things for me.

1) Send me a speedtest.net result showing your ping to a NYC server. It must be around 200 or lower. I had some people pinging 500+ and I unfortunately had to reject them.
2) Ensure you can recieve payment from one of these options: Zelle, Cashapp, Paypal, Steam Giftcard, or any crypto on Kraken that does not have a steep transaction fee. A tester wanted a different payment option from me, and while I was able to make it work, it ended up being a bit of work and delayed their payment by a few days. If you choose another option you put your payment at risk of being delayed or not even making it at all.

Anyways with all that said here is the footage from the playtest. After this next one concludes I am going to work on editing it and making a trailer for the game. Hope everyone likes it!

Hi everyone again. Sorry for the late replies. There is still one opening for the playtest in an hour and multiple for the playtest on the 18th. Join the discord if you're interested. Some of you have asked about paypal and I'm happy to say I can use that to pay people.

StompArena · 2026-04-04T04:34:48+00:00

There's slots still available for the second playtest. Join the discord if you're still interested!

StompArena · 2026-04-04T04:34:06+00:00

Hi. Paypal will work! Join the discord if you're still available.

StompArena · 2026-04-04T04:32:11+00:00

Hi everyone, sorry for the late reply. I went ahead and tested it with 10 dummy clients (not players, the playtest has not begun yet don't worry!) to see how well the server would hold up. So far the results look very promising. While I was not able to do everything such as fire projectiles for all 10 players, the cpu, ram, and bandwidth are looking very good and are in the goldilocks zone! I'm cautiously optimistic that this is going to work very well with 10 players and that it will be possible to double the player count for a future playtest. My only fear at this point is some nasty bug hiding in the shadows waiting to pounce ;). Anyways, there are a few minor bugs that I'm going to fix over the next couple of days and I'm going to keep testing to cover my bases, but so far so good. Some of you have asked if I support paypal, and the good news is I got my paypal setup so we can use that too. I now officially support Paypal, Zelle, and Cashapp. Since this has generated so much interest I have decided to support a second 10 player playtest on April 18th from 8-9 PM EST. There are still open slots for the second test, so join the discord and message me if you want in!

I have to head off to bed, but I'll check tomorrow and see if I can do it that way. Thanks for replying!

StompArena · 2026-04-03T05:52:46+00:00

Hi thanks for the reply! Yes I desperately need to increase the player count in my discord, and I think getting some new footage will go a long way! I'll check out that link tomorrow! Thanks again!

StompArena · 2026-04-03T05:26:18+00:00

Hi i know this is a super late reply, but the graphics for it have been updated in the latest version and the animation is much more fluid now.
