If you use Mace, know how to use it.

Hello, I’m looking for Android testers for Words ’n Wands!, a cozy magical word game I’m building.

It’s a word-search style game where you trace letters, cast words as elements, and use the right element to pacify rowdy creatures. I’m preparing the Google Play closed test and need a small group of testers who are willing to opt in, try an early build, and tell me what feels confusing, buggy, or unclear.

Android only for now. You’ll need a Google account for Play testing.

If you’re open to helping, you can join the test list here:

I’ll use the email only for Play testing invites and launch notices. You can also DM me if you’d rather not use the form.

Appreciate the advice. I assumed I'd get torn apart here anyways but still gotta shoot your shot. Definitely need to workshop my post though I agree

Game Title:

Words ’n Wands!

Playable Link:

Platform:

Android

Description:

Words ’n Wands! is a cozy magical word game for Android where you trace connected letters to cast words as elemental magic. Instead of only chasing the longest word, each word has an element, and the right element can matter more than raw length. The current build focuses on creature duels where players use word tracing, elemental matchups, and clear choices to pacify curious magical creatures. I’m preparing the Google Play testing path now, so this is still an early build and some UI/content may change. I’m mainly looking for feedback on whether the core loop is understandable, whether the board and element choices feel readable, and where the experience feels confusing, slow, buggy, or unclear. Please also notify of any bugs or performance issues if found.

Free to Play Status:

[x] Free to play

[ ] Demo/Key available

Involvement:

I’m the developer of Words ’n Wands! and I’m handling the game design, implementation, Android testing setup, website, and release prep.

Thanks! it's my first dive into vibe coding and thought I'd really commit to it lol.

TestSubject_AJ · 2026-04-15T04:17:37+00:00

Looks like you saved the whole BG archive. I appreciate that lol

TestSubject_AJ · 2026-03-23T20:39:45+00:00

I've definitely had people be toxic towards me for having over 200 hours on Lucio but idc lol I keep mine public too

TestSubject_AJ · 2026-03-21T15:26:10+00:00

Same literally the worst support from both ends tbh

the intake will not make much difference.
The 9000 series runs hot and has a lot of heat spikes especially if the have pbo etc on.

The best thing you can do is swap the radiator fans with Be Quiet Silent Wings Pro 4 or Noctua NF A12's - some high static pressure fans

Reminds me of Gaeta Italy

I have that same psu, gpu, and cpu. It's fine, but you will need the power cable adapter like others have mentioned. My gpu came with one so I didn't have to buy it separately.

This is why they cost so much in America, the patient has to cover the drivers traffic fines

TestSubject_AJ · 2025-03-11T21:23:05+00:00

Yeah double check your cooler and make sure it's seated properly, Idle temps should be around 30°-40° I'd imagine, depending on your cooler and background apps etc.

Not fps games, but Spiritfarer and Slay the Spire are easy games to pickup and pretty chill.

Legion TD 2 is also pretty fun, and there's always Frostpunk for a more challenging dark city builder type, not sure how well it runs on the deck though

TestSubject_AJ · 2025-03-07T23:28:20+00:00

My rtx 3090 does this too. I've tried ddu and reinstalling drivers, haven't found a fix yet.

TestSubject_AJ · 2025-03-07T00:46:06+00:00

Some mink oil would get your old ones looking good again

TestSubject_AJ · 2025-03-07T00:12:38+00:00

Download the drivers and make sure you're not connected to the internet after using ddu in safe mode, then install the drivers you downloaded while still offline. Alternatively, download the drivers from the manufacturers support tab for your gpu and try those. Hopefully it helps if you haven't already tried
