JOB OVERVIEW

Help us improve Gold Below, a dark-fantasy loot roguelike for mobile.

We're looking for playtesters who can tell us what feels fun, confusing, frustrating or broken on a real iPhone or Android phone. This is a short paid testing gig. Clear observations and useful bug reports matter more than finding a large number of bugs.

PAID TRIAL AND RATE
The initial trial is up to two paid hours total, including setup, gameplay, screen recording and a short written report. Please quote your hourly rate in USD. We will agree on your rate, scope, start time and test access before you begin. Reporting time is paid and included in the two-hour limit. No unpaid test or game purchase is required. Further sessions may be offered, but ongoing hours are not guaranteed.

WHAT TO TEST
- Start fresh and tell us whether the goal, controls and first few decisions are clear.
- Try combat, inventory management, loot and upgrades. Note confusing labels, hard-to-read text or awkward touch controls.
- Check save/resume by closing and reopening the game and by moving it to the background.
- Note crashes, freezes, visual problems, lost progress or performance issues.
- Give honest feedback on difficulty, pacing and whether you want to keep playing.

DELIVERABLES WITHIN THE TWO HOURS
- Record the first 15-20 minutes on your phone with spoken observations in English. Say what you expect, what confuses you and why you make decisions. No face camera or polished video editing is needed.
- Continue testing, then send a short report prioritizing your most useful findings.
- For each bug, include the phone model, OS and game version, steps to reproduce, expected versus actual behavior, and a screenshot or video timestamp when possible.
- Include a short summary of what worked, what did not and what you would improve first. There is no minimum bug count.

REQUIREMENTS
- Access to a real iPhone or Android phone, with permission to install a provided test build.
- Ability to record the phone screen with microphone audio.
- Clear written and spoken English for feedback.
- Familiarity with mobile games. Roguelike or turn-based game experience and previous QA work are useful but not essential for thoughtful playtesting.
- A stable connection to download the build and share your recording.

TO APPLY
Use the subject: Gold Below Playtester
1. List your phone model(s), OS version(s), and available screen-recording method.
2. State your hourly rate in USD and availability for a two-hour trial.
3. Briefly describe your testing experience and name two games you play, including what you like or dislike about them.
4. If you already have a bug report or narrated testing sample, share it. Do not create new unpaid work to apply.

We want candid product feedback; no public store review or positive rating is requested.
