Update: We are no longer requiring registration or limiting participation. Anyone in the Google Group will be able to download and play the pre-release on Google Play.
The iOS8 update broke all of our games. No biggie, not many people play our games on iOS. But we can't leave our fans hanging even when they are few and so we fixed the problem. While we were at it, we went ahead and added some new content, because WHY NOT!?
We want to test the new stuff before going live, so we're opening up a public test run on Android. It isn't live YET (probably Friday evening). To get the game (when it is ready), join our Google+ Community for public testing. This will grant you access to the test version through Google Play.
