We will continue to support our Android and iOS alpha captains, but the pace of updates will be slower than Steam on most weeks.

Thanks for understanding!

Thanks for letting us know. Since you're in early release on Steam, it makes sense to prioritize updates there.

The only way to join the mobile alpha right now is to pledge to our Patreon -- any pledge ($1+) will get you an invite!

It is important to note that this does not get you any redeemable key for the game later. You have to buy it in full later.

Mainly playing on desktop, but enjoy playing casually (or when specific testing needed on mobile) on the couch, so truly appreciate occasional updates :-)

hi Andy received the patreon mail by you devs,not yet the alpha link is it a separate mail theorically,right?

[Cory Trese]

You'll get a HockeyApp email today / tonight for signing your device up with the alpha download site.

[fallen]

Yes, it would be a separate email from a service called HockeyApp as cory mentioned. Check spam folders.

I sent it to the email registered to this forum account. Let me know if that is not right.
