WEEKLY PLAYTEST · CRITTERFRONT

Play with us every week.

Critterfront is an auto battler meets tower defense, in alpha. Once a week we play it together online, and what you tell us shapes what changes next.

EVERY WEEK, ON DISCORD

Playtest Night

Every Thursday, 19:30–21:00 German time (Europe/Berlin)

We meet in the Playtest Night voice channel on our Discord. Voice is optional: every countdown is also typed in #playtest-nights.

How a night works

Join the Discord before the night and say hello in #playtest-nights. The countdowns and the groups for each match are posted there.
Have the game ready by 19:30, in your browser or as the Windows or Linux download (below). For online matches, create your free account in the game beforehand: NORMAL GAME asks you to sign in.
First time? Play your first match on your own, at your own pace: choose BATTLE → BOT GAME. Nobody watches over your shoulder unless you ask.
Then join a group. When your group's countdown ends, everyone presses NORMAL GAME at once, so you meet in the same online match. No group free? Play another BOT GAME and join the next round.
Tell us how it went. One thing that confused you and one thing you liked, in the feedback thread or form the host posts for the night.

Get the game

ANY DESKTOP · BROWSER

Play in your browser

Windows, macOS or Linux, in a desktop browser with WebGL 2 and a mouse. The browser build plays BOT GAME; online play from the browser has not been confirmed on this build yet, so for NORMAL GAME at Playtest Night use the Windows or Linux download if you can.

WINDOWS · DOWNLOAD

Download for Windows

A closed-alpha desktop build for Windows 10 (version 21H1 or newer) or Windows 11, 64-bit, built for BOT GAME and online NORMAL GAME. It is not code-signed yet, so Windows may ask before the first start; the download box says what to choose. Everyone in an online match needs the same build, so update when a new one is announced.
