Karoball on Android: the closed test starts today
Karoball for Android is in closed testing on Google Play. Join the tester group, become a tester and install it from the Play Store. It's three taps and you play with your normal account.
Karoball is coming to Android through Google Play, and the closed test starts today. If you want to play on your phone, you can join now. It's free, and you play with the same account as on PC, so your classes, gear and gold come with you.
How to join
Do these in order, on the Google account your phone uses for the Play Store.
- Join the tester group at groups.google.com/g/karoball-android-testers and click Join group. Google Play only lets members of this group into the test.
- Become a tester: open the testing page and press Become a tester.
- Install it from the Play Store: open Karoball on Google Play on your phone and press Install.
Then open Karoball and log in with your normal Karoball account, the same one as on PC. If you don't have an account yet you can make one in the app.
Tip: if the Play Store says the app can't be found, step 1 or 2 hasn't gone through yet or you're signed in to the Play Store with a different Google account. Check both, wait a few minutes and try the link again.
Good to know
- You need Android 7.0 or newer. The controls are a joystick on the left and your buttons on the right: one SHOOT button, or KICK, SPRINT and POWER, which you slide your thumb between without lifting it (you pick when you first play, and Settings > Controls changes it). Pinch or use the + and − buttons to zoom.
- The 2022 and 2023 Android apps can't join today's server. If you have an old Karoball app on your phone, uninstall it first, including one you installed from an APK file, or the Play Store may refuse to install over it.
- Updates come through the Play Store like any other app.
- Please stay in the test for at least 14 days. Google only lets a new game go public on Google Play after a closed test has had at least 12 testers for 14 days in a row, so every tester who keeps the app installed and plays now and then brings the public release closer.
Tell us what you find
It's a test, so expect some rough edges. If you get crashes, controls that feel wrong or text that doesn't fit your screen, tell us in the Discord and say which phone you have. Feedback you send from the Play Store goes straight to us too.
