It’s been a while coming, but Sentinel 4: Dark Star is now racing towards release. We’ll soon need a few good players to give the iOS version of the game a thorough going over, so it’s time to open up beta applications! Please read this post carefully before you apply.

The Sentinel 4 iOS beta test will require an account at http://testflightapp.com, so please sign up if you haven’t already registered.

Discussion will be hosted at http://origin8.com/forums, so a forums account is also needed. If you run into any problems registering, contact support@origin8.com for assistance.

Sentinel 4 is a large game and testing will be time consuming. It’s not all fun and games – you might be asked to play levels repeatedly, or to spend time on “boring” activities needed to isolate bugs. You’ll also be asked for written feedback, so you must be comfortable organising your opinions and putting your thoughts into words. Please DO NOT apply for beta if you anticipate other major commitments such as holidays or exams over the next few weeks. Inactive testers may be removed from beta, and could potentially be blacklisted from future tests.

If we’ve not managed to put you off, fill out the form at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1s3XxYMqlB2Ni_Ade0-gYRi2K1cUwChoVAlR23qcQFi8/viewform to apply.

Thanks to all of you who offer your help!
