The Steam Playtest is live now!

Hey trainers, I'm pleased to say the first closed playtest of Critterrupters is now live.

If you've been wondering how the game plays, this is your chance to head to Nikkolo Island and test out the game's mechanics. This is more a playground/sandbox to get a taster than a proper demo.

So in this demo there's 17 Critterbytes to download by meeting their download conditions, a number of trainers to battle after you've put together your team and a smattering of cards to swap with people in the park.

When you're finished, quitting the playtest will prompt you to fill in a feedback form, and it'd be very appreciated to know what you thought of the game. I hope these foundations are solid for the rest of the game to be built on top of.

If you have any feedback, find bugs, or want to discuss bugs, either send a message on the Steam Forum or drop into my discord (on the title screen).

If you want a go in the playtest, Request Access on the store page and I'll let you in.

I hope you enjoy your time with Critterrupters!

There were obviously some bugs to sort out but the 2 main points of contention were that the tutorial was too wordy, and the second is that information in battle happened all at once. Tutorial Improvements The biggest issue was with Sami Swaps explai…In-game event30 Oct 2025A selection of exciting playtest updates!I'm very bad at posting steam updates but I come bearing lots of news. Over the last 6 weeks, myself and some discorders have been playtesting the heck out a small section of Critterrupters. This little playtest was focused on just the park area letting you have a taster of battles, downloading and swapping cards. Whilst it's only just a little section in regards to exploration, it's all very f…
