Request a seat in the wake.

Gripwake's first ten-sector Cinderwake arc is being tested on iPhone and iPad. The current build is private and internal-only, so there is no public TestFlight link to join.

No automatic invitation: sending a request tells the developer you are interested. It does not reserve a place, promise access, or install anything on your device.

How requests work

  1. Open the request email. The button on this page opens your email app with a short template. Nothing is submitted by the website.
  2. Tell us what you can test. A device model and the part of the game that interests you are enough. Do not send a password or verification code.
  3. Wait for a personal reply. Requests are reviewed by the developer. If a suitable place and build are available, you will receive the next steps.
  4. Accept only Apple's invitation. A real TestFlight invitation arrives through Apple. Gripwake will never ask for your Apple Account password.

The current internal build is intentionally restricted. A future external TestFlight may use a different invitation process after Apple's beta review, but that is not live today.

What you will test

The Cinderwake arc

Clear ten authored sectors, collect regional discoveries, and reach the Crownfall finale.

Recover modules, compare tradeoffs, secure cargo, and shape a five-system loadout.

Device fit

Before you request

  • Test builds can contain bugs, unfinished art, balance changes, and save-breaking updates.
  • Progress is saved locally. Deleting the app can remove your pilot and discoveries.
  • TestFlight builds expire, and access can end while a new build is prepared.
  • Useful feedback can be short. A device model, screenshot, and what you expected are often enough.

Read the privacy notice before emailing if you want to understand how access requests and bug reports are handled.
