Tideward on Android. The open beta is free.
Tideward is an unhurried idle RPG: 28 trades, fights, and 24 hours of offline progress that is waiting when you come back. The Android version is a native app for phones and tablets running Android 10 or newer, and it is in open beta on Google Play now.
Free to test. Every trade is open in the beta, and nothing in it can be bought.

The same game that runs on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, Vision Pro, and Apple Watch, as a native Android app:
- The same 28 trades. All 28 are listed here.
- The same fights.
- The same 24 hours of offline progress. Set something going, close the app, and it is done when you return. How offline progress works.
- Everything open while you test. The whole game is open in the beta, and nothing in it can be bought, so no money can be taken.

What it costs
The beta costs nothing. The Android version launches on February 11, 2027, the same day as on the App Store; no Android price has been announced. When it launches, the paid part of the game locks again until you unlock it.
One bug report or suggestion during the beta earns a code for the full unlock when the Android version launches. One code per person. A code never depends on a rating or review.
No ads, no tracking, no account
The Android app does not embed any third-party SDK. No analytics, no advertising, no attribution, no crash reporting. It opens no network connection of its own except the report form, and that sends only what you choose to send.
The full statement is the Android privacy policy; the Android terms sit beside it.
Where your save lives
On your device, in storage other apps cannot read. If backup is turned on in your device settings, Android copies your save to your Google account and offers it back when you reinstall or set up a new device. It is a recovery copy, not sync: it does not keep two devices in step.
Apple and Android are separate stores
A save does not move between them, and a purchase on one does not unlock the other. Apple devices share one save through iCloud; the Android version keeps its save on the device.
