Oh Baby Games has officially opened up applications for the alpha test of its newest game, Pet Raiders. The early-stage playtest marks the first look into what the team describes as one of its biggest projects yet. While this alpha build is still in raw form, players who join will get to shape how the game evolves over time.

Pet Raiders Alpha Test Signup Goes Live

As of writing, the application form for Pet Raiders is live, allowing anyone to register their interest. Entry into the alpha test is not open to everyone. Only those who are active members of the Oh Baby Games Discord will be considered, and testers are expected to give full bug reports and gameplay feedback in dedicated Discord channels.

The test isn't focused on a polished gameplay experience. Instead, the studio seeks to break the game early and often. The goal is to collect detailed reports about systems that are in place and identify what needs to be fixed or changed. Testers are also reminded that sharing images, video, or any public content from this phase is not allowed.

What Players Will Experience in the Alpha

In a recent video, Oh Baby Games founder Pastuer Tan walked through what testers can expect once inside. The focus is tightly centered on pets and how they connect with the player in real time. This early alpha test leaves out major game systems like crafting, loot, equipment, and story, all of which are planned for later.

Instead, you will test how pets behave during combat, how they switch in and out, and how their moves and stats affect gameplay. The idea is to treat pets not just as companions, but as extensions of the player. Each pet has a range of unique moves, an ultimate ability, and a passive effect that affects both the pet and the player.

You can rotate through pets during fights, trigger their ultimate skills, and chain combinations between multiple pets. As pets level up, they unlock more moves and evolve into stronger versions. The connection goes both ways; pets also give players new active skills and stat boosts. One fire-based dragon might grant a fireball spell, while another version might offer flamethrower instead. The same pet species can come with different move sets and stat curves.

A unique "4th move" system also comes into play. This passive is based on the synergy between the player's selected pets. When the right combo is chosen, an extra move can be unlocked, creating new strategies depending on the mix of pets. Not all players will unlock this extra ability, but it serves as a reward for experimentation.

What's Missing from the Alpha Build

The team made it clear that this test build is very early. Several game systems are not yet present and should not be expected. These include weapon crafting, hero abilities, item loot, and the story system. You will only have access to 1 playable character during the test and cannot explore other classes or builds.

The purpose is to keep the focus narrow. The team wants feedback on how pets feel, how their mechanics interact with player control, and what needs to be changed before adding more features. There's no progression path for heroes yet, and testers are asked not to judge the game based on what's currently missing.

How to Apply for the Alpha Test

If you want to join the Pet Raiders alpha, you'll need to fill out the official application form. It asks for a few quick details like your Oh Baby Games username, your Discord name, and whether you hold an Oh Baby Pass NFT. Most of all, you'll need to confirm that you understand what's expected during the test.

This early alpha isn't about showing off polished gameplay. It's about helping the devs shape the game from the ground up. That means you're expected to actively test what's in place, find bugs, and report issues through the Oh Baby Games Discord. If you're not already in the Discord, you won't be considered for access.

You'll also have to agree not to share any screenshots, video, or gameplay footage outside of the approved Discord channels. Everything shared stays inside the test group.

Pet Raiders Joins a Growing Game Lineup

Pet Raiders is the latest addition to Oh Baby Games' ecosystem, which has grown rapidly over the past year. The studio has been active in building cross-platform games that lean into social play and competitive design. Unlike many other web3 game studios, Oh Baby Games focused on building playable titles first, only later introducing blockchain elements.

Back in October, the team launched its first NFT, the Oh Baby Pass. The pass was released on OpenSea in 3 phases and came with gameplay-linked benefits. It's not just a badge or collectible. The NFT levels up based on in-game activity across the full catalog of Oh Baby titles. Players who already logged time in past games also get retroactive credit toward the pass.

A Look at Oh Baby Games

Founded by Pastuer Tran, Oh Baby Games has focused on building a game-first platform. After raising $6 million in seed funding in 2023, the studio rolled out a plan that put gameplay and player experience ahead of speculative assets. Their catalog now includes 4 playable titles, all with very different gameplay styles:

Oh Baby Kart
This is the studio's main live title, a multiplayer kart racer with seasonal updates, ranked play, boss battles, and special character events. In 2023, it featured a crossover event with SpongeBob characters in partnership with Nickelodeon and Paramount.

Shogun Curse
A rogue-like card battler available on Steam, PC, and mobile. Players battle demons and monsters using buildable decks in a turn-based format.

Bam Bam Boom
A platform fighter focused on quick, intense PvP matches. Free to play and built for short, strategic gameplay bursts, this title emphasizes tight controls and fast movement.

Pawker
A deckbuilding roguelike with a light-hearted theme. Players take control of cat adventurers and use cards to battle meme-inspired enemies. Unlike other Oh Baby games, this one is not free to play.

All 4 games are linked to the Oh Baby Pass system, giving players progression and rewards across titles.
