Sting

Get. Set. Sting.

Test the game on your phone

Sting Boost is a 15-second race against a rival. Tap the Boost button at the right moment, three times, and beat him to the line. We need to see how it runs on as many different phones as possible, old ones too.

Takes about a minute. The device test records your phone model label, browser and hardware details, loading time, frame rate and input delay to help us fix slowdowns. Use only the model and OS in the label. Device details appear on the results page. Just play does not send these reports.

How the test works

Share this tester page with DM colleagues: https://sting-formula-1-test.vercel.app/

  1. Open it on your phone

    Use the button above, or scan the QR code from a computer. Any phone helps; older and cheaper ones help most.

  2. Check your phone’s name

    We fill in a guess. Make sure it says the model and system, for example iPhone 11, iOS 17 or Galaxy A52, Android 13. iPhones never tell us the model, so type it in (Settings › General › About).

  3. Tap AUTO TEST ×3 and let go

    The game races three times by itself, so every phone does the same work. Keep the screen on and don’t touch it for about a minute.

  4. Done. Results send themselves

    When the races finish, the numbers go to us automatically. If sending fails, tap SEND. Then tap PLAY and have a go yourself.

Earlier prototypes

Before the Figma design was finished, we built three quick versions of the same race to try different techniques. They are parked and are not part of this test. You can still open them.
