The Cartel's home page

Description:

We have built a massive multiplayer online game that takes the concept and feel behind the Grand Theft Auto series and brings it to the iPhone in a direct input based game, named The Cartel.
Some of the main features of the game are:
in-game world economy
ability to acquire wealth through the development of commodities
perform actions to increase your status and wealth
ability to interact with other players through a chat system and the Forums
able to join gangs and form cartels that benefit all percipients
use the Player Marketplace to barter your way to the top
buy and equip a variety of items to enable your missions and character’s ability
fight your way to the top individually or using your cartel’s power

The goal of the game is simple; use any of the available features to make the most money and form the most powerful Cartel.

Tester incentive:

Top 5 testers that go through every feature of the game (we can track server side how many areas of the game you've touched) get a $10 itunes gift card. Top 3 testers that file the most confirmed bugs (we will confirm every bug tested, and if it's legit then it will count for your total) get a $20 itunes gift card.

Supported devices:

Here's what needs to be tested:

We essentially just want people to play the game.
Try to make as much money as possible, form the biggest crew and then cartel.
Interact and jump-start the in-game economy and community.
