What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“With the potential a rhythm game has to consistently improve and get better, we hope to continue supporting and updating the game based on feedback and move closer and closer to the scope we want to achieve. Furthermore, a rhythm game needs players to consistently provide feedback in order to fully execute any idea. Early Access supports all of these hopes and is the right track for this game to go.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“This game will be in Early Access for as long as it takes to fully recognize the scope and execute the many ideas we have. Still, we are working hard to launch the full game roughly by Summer 2022.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The full version is as of now planned to include a multitude of new features, such as new levels, new songs, new enemy types and patterns, and potentially new bosses. Other features that players may suggest or recommend may make it into the final product as well.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version currently has a fully playable game from start to finish with multiple levels and a final boss, having all of the functionality of the final game but simply with a smaller scope.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game will be priced the same between Early Access and the full version.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We will be using Steam forums and other potential avenues to involve the community and the players in our feedback and development process.”
