Why Early Access?

“I am publishing the game as Early Access in order to bring awareness to BlockJump during its development stage and to allow people to give ideas via my Discord server and Youtube Channel listed lower down the page.

I would like to get ideas from the community in order to quicken the development process and also to ensure the game is developed to be as entertaining as possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I am uncertain, it could be 1-3 years depending on how much life interferes with the progression of development.”

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

“I plan to make the full version have much more unlockable content and customisation. There will be some sets of levels which I plan to carry out in 4 Phases. (BlockJump has just completed Phase 1 of development).

Phase 2 is planned to take place within a Desert Temple where there would be various routes to escape, along with new obstacles and challenges for the player to overcome.

Phase 3 may include a Snow Theme with some ice that the player would skid on along with snow that will slow down the player.

Phase 4 is planned to refine the game by adding new customisation options along with more unlockable content.

However, this plan may change and be improved upon if I think of a better idea, or if you (or someone else in the community) give me a superior option and I decide to implement it as a result.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You play as a square who tries to beat a Section of the game as fast as possible. Once you complete a Section, you will earn stars (up to 3) depending on how fast you were. There are a few achievements built into the game, along with a slightly customisable win screen.

In the main game you jump over spikes, bounce on clouds, use dash panels and collect powerups to beat the game.

Alongide the main game, there are 2 Extras: Evasion & Hyperspeed.
- Evasion: You dodge a barrage of attacks with increasing difficulty for around 3 mins. (If you
die, you have to start over).
- Hyperspeed: A set of unique levels whilst everything (both you, and everything around you)
moves at 4x speed.

Each Extra gives 1 star upon completion.”

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

“Yes, the price will increase slightly when Phase 3 is implemented due to the addition of new content.”

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

“Through my Discord Server: https://discord.gg/EG7VjuqxsW
Throught my Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@Block_Jump

Here I will get opinions from you and share information and content about BlockJump before it is put into the game. This will be greatly appreciated because it allows me to have a broader perspective of what needs to be changed, removed or added to give a better user experience.”
