Why Early Access?

“I want to get player feedback to ensure that the game is the best it can be before the full version.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“5-6 months”

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

“The Early Access version should give a sense of what the final version will be like to play. The full version should be a smoother overall experience, with more features and better visual style.

Current Early Access features:

• 50 handcrafted maps
  
• 9 distinct elemental towers
  
• 14 challenging enemies
  
• 25 upgradable passive skills
  
• 10 stackable difficulty modifiers
  
• 4 difficulty levels
  
• Infinite power gain through level ups
  
• Infinite replayability through customizable gameplay settings and impossibly difficult challenges
  
• Keep playing maps in "endless mode" to test your endurance and gain more experience
  
• Customize the gamespeed at any time so you can take it at your own pace
  
• Manage your defenses even while the game is paused
  
• Always gain experience points, win or lose
  
• Reduce the base game difficulty with accessibility options

Planned full version features:

• more maps
  
• more enemies with unique interactions and abilities, requiring new strategies to defeat
  
• more endgame challenge modifiers
  
• improved menu layouts
  
• better aesthetics (UI, art, graphics, etc.)
  
• increased visual/audio feedback to fill the game with flavor and feeling

Possible full version features:

• a spell system that lets players create custom spells to enhance the moment to moment gameplay
  
• map themes (desert, ice, vulcano, forest, etc.)
  
• achievements
  
• unique map mechanics (teleport pads, lava spouts, weather, etc.)
  
• more skills
  
• new game+ to reset your progress, but maintain skill points. Also upgrade the weakest enemy, the least used tower, the least used skill, and the rate experience is gained
  
• full controller support
  
• super challenging endurance mode (100 waves, each wave gains 1% damage reduction)

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Please refer to the previous question "How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?"”

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

“The price will reflect the current value of the game. As more content/features are added the price will gradually increase.”
