Pourquoi choisir l'accès anticipé ?

« Be warned, the early access version is NOT COMPLETE and has a lot of flaws. This game is a solo-dev game and, because of that, I'm still struggling to release the full product. But in the meantime I'd love to get feedback and direction from my users to know what is right and what is wrong. So I've prepared a version with some of the main features, but pending additional levels, interface, sound, features and polishing.
Also as part of the Early launch this will generate some revenue stream that I'll be using to enrich the game, some aspects like sound, translations, and voice acting will require further investment that I plan to do with your kind purchases.

The initial version is totally playable and should offer a good but limited experience, but I also want to enjoy with you the opportunity to improve the game with your feedback.

Be warned, the early access version is NOT COMPLETE and has a lot of flaws, please keep in mind that this game is in development and there are a lot of parts missing and the present parts may present bugs and wip status. »
