Why Early Access?

“Early Access allows us to work towards more feasible milestones. We're a small team and this is not our full-time job, so having the only milestone/version roadmap be "game finished" is very daunting. Having the game in Early Access allows us to tackle development in smaller chunks - updates - which we release along the way. That way, we stay focused on specific, smaller milestones, making the project itself more digestible for us and thus the risk of a burnout is much lower.
It also helps us gather feedback and potentially solve problems before it's too late, ultimately securing a higher quality game in the end. We're very passionate about this project and are eager to share it with our community!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are fairly certain that Early Access will last about 3 to 4 years, meaning it should be finished sometime in 2023 or 2024. However, we would rather take our time and delay the full version than rush it and release an unpolished game. We will of course update you if delays occur.”

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

“The full game will feature a total of approximately 20+ huge levels split into multiple unique environments with multiple bosses. This is what we call the campaign mode. It will be filled with goofy cutscenes, tons of charm, and a cast of quirky characters!
It will also feature a Level Builder, allowing you to create and share your own custom levels!”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of the game features three worlds consisting of multiple levels and bosses! We're working hard on finishing the third world.
An early version of the Level Builder is also part of the Early Access version!
Please be aware that save files may be wiped during Early Access.”

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

“The game will be cheaper during Early Access and the price will gradually increase with each major milestone (i.e. moving from Alpha to Beta or Beta to full release).”
