What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We’re launching Beyond Solar in Early Access so players can help shape the final game. Your feedback guides combat feel, content, balance, and polish while we keep shipping updates.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 6 to 9 months, depending on feedback, feature completion, and polish. We’ll keep timelines visible through regular Steam and Discord updates.”

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

“The full release is planned to include:
• More campaign chapters and environments
• Deeper arsenal, drones, modules, and crafting
• Additional bosses
• Expanded Ranked 1v1 / seasonal competitive content and cosmetics
• Stronger VFX, UI/UX, localization, and Steam Deck support
• More voice-over languages

Exact scope can shift with community priorities.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“You can play the core loop now: pilot Gravity through pixel-art bullet-hell combat, use arsenal and drones, play the story prologue, Survival, and Ranked 1v1. Environments, audio, and visuals are playable.

Still cooking: more levels and story, more bosses, deeper systems, fuller localization, more polish (bugs, performance), and ongoing balance for both casual and hardcore pilots. Housing is a live EA pillar we’re iterating in the open.”

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

“Early Access supporters keep exclusive rewards. Between Steam seasonal sales the list price stays $9.99. We may run modest discounts during major Steam events (typically around 20–30%). We avoid deep permanent cuts so the store stays fair for early supporters.

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

“• Regular update posts on Steam and Discord
• Bug reports, feedback threads, and occasional surveys
• Polls on content priorities when it helps
• Playtests / Q&As when announced
• We iterate fast on what you play and tell us — and credit active community help where we can”

About This Game

Beyond Solar is what happens when retro arcade shooters drink too many energy drinks.

Earth is gone.

Humanity is scattered.

And somehow the resistance decided giving you a spaceship was a good idea.

Fight through absurd enemy swarms, dodge screen-filling attacks, switch drone formations mid-combat, craft bigger guns, and turn chaos into muscle memory.

Master campaign missions, survive endless waves, or embarrass your friends in 1v1 PVP.

Fast gameplay.

Huge bosses.

Questionable life decisions.

A Pixel Art Bullet Hell with a branching narrative full of betrayal, sacrifice, and two possible endings. Earth is no longer safe. Humanity’s last fleet has ventured Beyond Solar, facing an onslaught of mechanical armadas and alien warlords determined to erase us from existence. Step into the cockpit of an advanced strike fighter and battle across hostile galaxies in a relentless campaign.

Will you rise to the top or fall in the ranks?

In Survival Mode, the battle never stops. Face unyielding waves of enemies that grow stronger with every encounter, pushing your skills and reflexes to the absolute limit. There’s no finish line only the question. how long can you survive the storm?
