The full version will have 8 playable and fully realized characters, balanced against every other characters, another game modes like story mode, in-game content like images from development, concept art. The current state of the game only has one AI difficulty, the final version will have several difficulties to all level of players.”

The game is still unbalanced and has some minor gameplay bugs that will be fixed along the early access. It doesn't have all gameplay feature such as what we call "Fierce Duel" which prevents players to be double K.Od. Also, right now the only multiplayer mode is local multiplayer. The final version is expected to have online multiplayer.”

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

“Yes, the game will be cheaper during early access and then a small increase for the release.”

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

“The community will be a the most important part of this early access. Two Strikes is a game created by 3 persons and not a lot of playtesting were carried to determine how balanced the game is between 2 human players. The AI is good enough, even though it will be improved. Also, as a small indiedev team, we are still testing new features in the gameplay which will be tested by the community, besides finding bugs and reporting them for us.
Other important thing is that we will be adding more characters throughout the early access and the community playing the game and testing it for us is utmost important to release a rounded vanilla version by the end of the early access.”
