What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“As Puppet Master is being developed solely by me and I still maintain a full-time job, I need to gauge interest in my game and its development, so that I can properly manage expectations when building further features into the game.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I am working hard to get Puppet Master completed and I am hoping it can be out of early access by roughly Q2 2023.”

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

“Early access will only be playable in single-player. With limited content in terms of characters, abilities, and maps. I am working hard to get the final version of Puppet Master to support local co-op.

Full version should also include

  • More countries to choose from and play
  • More abilities and traits to unlock
  • Cosmetics for your main character
  • More maps
  • More unique bosses
  • More enemy types
”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Puppet Master currently has all core game elements in place
  • Choice between 3 stages (aka countries) to play, I have developed a stage builder, so introducing new stages will be easy going forward.
  • Puppet Master has in-game currency that can be earned when completing rounds.
  • Unlock abilities and purchase them with in-game currency.
  • Place ability bracelets strategically on the limbs of your character, limbs can be lost during rounds which will cause those abilities to be lost.
  • Purchase upgrades for abilities.
  • There are 2 Maps available, one small and one large for bigger fights. I have developed a map builder already and I can introduce more maps easily.
  • There are 5 bosses and 7 Different enemy types currently, once again I have developed character builders into my game with interchangeable traits so introducing new enemies can be done easily.
”

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

“Early access is of course free but the final version may have a small price(TBC). I will ensure that any person that played during early access and supported its development will not be charged for the final version.”

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

“As Puppet Master is based on conquering countries and climbing to the top to ultimately fighting that country's Puppet Master. It leaves a lot of room for the community to get involved with ideas on enemy designs and even boss designs for each country available.

There is also room for ideas on weapons and even unlockable items, I feel like my ideas are good but a community always brings the best ideas when they work together.

One area I would like to focus on is game balancing and I feel I need a community to help with that level of fine-tuning.

There are currently 3 countries to choose and play from Britain, America, and South Africa but I know people from around the world would love to see their country in-game with their own enemy types and bosses. I am hoping to expand on this idea with a community, as I feel there is a lot of potential in this area.

About This Game

Who is the puppet master of your country

You alone, voiceless, and in a sea of global corporate corruption and media propaganda! What can you do, well... fight back! We are already at the bottom of the power structure in greater numbers but what's at the top? who is at the top? Time to find out by infiltrating the power structure and fighting your way up the ranks. The question is can you ever get to the top and if so what will you see when you are there?

Simple but fun player control and movement, there is just something fun about the simplicity of flinging a humanoid ragdoll around.



Choose from different countries to fight in all with their own unique enemies and boss. Enemies also have unique traits that can both benefit you and harm you. The more you play and level up the more the enemies scale in strength and numbers, there is no end!



Every time you win you will earn more and more in-game currency called crip-toe. You will also unlock new abilities and cosmetics. There are unique ability bracelets that you can unlock and customize on your character. For example, you might place a bracelet on a limb you know you have less chance of losing, as if you lose a limb with a bracelet you lose the power that bracelet gave you. So you will need to strategize what bracelets to use in certain fights and where those bracelets should be placed on your character.



The enemy scaling system in Puppet Master is built to keep on increasing AI strength and difficulty the more you play and skill up. This means the levels and rounds you play will increasingly get more difficult with more variations of enemies. There will be a global scoring system where you can rank but no one can really reach the top as there is no top, just another pyramid of power you will need to climb.
