Why Early Access?

“Gum Ball Run is a multiplayer racing experience. There is still a lot to balance and test when it comes to providing the best experience. By having players during the Early Access phase I can make adjustments according to player feedback. There is also a lot more content to add. These include single player levels, racing tracks, new cosmetics and effects. Community building is very important and I hope to hear your feedback in the Gum Ball Run discord channel! By doing this I will work on the game every day so I can provide updates with new content every week. For the final release I want a fully functional racing and progression experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“When the game balancing is done, all the features are polished and all the content is added. In total this will take approximately a year depending on the amount of features the community wants.”

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

“For the final release we plan to have:
- 12 level themes, each with their own environment, music and obstacles
