What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“While the game is fully-functional and playable from beginning to end, we would still like to gather player feedback for game-feel and to also add more content to the game (enemies, weapons, costumes) before fully releasing the game into a 1.0 state.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 6 months or less.”

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

“As we move towards the release (1.0) version of the game we intend to add more enemies, weapons and costumes to the game. The full-version of the game will be largely the same as it is now, just featuring more total content.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game currently has a fully-playable gameplay loop of what you find outlined in the 'About This Game' section of the game's store page. More enemies, weapons and costumes are planned to be added during the game's Early Access phase.”

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

“The price will not change during or after Early Access.”

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

“Players are welcome to submit feedback to our Discord server, 'Rule No. Server' (a link to which can be found in the community HUB for the game) and also within the Steam Community Hub for the game itself.”

Reviews

“Like being voluntarily stuck inside of a 'Rage-Room' surrounded by nothing more than innumerable glass bottles and instruments with which to obliterate them.”
- Oddkins (*Developer of Rule No. 3 Downpour)

“Some people call our game 'gooner-bait'... but those people lack imagination, manners, hobbies... and probably jobs.”
- Oddkins (*Developer of Rule No. 3 Downpour)

About This Game

Rule No. 3 Downpour is an arcade/arena-shooter FPS about being swarmed by enemies on all sides and fighting back for a higher and higher score!

It's Geometry Wars if it was an FPS mixed with the great Swarmlake.

Features:

- Silky smooth gameplay with a top-tier movement controller that provides a blissful feeling to the player!

- A dynamic HUD that not only provides visual flourish and connection to the player character but that also reacts to what is going on in the game-world!

- A roster of 36+ weapons and power-ups!

- 8 fully hand-drawn & hand-animated character costumes.
- A Level-up system for passive rewards and maximum addiction!

- Leaderboards so that you can compete with strangers and friends alike!

- Magnificent art, created by the magnificent BlackTar!

AND most importantly...

- Joy!

*P.S., The game features a NSFW mode that deactivates all of the more suggestive elements for a more 'vanilla' experience.
