What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I've been dreaming of this gameplay loop for over a decade and elaborating on it over years until it was fun. As the gameplay is unprecedented, I want to polish the gameplay by feedback of as many players as possible before the final release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“2025”

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

“Better revised game mechanics and audiovisual experience.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“A full game with the length of your typical bullet hell shoot 'em up.”

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

“Maybe”

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

“Any feedback (Discord, Steam, email or any other channel) is very welcome and will be tried to include in upcoming updates.”

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


Is this a skill based game or a casual game?
It's skill based. Easy to learn, hard to master. Each section is unique and leaves room for improvement. The scoring system awards tactics and skills.

Do you play bullet hell shoot 'em ups?
I play bullet hell shoot 'em ups (e.g. from Cave) regularly and understand the deep scoring mechanics those games have. I usually reach the last stage with one credit. I particularly like shooters with innovative concepts like Ikaruga.

Do you play rhythm games?
I used to play rhythm games daily and still play them from time to time. I love how rhythm games force your whole body to be part of the game. This is what I tried to adopt in Soundstorm.
