What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Byte Wars is being released in Early Access to gather feedback from users and to allow ongoing development of new features, improvements, and polish. The game is also used internally as a reference and learning tool, and Early Access gives us the flexibility to explore gameplay updates and system integration while collecting input from the broader community.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently estimate that Byte Wars will remain in Early Access for the foreseeable future, with no fixed release date. The project may stay in Early Access long-term, as it is also used for internal testing and continuous iteration.”

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

“We plan to expand the game over time by experimenting with new features and refining existing systems. Potential updates may include:
  • More gameplay modes or variations
  • Additional customization options and progression elements
  • General improvements to multiplayer flow and stability
  • Enhanced UX and polish based on community feedback
These plans are subject to change based on development priorities and user input.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version of Byte Wars includes:
  • Two core modes: Singleplayer, and Online Multiplayer (Elimination and Team Deathmatch)
  • Online matchmaking with dedicated servers
  • Basic combat mechanics with gravity-based rocket physics
  • Score tracking, achievements, and leaderboard integration
  • Cosmetic and power-up systems
  • Cloud save and progression
Please refer to the “About This Game” section for more detailed information on current features.”

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

“No, Byte Wars will remain completely free during and after Early Access. It is intended as a reference and onboarding tool for developers evaluating or learning to use AccelByte.”

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

“Community feedback will help shape future development decisions, bug fixes, and balance adjustments. We encourage players to share their thoughts through discussion forums and issue reports. Feedback will be monitored regularly to identify areas where the game can improve or where new features may be added.”

About This Game

Byte Wars is a strategic top-down rocket shooter where every shot counts. Take control of a spacecraft, rotate to aim, and launch a single rocket at a time, carefully navigating the pull of nearby planets that warp your trajectory in real time.

Players pilot a ship and fire one rocket at a time, requiring careful aim, as gravity from nearby planets dynamically alters rocket trajectories. Think before you shoot: accuracy are the keys to victory.

🛰️ Key Features:

  • Online Multiplayer – Compete in real-time Elimination and Team Deathmatch modes

  • Gravity Mechanics – Plan your rockets around planetary fields that curve and twist their paths

  • Player Progression – Earn score and climb the leaderboard

  • Customization – Equip your ship with visual cosmetics and power-ups for a personal edge

Byte Wars offers a unique, thoughtful twist on arcade shooting action.
