What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We've decided to launch in Early Access when we release December 29th, 2023. This has already given us the opportunity to collaborate with even more indie game developers, add new characters & features to the game, along with polish up the game.

Early Access also allows us to receive feedback from players, ensuring that we can create the ultimate indie platform fighter. We want to make sure that every character and every feature in Cross Impact is perfect, and Early Access gives us the time and feedback necessary to achieve that goal.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Cross Impact will remain in Early Access until all promised content is fully delivered and polished. While we don't have a specific end date, our focus is on ensuring the best possible experience for our players by taking the time needed to meet our goals. We'll keep the community updated as we progress toward the full release.”

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

“As we continue to update Early Access throughout late 2024, you can look forward to the addition of more playable characters, the inclusion of more bosses with their unique assist characters in the Arcade Mode (bringing the total to 5+ new assists), the addition of Flip-A-Coin, and the incorporation of Dodgeball into the Arcade Mode. Plus, we'll be introducing Trophies and Unlockables during this period.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Early Access's current state will not have any features from what is highlighted above. The Early Access version of Cross Impact is currently a work in progress, but it already has a solid foundation. While there may be some bugs and unfinished features, players can still enjoy a substantial portion of the game.

Early Access features 9 Full Fighters, 14 Stages, 16+ Assist, Full Rollback Netcode Online, Extras Content, Versus Mode, Arcade Mode, Sports Mode, Training Mode, and Pogo Mode.”

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

“No. Cross Impact will remain free. Cross Impact is made by platform fighting fans, for platform fighting fans.”

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

“As developers, we recognize the importance of community involvement in the development process of Cross Impact. We plan on utilizing Early Access to gather feedback and suggestions from players, as well as addressing bugs and issues that are brought to our attention. We also plan on holding regular community events and tournaments to keep players engaged and to foster a sense of community within the game. In addition, we will be active on social media and other communication channels to stay connected with the community and to keep them updated on our progress and upcoming features. Overall, we believe that involving the community in the development process is crucial to creating a successful and enjoyable game.”
