What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The core fun of the game is working great, however it needs more content and a bit more polish to justify a full release in our eyes. Internally we have an idea of what that looks like and we're working hard to achieve it. In the meantime, we hope to find a passionate group of people to play the game alongside us as we continue building it.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Hopefully not longer than a year. We're dedicated to adding more and more content to the game to get it in a place that offers great value and fun for our players as quickly as our team can.”

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

“We plan to feature more levels in different biomes, more unlocks and upgrades, and ideally more game modes for players to experience so there's plenty of variety and replayability.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game has three playabe levels, each with a set of goals to complete to earn currency and unlock the next level. Earning currency allows you to upgrade your papergun, phonebook, lighter, and battery at the upgrade shop in the garage, which is the player's home base. The player can also earn POGZ by completing stylish moves and finding hidden POGZ tubes in each level. POGZ allow players to unlock new bike skins, three boardwalk games, and play homerun derby at the garage.”

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

“We plan to raise the price only when the game leaves early access to reflect the expanded scope of the game.”

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

“We're so excited to get feedback from the community via our website or the Discord server and try to incorporate as many great ideas as possible.”
