What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Our objective is to offer customers a preview of the game prior to its full release, along with ongoing updates as we progress towards completion. We also aim to utilize feedback from the early access version to refine the game, enhancing the overall experience for players.

Current Status of Early Access:
Our early access version provides an initial glimpse into the game, featuring the introductory content and key functionalities. Presently, it includes the first of six planned worlds, offering platforming challenges and power-up mechanics for players to explore. Additionally, players can engage in battles with undead monsters, collect bones to boost their speed, and confront the inaugural boss, known as "Nutty the Squirrel." Furthermore, the version contains initial cutscenes that establish the groundwork for the overarching narrative intended for the final release.

For further details, please consult the "About This" section.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're shooting for a 2024 Q3 or Q4 full release, but if the game is not finished in that time period we will update this. As first time developers, this is hard to gauge for us.”

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

“The current version available for early access is the most recent iteration of the game, but it's important to note that it's not the final, complete version. The release version is intended encompass the full game experience.

Presently, the early access version features only the initial world out of a handful of worlds we plan to implement. Additionally, the composition of this first world might evolve as more features are integrated.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Our current Early Access build represents approximately one-sixth of the full game's envisioned content. It is fully playable and completable, offering a substantial gaming experience while we continue to develop additional levels and features.

Customers with the Early Access version can expect the following features and content:

Playable Content: The game offers a comprehensive experience, with the initial build comprising one out of six planned worlds. Players can engage in platforming challenges, utilize power-up mechanics, and confront enemies across this first world.
Progression: Users can advance through the available levels, encountering diverse challenges and obstacles along the way. The game is designed to provide a satisfying sense of progression as players navigate through each stage.
Interactive Elements: Various interactive elements are incorporated, including collectible items like bones to enhance speed and engaging boss battles such as the encounter with "Nutty the Squirrel."
Narrative Introduction: Initial cutscenes are included to introduce players to the overarching narrative, setting the stage for the storyline to unfold in subsequent updates.

For more detailed information regarding features and planned content, customers are encouraged to refer to the "About This" section.”

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

“Early Access is free, anyone can play and send us feedback. However, the full version will likely have a small price tag attached so we can recoup some of the development cost.”

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

“We're planning to use Early Access feedback to speak with our community through Steam and our other social platforms. As a result, the community can directly get involved with the development of the game sending suggestions and reporting bugs to our team. Our hope is that, this will improve the final product.”
