Qual é o estado atual da versão de acesso antecipado?

"The Early Access version of "Just Another Endless Runner" is feature-complete with its core gameplay mechanics fully implemented. Players can experience dynamic, procedurally generated forest environments, offering a fresh experience with each run. Core features such as coin collection, the resume mechanic (which allows players to continue after dying), and character movement/jumping/obstacle avoidance are all polished and functioning as intended.

At this stage, the primary gameplay loop is stable, with all major known bugs resolved. However, the shop integration is not yet functional and will be introduced in a future update. Additionally, weather effects, which were part of the original plan, have been temporarily disabled while optimization improvements are made to ensure higher FPS performance.

We are also working on balancing power-ups and fine-tuning difficulty progression. Future updates will introduce expanded customization options for characters and more visual enhancements. Player feedback during Early Access will be essential in guiding these ongoing improvements.
