What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“I want to try Early Access so that player feedback can meaningfully impact the game, and see their feedback being put into practice in real time.

This game has been built on light years worth of feedback and player input, and I would like to continue this practice to make the game as good as possible, which not only involves listening to the community, but also giving them a more universal platform to voice their thoughts.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“I plan on being in Early Access for around 2-3 months. The game's first draft is almost done, but I'm expecting revisions being made to both major and minor systems based on player feedback to make the game more fun and accessible.”

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

“I plan on implementing the final boss and his respective level, alongside a Boss Arena mode and NPCs that gradually fill up the hub world by completing each stage. ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently, there is a hub world with 7 stages, each with their own boss fights (basically every stage minus the final boss stage). Color mochi and badges have been implemented in game as collectables, and the randomizer mode will be unlocked when all the current stages have been completed.”

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

“Price will increase to the 10-15 dollar price range, but I haven't decided the final number yet. This will be announced as soon as possible!”

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

“Our Discord server (link on this page) would be the best way for your voice to be heard! If you have feedback, concerns, etc, please send them to our Discord server. If you upload your opinions elsewhere, I cannot guarantee that I'll be able to see it! Steam Community is fine too if you don't feel like joining the server, which is perfectly understandable.

I will take all the data to revise the game, all to make this game even better! I won't be able to implement everything that gets brought up (mostly if it betrays the vision), but I will always consider each new change with them in mind!”

STORY

An excerpt from our lovely(?) Zooka.

"Hi lovelies, Zooka here!

Our planet is suffering right now! Our source of aura and dreams, the Waterfall of Dreams, has gone missing! How is that even possible?! Well, we must investigate because I am obviously a great and caring person!

Unfortunately, I can't do it myself. My specialty is intelligence, so I'm not fit for field combat. Can't use my big brain to knock these guys out, after all. However, I offer personal life advice, and special facilities that help improve oneself and their skills! Aren't I so great?? Now go stop these menaces to society, while I hide...I mean, assist from the backlines!

...don't look at me like that! I'm helping tons with things like onboarding and education..."
