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, his respective level and the ending, alongside NPCs that gradually fill up the hub world by completing specific stages. ”

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, the randomizer mode Dream Remixer and the Boss Arena 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 be increased. If you're reading this now, the price has already increased so that the game can go on launch discount as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding.”

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 beauties, Zooka here!

Our planet is suffering right now! Our source of power and magic, the Waterfall of Dreams, has been stolen! High up in outer space, the waterfall thief has it all to himself; someone must stop him! To reach him, you must gather all the Star Badges from its base! But I fear the residents aren't too happy about the missing waterfall...

Unfortunately, I can't do it myself. My specialty is intelligence, so I'm not fit for field combat. My big brain is a metaphorical weapon, not a literal one. And no, I am not a suitable weapon! However, I offer personal life advice, and special facilities that help improve oneself and their skills! Aren't I so great?? Now go bring back the Waterfall of Dreams, while I assist from the backlines!

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