What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This VR Hanetsuki game aims to deliver an intuitive and exhilarating gameplay experience in VR. We're planning to add new characters, doodle items, and various other features, but to bring them to life in the best way possible, we believe player feedback is essential. By collaborating with the community, we'll gather bug reports, balance tweaks, new feature ideas, and more—to evolve the game into something even more fun and engaging. We're convinced Early Access is the ideal platform for the dev team and players to build this together, and we sincerely ask for your support to complete it as a full release!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan for Early Access to last approximately one year.
During this period, we will continuously add new content and improve systems while incorporating player feedback.
We intend to move to full release once all planned features have been thoroughly polished.
We anticipate a minimum of one year in Early Access, though this duration may vary depending on development progress.”

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

“In the full release, we plan to add the following features on top of the Early Access version:

Additional characters: More opponents to face in hanetsuki.
New modes: Expanded selection of paint/doodle items usable after winning a match.
Community-driven improvements: Ongoing UI/UX enhancements, bug fixes, balance adjustments, and other refinements based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?


The core systems—hanetsuki rallies and the playful face-doodling penalty for the opponent when you win—are already complete.
Even in its current state, the matches against the NPC character offer a fully enjoyable experience.”

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

“There will be no price increase after Early Access ends.”

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

“We will actively seek player feedback through the Steam Community Hub, official Twitter, and various other channels.
Every comment and suggestion will be taken seriously by the dev team and used to improve the game.
We’re also very open to adding new features, characters, or items that weren’t in the original plan if they come from community discussion.
We truly want to build the best possible experience together with all of you!”
