What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early acces gives us the opportunity to build our community before a full release, while providing us with the opportunity to gather feedback quickly with every update that we push. Community feedback is really important for us, so with EA we are able to gather feedback to help us shape the game into a full version. ”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to release Popcorn Popstars out of Early Access once we’ve expanded the game with a much broader roster of factions, units, and traits, along with additional challenges. We’re targeting a full release within the next year, as we continue to build on the foundation that’s already in place.”

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

“We plan to add more unique units to the game to broaden the amount of traits available to build a team with. We also plan to add a lot more music tracks to fit different environments and challenges in the game. Lastly, we plan to expand the variety of enemies to fight against and the amount of upgrades you can get to win with.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Our core gameloop is as good as finished. We have currently 3 different factions of units, and during the early access we will expand on the amount of factions. Expanding on factions means adding new units, new passives and new consumables that comes with these factions. ”

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

“Yes. Price will be raised gradually as we continue to ship new content.”

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

“The community will be involved in voting to decide the next faction that will be added to the game. We will be giving them a choice between 2 to 3 different factions that we already have planned, and they can vote on which one will be made first. ”

About This Game

Popcorn Popstars is a rhythm autobattler where the battlefield is a blockbuster movie and your squad are its stars. Build a team of three trope-powered heroes and keep the beat alive to win the fight as well as the hearts of the crowd.

Every fight scene starts with a good beat - and if you can't keep yours, your heroes won't stand a chance.

Tap the drums in perfect tempo to fuel your squad's energy. Every henchman defeated earns more and more cheers, earning you Hype coins.

Spend your hard-earned Hype coins on posters, merch and lunchboxes to recruit new stars, upgrading your teams synergy and unlocking prime-time potential.

Find similarities where you didn't think they exist. Maybe King Arthur and A red Sentai hero make up a powerful duo?

Don't just typecast your heroes. Use limited-edition merch cards to expand their range and experiment with new character dynamics. Who is the say your chivalrous knight can't also be a marksman?

Every run is a fresh casting call, letting you retool your trio, remix old favorites, and chase weird new synergies you never thought would work. No hero is stuck in one role, and no build is off the table if you’re willing to push your range.

Every star deserves to shine, but some do more than others.

Every run has you selecting a Protagonist. A unit that gets just a little more focus and juice to steal the spotlight. Any unit can be a protagonist, but each movie only has one at a time.

This doesn't mean your supporting teammates don't get their hype moments. Charge up spectacular spotlight attacks - cinematic bursts of power where your chosen hero steals the scene. Time the right to turn the tide, interrupt enemies plans, or just show off in front of a roaring crowd.
