Why Early Access?

“Platform Hell is launching in Early Access to gather valuable feedback from our dedicated platformer community. We want to ensure every level provides the perfect balance of challenge and fairness. Player feedback will help us refine difficulty curves, identify potential bugs, and add features that enhance the core platforming experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We estimate Platform Hell may remain in Early Access for approximately 6-12 months, though this timeline could change based on community feedback and development progress.”

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

“We plan to explore additional levels, potential new gameplay mechanics, enhanced visual effects, improved audio design, and possible speedrun features based on Early Access feedback. We may also investigate new trap types and platforming challenges, though all future content depends on community response and development feasibility.”

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