Why Early Access?

“Pixel Pegz is designed to be a community-driven arcade pachinko experience, with a strong focus on custom levels, procedural generation, and unlockable content. Early Access allows us to gather feedback from players on level design, game balance, new peg and bucket types, and the overall feel of the gameplay loop. By involving the community early, we can refine the level editor, expand Workshop support, and introduce new features based on your ideas and suggestions. Your input will help shape Pixel Pegz into the best possible game for both casual players and creative level designers.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan to keep Pixel Pegz in Early Access for one year to build a solid foundation and deliver the best possible experience.”

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

“The full version of Pixel Pegz is planned to include more content, features, and polish based on community feedback and ongoing development. We aim to expand the variety of levels, add new peg and bucket types, introduce additional unlockable characters and cosmetics, and enhance the level editor and Workshop integration. Our goal is to refine gameplay, improve accessibility, and provide even more ways for players to create, share, and enjoy custom content.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of Pixel Pegz includes the full core gameplay loop: launching balls, hitting pegs, filling the energy bar, and unlocking new characters by collecting cards. Players can enjoy a wide variety procedurally generated levels, experiment with advanced peg and bucket types, and use the custom level editor to create and share their own challenges via Steam Workshop.

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

“Pixel Pegz will stay low and accessible, because everyone deserves to play games.”

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

“Community feedback is central to the development of Pixel Pegz. During Early Access, we’ll actively gather suggestions and bug reports through Steam forums. Players will help shape new peg and bucket types, balance gameplay, and improve the level editor. We’ll highlight and feature top-rated community levels via Steam Workshop integration, and regularly update the game based on your ideas. Your input will directly influence new features, cosmetic unlocks, and the evolution of Pixel Pegz.”
