What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to incorporate gamers' ideas into development and connect with our community to create a better game. Although the game is not yet fully polished, we believe that building alongside our players will result in a more engaging and refined experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Roughly 6-12 months. We plan to gather community feedback during Early Access to refine gameplay mechanics, balance, and add additional content before the full release.”

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

“We plan to expand the game based on player feedback. Our development goals include:

- Additional levels and stages
- More character customization options
- Enhanced multiplayer features
- Expanded story content

However, these plans may evolve based on community feedback and development realities.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version currently features:

- Core gameplay mechanics fully implemented and playable
- 15 unique levels across 3 different environments
- 5 playable characters with distinct abilities
- Base multiplayer functionality for up to 4 players
- Main story campaign (approximately 6-8 hours of gameplay)
- 10+ enemy types and 3 boss encounters
- Basic customization options
- Full English language support
- Original soundtrack
- Tutorial and training modes

All core features described in the "About This Game" section are already implemented and playable. Players can enjoy a complete gameplay experience while we continue to add additional content and polish based on community feedback.”

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

“The game will be free during the early access period, and will transition to a paid model after early access ends.”

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

“We want to actively engage with our community through our Discord channel where players can share their ideas, feedback, and suggestions. We believe that incorporating player input into development will help us create a better game.”

About This Game

Program drones using simple Python programming language and automate various investment tasks to get boring simple work done. Press "Run" and experience the satisfaction of watching drones complete all the hard work for you.

Unlike many programming games, this game is not structured around clearing level by level, but progresses continuously.

Once you earn funds through tasks, you can use them to unlock the next technology.

Programming is done in simple Python language. The game is designed so that from the beginning, basic programming concepts that will be needed are introduced one by one, allowing you to learn them.

All relevant information is shown, but when solving various tasks in the game, explanations are not given one by one. You need to find solutions yourself. For people without programming experience, this may feel extremely challenging.

If you have extensive programming experience, you can breeze through the early stages of the game and progress to more complex tasks. It should still be an interesting challenge for you.
