What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game's features need testing for game direction. Networking features will be reviewed. Ball traversal and platforming mechanics will have adjustments. The balance and interactions of weapons and items will be calibrated. New maps and modes will be added. The early access isn't for bug testing, but for helping the relationship between the players and the game to find where the game fits.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The current plan for the game is to be in Early Access for about a year until launch. The current launch is roughly in June 2027.”

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

“The full version will be different from the Early Access version. The early access version will include all of the base features of the game. You will be able to play online in public and private lobbies. You will be able to interact with the environment, items, weapons and other players using movement, attacks, and status effects. The amount of items will be enough to cover the breadth of attack power and status effects. A basic game mode and map will let players learn how the interactions work. Basic customization will get players excited for future unlocks.
The full version will contain an increase in variety of the established features, including maps, weapons, game modes, and customization. once the base features are complete, the next stage can begin. The plan is to release 5 maps, 30 skins, 10 weapons, and 3 game modes.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current state of the Early Access version is multiplayer ready. Right now the focus on the base features of the game, including online play, player interactions, base items, weapons, and customization. It currently contains 1 map, 1 game mode, 10 skins, and 7 weapons with different status effects. You can play in public or private lobbies, with or without your friends.”

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

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we ship new content and features.”

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

“Studio communication will be available in the studio discord server. Feel free to join and communicate with developers about the plans and content.”
