Miksi Early Access?

As a solo developer working on my first incremental clicker game, Early Access is crucial for gathering feedback. Incremental games rely heavily on pacing, and balance. I want to ensure the progression feels rewarding and fair by adjusting values based on real player data and feedback before the full release.
