Why Early Access?

“The objective for Early Access is to refine everything that is offered currently, and develop more features that may have been missed. This can only be done with the help of the community of Puzzlers that are out there that don't have a solution like Tab and Notch. Together, we will build the best destination for casual, and competitive puzzlers by expanding features, accepting artwork from the community, enhanced audio, and competitions based on input from those in the puzzling world.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Tab and Notch plans to be in Early Access until, roughly, September 1st, 2026. But it is possible that longer Ea is possible to resolve any issues that might hinder the success of the application and related services. Tab and Notch will add features based on input from participants in the Early Access period, and provide a solid server foundation to provide the game and service for the future. How long it takes depends on the scope of features that need to be added to benefit the community.”

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

“The plan is to develop a community where puzzlers can play each other or solo build whenever they want. Tab and Notch is developing a store where players can purchase more puzzles, more music, more sound effects, more table designs, take part in tournaments, win prizes, sponsor events, purchase branded puzzles and puzzle libraries sets.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build is stable with a smaller set of each feature offered in the 1.0 release, but Tab and Notch will continue to add Puzzles, Sounds, Table designs, and more, but would benefit from a larger audience to resolve any issues not detected. It has been tested with a limited number of people and has migrated to a more robust back-end to support expansion in Early Access. Everything found in the About This section is available to players now.”

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

“Yes. During early Access the game will be at a reduced amount, once Tab and Notch exits Early Access, the price will increase to its expected retail price and may increase as new content and features impact that service.”

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

“The community will be integral to troubleshooting issues and expanding features through commenting on the Steam discussion boards for this application, on the website for the application, and on Discord, on Twitch, and Youtube.”
