What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We want to continue to add content to and balance the game, and have reached the point of development where community feedback will be extremely valuable for that process.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're on track to have a full release in 12-18 months”

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

“We are releasing to early access with 5 playable characters, 2 complete levels, 8 weapons, and 30 gameplay altering items. By full release we plan to have at least 8 playable characters, 4 main story levels, bonus levels if time permits, 12 weapons, and about 40 items. ”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The basic gameplay features are all fully implemented, as well as important quality of life features such as control remapping, accessibility settings, and a menu to view all unlockable items and the goals required to unlock them. The characters and weapons are fully implemented and balanced to create diverse playstyles. The levels are fully functional with unique enemies and 3 boss fights each, though are still in need of additional rebalancing. Some art assets are unfinished, still needing some shading and polish, as it's all hand animated and takes time. ”

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

“We will likely have a slight price increase when leaving Early Access”

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

“We will be collecting feedback on build balancing and desired features as we continue development.”
