What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Because the game is still in development and many features are still yet to be added. Things like maps, player movement and the gameplay loop are still in development and need refinement. With the help of the community those features can be developed further and stronger. Receiving feedback and suggestions while the game is still in development is important to me, and I want to make sure the game is as fun as possible.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“About 3-5 months”

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

“In the future I want add things such as, more maps, improved current maps. Also more player movement features, improved graphics, and more customization options. I also plan to finish the store so that customization options can be unlocked over time with gameplay.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Currently there are 4 maps, 16 customization options, in game chat and leaderboards. ”

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

“No the game will always be free.”

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

“I want the community to be able to provide feedback and suggestions on both current, and future features. This includes things like undiscovered bugs, suggest player skins or map improvements. Players are encouraged to give suggestions either via the google forum or through the discord server. I will try my best to incorporate all feedback into the game one way or another.”
