Why Early Access?

“SPACE BULLET is a co-op bullet-hell survival game for up to 8 players. The core game is already playable. Balancing a barrage shooter for 1 to 8 players, 5 classes and several game modes takes a lot of real play data. Early Access lets us gather feedback from a wide range of players on difficulty, class balance, online stability and controller support, and use it to shape the full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect the game to stay in Early Access for roughly 6 months. This is an estimate and may change depending on player feedback and how development goes.”

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

“For the full version, we plan to:
- Add more stages, aiming for a total of 【10】 stages, with new bosses and barrage patterns
- Add more classes and expand the abilities of the current ones
- Improve difficulty balance for solo play and for groups of every size up to 8
- Improve the stability of online multiplay (Steam lobbies / P2P)
- Add more ways to progress and unlock content
- Expand localization, accessibility options and settings
- Improve the visuals, sound and overall polish

All of these plans may change based on community feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current version includes:
- Stages 1–5 and an EXTRA STAGE
- 3 game modes: Stage, Infinity and Boss Rush
- 5 difficulty levels: CASUAL / NORMAL / HARD / NIGHTMARE / LUNATIC
- 5 playable classes, each with its own weapon and unique skill
- A weak-point and BOSS BREAK system for boss fights
- A 32×32 pixel drawing mode for designing your own ship
- Online co-op for up to 8 players through Steam lobbies
- 10 Steam Achievements
- Japanese, English, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese
- Keyboard, mouse and Xbox controller support

All stages can be played from start to finish. Balance, performance and some features are still being worked on, so you may run into bugs or rough edges.”

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

“We have not finalized our pricing plans yet, but we do not plan to set the price lower than the Early Access price. Any price change will be announced in advance.”

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

“We will read feedback in the Steam Community discussions and reviews 【and on our Discord server / X account】. We will use bug reports, balance feedback and feature requests to decide what to work on next. We plan to post regular updates with patch notes so players can see how their feedback has shaped the game.”
