Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Don't Be Fool is a co-op game, and co-op games live or die on how groups of real players interact with each level. We can test mechanics internally, but we cannot predict the arguments, the betrayals and the accidental solutions that five friends come up with. Early Access lets us watch real groups play, learn which rules land and which fall flat, and shape the next worlds around what actually happens at the table. We would rather build the rest of the game with the community than guess in the dark.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning for roughly 6 to 12 months. The exact timing will depend on how quickly the remaining worlds come together and on what we learn from player feedback. We will not leave Early Access until we feel the level count and the overall polish justify a full release.”

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

“We plan for the full version to include more worlds with new mechanics, more levels within the existing worlds, additional character customization options, Steam achievements and improved controller support. We are also planning to expand localization based on where our players come from. Everything beyond the current content is a plan, not a promise, and priorities may shift based on what the community responds to.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version is fully playable from start to finish. It includes two worlds with hand-crafted levels, working online co-op for 2 to 5 players over Steam with friend invites, character customization, and all core mechanics such as pressure plates, elevators, the piano puzzle, the heat and umbrella system and player-to-player punching. You may run into occasional bugs and balance issues, especially in larger groups, and some menus are not yet fully controller-friendly.”

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

“We do not plan to change the price when the game leaves Early Access. The price you pay during Early Access is the price of the full game.
”

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

“We will mainly listen through the Steam Community Hub, reading discussions and bug reports and sharing development updates as we go. When player feedback changes a level or a mechanic, we will try to mention it in the patch notes.”

About This Game

Nobody gets through alone.

Don't Be Fool is an online co-op puzzle platformer for 2-5 players. Every door, every platform, every trap is built so that one player cannot pass it. Someone has to hold the switch. Someone has to go first. Someone has to decide who gets left behind.

Two buttons of depth

Move, and one action button. That's the entire control scheme. You'll understand it in ten seconds. The difficulty never comes from what you can press. It comes from whether five people can agree on when to press it.

Every level has a new trick

No two levels play the same. One minute you're stuck on a pressure plate that needs more weight than you've got; the next, the elevator only rises as long as you're the one staying behind. Then there's the piano: nobody can hold the whole melody in their head, so you're scribbling notes on the board while everyone argues about the order. The rule changes every time. The only constant: you solve it together, or not at all.

Dying is half the fun

Instant restart, no punishment. The joke is never that you lost. It's how you lost. And yes, you can punch each other. We know exactly what you're going to do with that.

Online, over Steam

Full Steam P2P networking with friend invites. No local-only nonsense, no port forwarding, no separate account. Invite from your friends list and play.
