What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The game is already playable and the core experience is in place, but I want to build the rest of it together with player feedback. My goals for Early Access are to expand the game to 10 levels, add new mechanics, and balance difficulty based on how players actually experience the levels. I am committed to updating the game regularly and seeing it through to a full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“Approximately 5 months.”

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

“The Early Access version currently has 10 levels. The full version is planned to have 70 levels, along with:

Saved level progression (not available yet)
[Mechanic 1, Collect items]
[Mechanic 2, Use props]
New entities/enemies in later levels

These plans may change based on player feedback.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The current build includes 10 playable levels,
    . Not yet available: saved level progression and the additional levels and mechanics listed above. Known issues: "None at the moment". New levels will be added in regular updates, and this description will be updated as the content grows.
”

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

“No. The price will stay the same at the full release.”

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

“I plan to involve the community by listening to player feedback, suggestions, and bug reports throughout development. Community feedback will help me decide which improvements, new levels, gameplay changes, and features should be prioritized. I also plan to use player feedback to improve the game and make the Early Access experience better over time.”
