What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The main campaign and optional DLC features are playable. We want players to help us refine the gameplay, controls and Level Editor through feedback before full release.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We currently expect the game to remain in Early Access for roughly one month. This estimate may change depending on player feedback and the improvements needed before full release.”

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

“We plan to improve the existing gameplay and editor experience in response to player feedback, alongside fixes and presentation polish.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The free base game contains 21 official caverns in Normal mode, with 8-bit and 16-bit graphics and display filters. Optional DLC adds Arcade Continues, level skipping, Speedrun and Mirror modes, the Level Editor, local custom levels and community-pack download, import and export features. The DLC descriptions explain which features each pack unlocks and the requirements for exporting packs.”

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

“The base game is free, with optional paid DLC. We do not currently plan to change this model when leaving Early Access.”

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

“Players can share feedback through Steam Discussions. Tell us about gameplay, controls, editor workflows and any problems importing, downloading or exporting packs. We will use that feedback to guide improvements to the existing game and editor.”

About This Game

Everything collected. Oxygen running low. One jump left.

The portal is your way out. First, you have to open it.

Cody's Collectathon is a retro, single-screen platformer about finding a route, timing your jumps and knowing when to move. Collect every required item, activate the switches and reach the exit before Cody runs out of oxygen.

21 caverns. Plenty of ways to get into trouble.

Explore frozen chambers, forest paths, an abandoned reactor and an ore mine. Watch patrolling enemies, cross crumbling floors and work your way around conveyors, ladders, webs and lasers. Normal mode starts you with five lives.

Choose your kind of retro.

Switch between 8-Bit Retro and 16-Bit Modern graphics. Keep the picture crisp, add CRT scanlines, choose smoothing or try the 8-bit monochrome display option.

Play the main campaign for free.

The free base game includes all 21 official caverns in Normal mode and both graphics styles.

Optional paid DLC adds more ways to play:
  • Pack 1: unlimited Arcade Continues, level skipping in supported non-Speedrun modes and official Speedrun mode.
  • Pack 2: the Level Editor, local custom-level play, official Mirror Normal mode and community-made level-pack features.
  • Pack 3: all features from Packs 1 and 2, including the combined Speedrun and Mirror modes.

Create your own challenge.

With Pack 2 or Pack 3, build collections of up to 50 caverns, customise 8-bit textures, sprites and portals, choose 16-bit visuals, backgrounds and weather, and test each room as you create it.

Download compatible packs from the in-game catalogue or import a compatible ZIP. Community-made packs are freely distributed; Gazman Software does not charge for the packs themselves. DLC unlocks the editor and pack-management features.

Game-pack export requires an internet connection, confirmation that you are 18 or older, and successful Test & Save completion of every level. Exports are limited to one game pack per 24 hours.
