Why Early Access?

“Being a very small indie company of dreamers and one real sleepy hedgehog - sometimes we feel that our dreams are a bit ahead of our current technical capabilities, but we're in a constant development of Joumee game, adding more levels and making gameplay more unique and captivating yet keeping it simple and stylish. We decided to enter Early Access program in order to finish off game considering player feedback and wishes. We, as well as little Joumee himself, need your valuable support throughout development process and of course we need new friends from all around the globe! So, if you have any comments, wishes or a caramel cake which you could send us - we would be more than happy! :)”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We plan on finishing off Joumee game by September 2018 unless some user player wishes and feedback require more development time.”

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

“We plan to add lots of cool stuff in the full version of the game! Just to name a few: we will include enemy characters (enemy animals trying to stop Joumee) deadly objects like falling lava rocks, cool animated obstacles etc. There will be significantly larger amount of unique levels, which along with random generation of levels will lead to truly unique and entertaining gaming experience. There will be more cool magic powerups on the way of Joumee to collect, bringing you more score points! Players will be able to actually spend collected coins on something valuable in-game, and also there will be more funny situations and funny obstacles to avoid.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Current state of game is presented by the core gameplay, where you have little (and incredibly cute) hedgehog Joumee, trying to stay on his way as long as possible, avoiding enemies and obstacles, trying to gather big scores and big money along his way. Warning: Currently all coin count and score points are not being stored anywhere yet, which means you will see them only once while in Game Over screen (but hey you can make a screenshot of it though and share it on social networks and brag about it to your friends!) This of course will be fixed in future updates. There is Magnet Power Up, which for a certain amount of time attracts to a character all Coins in a range, and also there is a Shield Power Up, protecting your hedgehog for a given amount of time from all ground enemies, except for falling into pits! (one doesn't simply go out of the pit full of spines - we checked it ourselves!)”

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

“We plan raising the final price of the full game probably to 3.90$”
