Get instant access and start playing; get involved with this game as it develops.

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Early access will allow us to port the web game to Steam, create new single player / custom / local / lan game modes (internet not required), refine the client/server netcode, and finalize the overall game concept into a single, complete, feature rich package of everything 2D Paintball has to offer.

We have been limited on many features in the Web version of our game - By utilizing Steam's platform and more native tools we will be able to build a better & simpler single player (local) and multiplayer (lan/local) modes, along with performance optimizations and more.

The Steam complete version of 2D Paintball will have added optimizations to run significantly better as a native executable on your computer, will not require internet to play locally, and will have all features, fields, client/server options, loadouts, settings, customizations, and networking options fully unlocked in the local/lan/custom/single player game modes.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“2D Paintball (Online Multiplayer Alpha) is already live and Free-to-play through your web browser; we do not plan for our Early Access to be a long drawn out process. Our current Steam complete featured build of 2DPB is already well underway and mostly finalized.

During Early Access, our plan is to refine the new Steam Build / Single Player / Local / Local Network modes, iron out the slew of new bugs, and get this "complete" Steam / .exe version finalized. We hope this can be achieved by the end of the year.”

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

“The Steam version of 2D Paintball will be the "complete" version and will include the online multiplayer/campaign & game modes, a graphics/lighting update, a.i. update, performance optimizations, and a new custom single player (local) and networked multiplayer (lan/local) modes, with all features, loadouts, & customizations fully unlocked (in local / custom modes only.)”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“Actively building the 2D Paintball game further into Steam's API and other Steam tools integrations. Along with further feature implementation, fixing bugs, extensive testing, fixing bugs, gathering feedback from users, fixing those bugs, and then fixing more bugs.”

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

“The game may be priced differently as we integrate into Steam, in which that it may require altering of our current Donation/Perk based system to a fixed pricing system w/ additional DLC for the online Perks through Steam. If this is the case (which it may not be) it would only affect new users Perks, as any/all current users with Perks will still keep their Perks during and after this process.”

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

About This Game

Notice: This Game Is a Challenging Sim!
We highly suggest reading & watching the How-To-Play!

★ 2D PAINTBALL | A REAL-TIME COMPETITIVE MULTIPLAYER PAINTBALL SIM, IN 2D! ★

★ Play the F2P Online Multiplayer Alpha on our website! ★ Read below for more info! ★



★ GAME THEORY ★

The idea is to create a highly competitive 2D simulated speedball experience, by trying to re-create the true feel, strategy, and gameplay of playing tournament speedball. We believe that getting all of the "small" details right is what can really make this game work even in a 2D environment.

So in turn, this game will be less about graphics and more about actually getting the "feels" of strategic high-caliber paintball in 2D!
