What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“From the very start, we knew we wanted to involve the community in the design of this game. For the first Early access launch, we plan on delivering what we think is the core experience and then focus on the features that players want.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We are planning an early access period of around six months. We will continue working with the community until we feel the game is polished and feature complete.”

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

“The current plan is for the full version to include the following additional features:
  • Challenge levels (non-randomized levels).
  • Achievements.
  • Sector four with new enemy types and level art.
  • More bosses, enemies, secret areas, level variations.
We will post a roadmap shortly after Early Access launch outlining our proposed features. As always we will listen to the community on this.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access launch version of the game has three fully playable sectors with multiple types of stages. In each sector the player chooses a path consisting of five stages so there are 15 stages in any “run” of the game. Since levels are procedurally generated this offers a lot of replayability.
In addition to the starting ship, there are six additional ships to unlock. There are over 70 items (ships, modules, pods, weapons, etc.) currently in the game.
There are no story sequences in the game yet and there will only be a few music tracks early on.”

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

“There is currently no plan on changing the price.”

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

“We are interested in all types of feedback from the community such as gameplay and content suggestions, game balancing, and anything that can help us create a great gaming experience. We look forward to hearing from players through Steam forums, our twitter and support email.”

Features

  • Unlock ships with different starting weapons and stats.
